This should be extremely useful material to absorb because it's a contemporary take on a shuffle blues in F.

I kept this video rolling as I was thinking aloud and mapping out the form and chord changes behind this song. I finally dig into Sanborn's solo at 19:59 but along the way I'm sharing my thoughts about form, chords and harmony choices, etc.

https://looptube.io/ is great for YouTube. It's free and just put the video URL in and you can create A-B sections.
 
I use Amazing Slow Downer but it now only works with Apple Music or files you upload. It stopped working with Spotify. I've documented how I use it here and here.

"I was initially concerned I wouldn't have time to practice the material, but the opposite has happened: I'm more motivated to practice!"
