I do the YouTube Daddy Stovepipe blues things, mostly his lessons that include a (for pay) TAB, and when learning, use the YouTube control to slow down the speed to 1/2 or even 1/4, and the loop feature to loop certain licks that I need to do many reps to get the rhythm and syncopation right.
Some of those loops, for me, are only 4 to 6 seconds long.
For me, watching and listening and trying to play just from that, comes first, and when I am close, then go to the TAB to cement it all in place and get the song sections all understood for start-to-finish practice.
