    Great lesson, Eric! The corner of the guitar universe you're talking about is indeed the place we all seek to be - it's the key to truly making music, rather than repeating memorized riffs. If you're a solo player that wants to sound like a band, it's a necessity. Your walk through the fundamentals to get us seeing how to run like pros is a revelation. A shout out to Wes Montgomery, who's use of the octave interval taught all the Pentatonic rockers how to put sparkle in a lead line.
