I`m with Kirk in that it`s a great help to imagine speaking or singing the melodic line.

I think musical skills are intricately wired in our brains with the same bits that let us work with the rhythms, tone and melody of speech. If you can mimic them in your playing, you will actually begin to communicate some sort of feeling with the sounds you are making.

You are in effect, saying it with your fingers IMHO.
