When I learned this song the parts that gave me problems I would single out and play those for awhile and just start playing them at a very slow pace. Id just play slow and make sure to hit every note good and over time the speed just built along with it.

If you want to get better don't learn it fast. That was the most annoying advice ever...sorry.

Slow and steady wins the race, may not be as fast but will more accurate.

Here's a tip: Don't use just your index finger and thumb to pick. That's how I would fingerpick, and it took me a while to get up to speed. Now I can play it at a 190 tempo (Clapton's: 160) max., but it's almost like a freakin' trance I go into. Hell, it is. If you use your middle finger as well it'll help a lot with the chorus.

Just my trial-and-error advice....
