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.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
