Pretty simple book, basically his take on Fretboard logic - I figured it would be, but found it for sale and thought it would be cool to have so I bought it and scanned it for all of you. As simple and obvious as it might seem, I think it is also a helpful reminder that we ought to occasionally return to basics; the arpeggios might be the most important thing in improvising, so why not take another look?

For sure guys! This one might not bring too much discussion, but definitely worth a read, only took me about 10 minutes, but I plan on going back to it and actually trying to absorb it. I think I will probably take chunks of 4-5 frets and work through all the tonalities / scale/chord shapes, should be a breeze after the first, but I think it will help me remember where each interval of each chord is in any key or position. I sent it to someone else as well who suggested I look at abook by Pat Martino called Linear Expressions (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4S3f4zHrJF-ZkFuQ3JKRzhiVlk), Martino's a killer player and the PDF looks interesting (easy to find on the webs).

I'm planning on dropping another one for you guys too, but it is twice as long and I am having trouble setting aside time at the University library to scan page-by-page.
