It’s easy to look at a slow blues lick (or hear one) and think there’s no possible way you’re going to be able to play it…
Especially if it’s some sort of “flurry” from SRV, or Walter Trout, or Johnny Winter, etc. But if you understand that those flurries are often triplets inside of triplets, you’ll see that you can expand the lick first, then slowly build it up to speed using a metronome.
You only have to go through this process once and you’ll have a new world at your fingertips.

My 72 year old fingers are still glacially slow, but I’ll add this to my practice routine and see how things go. I’ve been using BGU courses for several years now and appreciate the common-sense approach despite my difficulty at sticking with counting!
Very lucid explanation that encourages the possibility in me with 78-year old but still flexible fingers. One of your best lessons of late. Very much appreciated!
