Excuse me if I'm a little "Johnny-come-lately" to this subject, but can someone give a brief description of what this technique is, and does anyone know of a book or other training material that covers it? Does Shawn go over it in those out-of-print training videos?

As time goes on I get increasingly bored with the intervals to which my fingers "want" to go - but try as I might, those little !%#@!&%s just won't go anywhere else. Short of alternate tunings, a new approach would be great. A (very) old Circus (or Guitar Player?) magazine comment by Ritchie Blackmore about "stereotyped thirds" has been kind of a cautionary road sign in the back of my head since I read it, but learning unconventional intervals which still sound melodic is very difficult.
