Chain Phrases
- As you learn each lick, progressively chain learned licks together until you can play the entire
chorus (still slow tempo, ~30%)
Record
- As you get close to finishing each chorus, record yourself playing that chorus slowly to the
original track and listen back (with sheet music in hand) for errors. Playing to the song with
headphones will capture only you on the recording, making assessment easier. Your phone’s
voice memo app is great for this (you don’t need to use an elaborate recording setup). Recording
is the BEST was to self-asses your progress and uncover errors that you’re not aware of.

Jam Tracks (Other tracks that are not the original… slightly too fast, too slow, too bluesy, too
