It would be REALLY hard to learn all of the individual notes in a lick like this one from Gary Moore in his tune, “Key To Love”…

However, if you know the pentatonic scale pattern, and you understand the melodic pattern, and you have it under your fingers…

You’ll quickly see that there’s actually very little memorization going on…. it’s just a couple of patterns.

If you see this and think, “I’ll never be able to play that fast,” well, you might be surprised by that as well…

Again, if you understand the patterns, and you focus on the timing (being really good at playing triplets)…

Then you might very well have the finger speed to play licks like this, but your ear is holding you back.

Keep the timing in mind, keep counting, and focus on that above all else, and you’ll be playing stuff like this before you know it.
