This is what they all say - I learned every scale in every position. Oz Noy said the same thing. That’s great but that doesn’t really answer the question. What you need is a system for locating the next note when the underlying chord changes. In other words the map has changed, how do you know where the next note is in the new map based on where you are coming from in the old map. I’m attempting to not leap to conclusions but so far what I’ve seen suggests that great improvisers almost universally do some variation of chord/scale mapping like CAGED. This is what we address in the Martin Miller / Through the Changes interview, and Martin is the closest I’ve heard any of the jazz types articulate a step by step process for doing it. I’m sure plenty of others have done so but it’s not something I’ve looked into.
Frank doesn’t know the term pickslanting but he is well aware he does it. He doesn’t think about it as an alternate picking thing, he thinks about it as necessary for sweeping.
