Has anyone read bob's chronicles volume one? In the "oh mercy" chapter, he goes on for like 5 pages about this guitar technique that Lonnie Johnson showed him back in the sixties. He even says that this technique would allow him to play his music in a way that nobody else played and he even thought of it as a "new form of music".

Anyone have any idea about what he's talking about?

He says "it's a highly controlled system of playing and related to the notes of a scale,
how they combine numerically, how they form melodies out of triplets and are axiomatic to the rhythm and chord changes."
