Hey Rene,
? good one with the animals.
And speaking of the box/position playing, i don't feel there's anything wrong with it (IMO, it advances the guitar player's knowledge of certain portions of the fretboard to an intimate level). Having said that, i try to coax people more into linear+quadratic approach to the fretboard, because its great to have access to those things that your fingers know through muscle memory, which in turn allows for more focus on the phrasing and implying the right tonal perspective...and you can always break out of the boxes ?
And as you've mentioned scales & modes, i've got this book called 'Guitar Grimoire' scanned and saved on my computer and i'd be more than happy to e-mail it to you, if you're interested. Norio can vouch for how awesome this stuff is. ?
Cheers

@Rene, if you do good video lessons, I'll pay the cost of postage, packaging and the DVD to send it my way. Then I can upload it and put it here for everyone to enjoy. Let me know.
@Arjun, yep that book is cool. It simplifies the theory behind playing. It's still way over my head but I love the approach taken in it! Very cool.

Hey Norio,
Kudos on finding this lesson. Wasn't the run of the mill for me and required quite a bit of stretch. I haven't been able to nail those hammer-ons in succession though but I've only taken a couple cracks at it.

Coolios Gray ?
Just remember that Brett admits to having only one finger on the fretboard most of the time. He has small hands so stretching isn't an easy option for him.
What I'm saying is, don't feel pressurised to stretch to do this exercise. If a great player like Brett can get by without the major stretches then so can we.
It all comes down to what you're comfortable with.
