5 Unconventional Johnny Winter Licks (that I forgot)

    Here are 5 licks from a Johnny Winter course that I taught several years ago that had disappeared from my vocabulary. I was listening to the demonstration from that course this week, and I realized that once I finished the course, I never revisited that solo, and these licks (which are unconventional compared to what I normally play) had just.... vanished from my memory. I picked out these 5 because they all incorporate something new that I had never encountered before studying Johnny's playing for the course.
