That sounds like a reasonable approach, to me.
I listen to VW often but often cannot understand how he does what I hear. YouTube is a good resource for illustrations. When I do hear something I want to play, I experiment with variations on what my hands can already do until I find my way to play it, slowly. Then, it's a matter of practice, practice, practice, with a metronome. When that fails, I search for new techniques.
