Topic: A question for Joe (that wasn't answered during the facebook q&a)

I would like to start off saying I understand that there was a high volume of questions posted in a short amount of time during Joe's Facebook Q&A today, so I do not take it personally that mine was not answered. However, I was hoping joe would be willing to answer it on the forum. my question for joe is, "What would you recommend in terms of practice in order to gain speed and fluency while soloing? Also, what is your practice routine? And what would you suggest practicing in order to become better at improvising in the style of Paul Kossoff, B.B. King, Yourself, Eric Johnson, and Wes Montgomery?" I would greatly appreciate a reply to this question, i am curious as to your answer, and would really like some advice from a guitarist of your caliber.

Thanks,

Django

Seems you may have answered some of this yourself. Just study Joe's style many of the talent you mentioned is rolled into Joe's style.
