Going from beginner to intermediate. (or intermediate to advance)
Here’s a little trick I’ve learned as a banjo player.
Let’s say you’ve learned the easier break to a tune and are trying to learn the harder break. Learn the harder break backwards!. When you go to the more difficult break. Learn the measures of the last 1 or 2 chord changes first. The second time you play the break it starts off the same and people think they know how it’s going to end but they are pleasantly surprised by your HOT ending, If you start off your second break with a couple of advanced measures and then fall back on the beginners break it sounds as if you bit off more then you could chew and gave up. Slow work your way backward through the break, chord change by chord change. Try it, the difference is totally psychological but it works for me!

I've recently heard the same thing advised if you find it hard to memorise tab - start at the end and work backwards. I havent tried it myself yet, but I'm going to give it a go!
