FYI, it seems the video (lesson 3) no longer plays on the blog.  However, it seems he just recently posted it on his youtube channel, where you can find all of his videos:

Weird coincidence.  I'm watching the video on the blog and your reply above notifies me via email.  Anyway, it's working for me on the blog but thanks for the link anyway.  I'm kind of fascinated with these little tid bits.  Cactus, you are a cool cat by the way.

some good practice if you want to practice patterns with bigger leaps:
After getting past the first octave I am referring to the extensions of the notes, hence, 2nd scale tone =9, 4th = 11, and 6th=13
3rds:R,3,2,4,3,5,4,6,5,7,6,1,7,9,1,3,9,11....
4ths: R,4,2,5,3,6,4,7,5,1,6,9,7,3,R,11...
5ths: R,5,2,6,3,7,4,R,5,9,6,3,7,11,R,5...
6ths: R,6,2,7,3,R,4,9,5,3,6,11,7,5,R,13...
7ths: R,7,2,R,3,9,4,3,5,11,6,5,7,6,R,7...

Also with pattern that Patrick was mentioning 1,2,3,2,3,4,3,4,5,4,5,6,5,6,7,6,7,8... Practice this as 1/8, triplets, & 16th notes.  The cool sounding one is doing it in 16th notes in 4/4 time.  Or do runs of 4 (1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,6,7,1,2,7,1,2,3,1,2,3,4...) practice in 1/8ths, triplets &16th notes.  This pattern sounds really cool in triplets over 4/4 time.  Use a metronome so you can really hear the difference. 

Anyway, this stuff is tedious but they are great exercises to be able to get through.  I wouldn't draw on it too much when improvising, but it sure sounds cool to pull off some of the ideas that involve them every once in a little while in little spurts.

Check out Jimmy Herring's "Jam Session" guitar videos, he's all about intervallic study and has a really great warm-up tool as one video. You can get the music in the guitar world magazine's his column was in. More importantly, Jimmy does a lot of master class, which are always video-taped, so check them out! Also, use a metronome with those studies!

I appreciate the suggestion, but will not be doing this.  Jimmy Herring is the musical equivolent of blue balls, and I don't want to do to people what he does to me.  :D ;D
