A simple way in
A cleaner backing track for singing, rehearsal, and covers when you want the song to stay familiar but the lead vocal to step aside.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
Johnny Cash's recording of Wayfaring Stranger. Lyrics : I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling thru this world below Theres no sickness, no toil, no danger In that bright land to which I go Im going there to see my Father And all my loved ones who've gone old Im just going over Jordan Im just going over home I know dark clouds will gather round me, I know my way is hard and steep But beauteous fields arise before me Where Gods redeemed their vigils keep Im going there to see my Mother She said shed meet me when I come So I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home
