Well I'm certainly no expert and it seems strange for me to give advice, but if that 4+uh to 1+uh is messing with you, you might try listening to the recording, either of Sitting Easy or any song actually, without your guitar and just counting through the whole thing. Gets you used to going 4 to 1 repeatedly and gives you the feel. I'm on Hideaway now and still find myself counting out the first several bars but then playing without counting. Hmm.Joining the club. I got to where I was counting the first four licks fairly smoothly, but Sitting Easy Blues is a real challenge for me. Hardest is when, for example, the lick in bar two slides into the first beat of bar three so there's no distinct pause between bars. Going from four-and-uh-ONE-and-uh without a pause is messing me up mentally for some reason.
Clearly the solution is Moar Praktuss. I'll be Sitting Easy on this one for a while.
