Great video, Mr. Geeze; one that may be applied to other genres, although, that jazz sound is great. I notice his notes tend toward ascending and descending scales. That is something one of my early teachers had us doing. For example, he would have us look at a phrase, tell him what the lowest and highest notes were, and use that information to decide where on the neck to play it.
Although I am a believer in learning from the positions, six of them, I have found note selection moves vertically as well at horizontally. Early instruction had us learning the notes on the individual string, which is well and good. I still believe that knowing the notes in each position makes running up and down any string much easier, because inevitably, there will be a point to bail out and shift to a higher or lower string. Then of course there are those bass and pentatonic patterns always in the toolbox. By position, I mean, for example, Position Three is frets 5-8, index finger on the 5th fret. Position Six is index on the 12th fret, and so on.
Not trying to be contrary here, but You Tube seems to have position and pattern overload.

Good Points ed shaw
Thanks,
I try to use Mick Goodrick's "The Advancing Guitarist" to help break up too much reliance on patterns.
Bill Frisell, one of my favorite guitarists, is also a master of playing things out of position. Watching him play, you can almost feel him think ahead to where he might go for that next note. Uncanny.
Jens provides a significant amount of material in his videos. The area that has helped me most is harmonizing the scale. Slowly but surely I can grab different harmonizations for the meolody I am trying to play. This comes as a result of working on 1-3,1-3-5,1-3-5-7 harmonies and their inversions.
At first it was a bit mechanical, but slowly its becoming music too me.
Anyway, as a player trying to work out of the inevitable ruts we all fall into from time to time, this was a help.
