Hi Christopher,
Just a little of my background: I’m old! was playing concert classical guitar for 30 yrs and took up jazz a few years back (got tired of Classical) but also taught college and numerous students.
This bebop course, IMHO, is the best I’ve seen.
And you’ve hit upon something that’s the essence of improvisation on guitar. YOu have to be able to use all 7 patterns so that they become one big pattern that, no matter where you are on the neck, you can develop a line. When I started the 7 pattern system and the etudes, by instinct, I did the same thing. I’m very proficient technically so I just deduced that these intervallic phrases should be done all over in every pattern (why not?. I do the same thing with the arpeggios and scales.
This is just going to flourish later on in limitless phrases that you’ll be able to design all over the neck.
You rock my man!
