On this page I present the notation of the licks I came up with during the practice sessions. The practice sessions were based on lick 1, 3, and 5 through 12. The other licks, though certainly an important part of McCoy's idiolect, were not used in my practice sessions. Below this text are the licks I extracted from the McCoy transcriptions, i.e., the licks I based my practice sessions on.
