It's not rocket science, just harmonize those scales in 3rds and 4ths (6ths are nice too) and practice them. And see the attached files on chord patterns I wrote - I'm half way to a book.
No, Joe had said in a number of interviews that he broke his picks to make them smaller, he said it was just a habit he developed.
"it would be hard to top Randy Vincent's A Cellular Approach." Sounds like a molecular biology textbook.... I guess everyone knows that Randy was Julian Lage's teacher? Both were Sonoma County, CA...
