Sometimes a lick is learned, but not internalized. A part of the lick becomes familiar, but the rest of it is not clear enough to play through.
So, the playing returns to the beginning, because it feels comfortable. The next part doesn’t move ahead, and the full phrase never forms.
It feels like working on it because there is repetition and effort, but it doesn’t turn into something that can be used in actual playing.
It is like trying to say a sentence but returning to the first few words each time because that part is known.
The rest of the words don’t come out, and the sentence never completes.
