Well I don't know what you have to do. But as a severe dyslexic I have to do everything by ear when learning. Since a friend recently turned me on to Brent Mason I was in awe being more of a blues player. At 49 I have just been revitalized by Brent and Alberts playing styles. One thing and I don't deal with is numbers or too much with note names as it is too dificult for me. I found that the Po's and HO's are really where it is at for those really fast runs. I will take the MP3 and disect each bar note for note and practise the minute note segments until I can get the full lick run down. What this does for me is to understand the methode to the madness and to step into their playing mentality environement. I take it real slow to help with the machanics of the style and to train my brain for reaction. Mind blowing and frustrating to me as it is all new to me but we can do it if we practise and are patient and do not worry about speed at first. To me that comes with rythym and feel when your brain is ready for it. Good luck but get ready to bleed and get pissed off at yourself and feel like a no talent moron that is not worthy of owning a guitar lol.
