Finally found something of yours to listen to and check out, man! Pretty Cool, DUDE! I read your brain games post above. It's neat reading how my smooth brain grows wrinkles, haha!

I do agree with the slow practice at the end of music playing at speed. I started doing that last week, and I feel my practice sessions(?) (I am very dyslexic, I think that is the correct spelling) are much better overall. I'm sure you have a lot more wisdom than I do, man, but I strongly suggest making the hard parts of the song their own dedicated practice session. I just started doing that this week, but it HELPS me run the brain wires through the thought conduit and connect the circuit. 

I've been grabbing the four most difficult bars and dedicating just 10 minutes to them. I play them four times, slowly and deliberately, as your post suggested. Then I speed it up just a simidgen. After that I take a quick minute break, check my hand postioning is still good on the neck and the bridge, then play it slow again four times. I do that for about nine minutes and then play it one last time, slow, just like your post reads. It's helping me a lot, bud. 

If I may make a constructive criticism. I know your much better at the guitar than I am, but I noticed something small. A kind look over your bends, try locking your ring finger in, support it with the other two fingers, and rotate your forearm up. You're pressing the string up with your fingers or pulling the string down with your hand. 

LAST! I'm not too much of a Joe Bonamassa fan, but whoever wrote those piano licks needs to know I'm a fan of theirs. I listened to Live at the Greek Theater this week and loved that piano on the album. It's awesome. 

Thanks for the cool reads and for sharing some of your music with me. Maybe I'll upload something soon since you and Mike seem so supportive of one another. 

Be safe, brother!!
