Hey Bartholomew. Couldn't sleep last night so I ran off at the mouth. I believe it's a pretty sound way to learn Doc's style, but I am certainly aware that it won't give ya Doc's "soul".

Marty, if you haven't REALLY been scared off by all this, lemme tell you that the steps I outlined aren't for everybody.....but....if you are obsessed with playing Doc's stuff, you can do it. What will probably happen though is if you follow those steps, you'll develop your own "soul"....but you'll REALLY have some chops to express it. Keep in mind, my advice was based entirely on how you described your current musical skills.
