Shawn Lane used this kind of lateral movement. You can find the starting point for each 3nps pattern easier by tracing the triad across 3 strings. Think piano voicings (stacked 3rds) like Dweezil plays at 3:19 (fig 6). They run up the whole neck because every new position is essentially the next chord in the key, (if you're thinking diatonic...although this would throw up some crazy stuff in melodic minor for example!). The 3 note permutations is a cool idea for breaking up the sequences to stop them sounding like cliche run patterns. Dweezil thinks out of the box and I dig that.
I saw Mr. Zappa play for the second time, just lately. He's sounding good. You should go see him if you get the chance. I hope he and his gang all lives long and prospers.
Hey dz , love your videos , great ideas , the problem I see with most players out there is they are so concerned with speed than melodic ideas , so consequently they just sound like they are running through scales at high speed , I have seen your father many times and was absolutely amazed at the blazing speed in his playing , but when he did that he didn’t just run scales , everything he played was all about melodic phrasing whether or not he played fast or slow , honestly , every time I came home from a Frank Zappa concert , I really wanted to smash my guitars and give up , because franks playing seemed to be at such a high level , it just seemed an impossibility to get to that level from where I was at , and I was very good , but Franks playing was light years ahead of mine , so keep doing the videos , they give clues into franks playing , which I love , thanks
Thank you Dweezil for a new perspective on the guitar neck. This is new to me, sounds cool!

Another simple idea with big ramifications guitaristically. Thank you!
Thank you sir. Totally new perspective for me.
Great concept and a great player
Awesome.
Thx bro I’ll try this

Nice, THX !
Great video, this is going to help me massively. Are the diagrams mentioned still available online? 🤙🏻
Thx bud!
Thanks, that’s a can of worms I need to open.
