So you are on the right path. I assume you are also playing those difficult chunks very, very slowly? By doing that and using a metronome I saw my progress speed up quite a bit.
Stay with it!

Reeve, yes I do try to play them more slowly but sometimes I speed up anyway, out of habit. Then I'll start from the beginning and try to see how far I can go without messing up, then back to one or two trouble bars.
The bars that I have had to work the hardest on are 10 and 14, with the funny F stuff. I probably play those couple of sections more than anything.
