"Not enough!" is what I'd say.

I don't approach them as something to have to learn one at a time in numerical fashion, though.

I do approach them on the basis of what I hear that I'd like to add to my own personal arsenal, though.

I will play them back using the Random setting using the Jukebox feature, often while doing something else at the puter, like tending to these forums, etc.

When I hear one that stands out, to my ears and thinking at the time, I will jot that one into Notepad file I keep on the desktop for the purpose.

If you are like me, there is usually a song that I've been working out on that is in my mind at the time, this means that when I hear the example played over the certain change and I know that it is not something I would go for or think of, but fits, well, I make a note of that one's number in Notepad and at some practice session or other will try to get that one and incorporate it.

I also don't try to NAIL the darn thing in the sense that I'm just regurgitating it, IMO that's Classical Music.

Well, at first I'll go for nailing it, but all too soon I'm trying to personalize that new tidbit somehow.

Again, its well, Jazz.

Close enough.
