Rolly is a terrific instructor, as this sample attests. Particularly helpful and important here are the discussions concerning the benefits of studying a vocalist's approach to a line as a means of developing phrasing in improvisation and also the relativity of each single note in a solo to its chordal backdrop.
Also when doing a slide into the E , try sliding quarter notes , but instead of using a single finger try sliding with first the pinky, then the ring , then the middle, then the index , in sequence. Also try sliding to the fifth fret but also alternate picking the open E and the fretted E doing quarter notes and working up to tremolo picking , the slower rhythms might require some muting techniques to work on as well.
A lot of great jazz guitarists will say that when they started out, they didn't try to play like the great guitarists but rather the great jazz singers and horn players.

Been a ‘fan’ since your Winfield days. So happy to see you here on YT. Thank you for your patience as we struggle to tame our guitars ..
Great Lesson!....Thank You. I wish I had this caliber of teacher when I was first learning to play.
Superb instruction, Mr. Brown..lucid and stimulating

Frank Sinatra was known for his phrasing and his "horn-like attack."
Nice. But, that guitar sounds like crap.
