those patterns right under your fingers ... so much so
that you do not have to revert to these types of
pneumonic memory systems we musicians (especaily
guitarists) are famous for ...

there, I jsut need to relie less on the patterns and
pneumonics and more on my ear ... but it
comes...little by little ... (that's waht all the
memorization and systems are all about -- that one day
it all gets dropped because the ear finally tells the
fingers where to g0...)
I think Miles once said something about this very
