Turns out they are heavyweight classical Russian cellists that just do this to blow peoples minds.
And probably get chicks.

Marcus Miller Talks About Miles
From 1998. A new video of Marcus discussing Miles and what he learned from him.
He talks about how he started playing with Miles and how that led him into producing.
He also says Miles was working with Eazy-E right before he died. Yow.

Triad Palooza - Diatonic Triad Variations
Here is a fun little set of exercises to keep you busy for, oh, the next 3 or 4 years or so.
It takes all the triads that are in the key of C Major and runs some ascending, descending and mixed (up and down) arpeggio patterns. Some patterns are "close position" meaning the notes are all within one octave, and some are "open" where they span more than one octave.
The patterns are as low as possible on the neck and they are guaranteed to be playable on a standard tuned 4 string. You can extend the patterns by playing them in higher octaves if you want and if you have a 5 or a 6 string you can move them around as appropriate.
The patterns outline each chord that appears naturally in C Major, so - C maj, D min, E min, F maj, G maj, A min and B dim. The patterns don't all start on just the root of the chord, they also start from the 3rd and the 5th too. "Inversions" for those theory showoffs in the crowd.

Willis and his Roland Guitar Synth
I am blown away at how good that thing tracks, but it is also a testament to Mr. Willis's mucho ridiculoso intonation on his fretless. That can't be easy.

Damian Erskine on Arpeggios
Damian says knowing how to play arpeggios in all the inversions is a good thing.
If you were wondering how to use the Transmogrifier to connect and join chords, check out Damian breaking it down in this video.

Damian Erskine on Chord Scales - Part II
Damian Erskine has done some lessons discussing how to create and determine chord scales based on a chord progression. He uses the Miles Davis tune "Blue In Green" as an example and breaks it all down chord by chord. Good stuff.

Another Transmogrifier Update
No more frames, now it is all one page, and it reminds you what 4 notes you used, just in case looking up .034 degrees to see the drop downs that have the notes in them was too taxing.
That is all.
Checked it in FireFox 4 and Safari and it works. IE8x mileage may vary.

Happy B-Day Ray Riendeau
Ray does some crazy slapping all-righty. But he does it in a very musical way. In this video he breaks down how to play triads and other arpeggios with his techniques, and he doesn't just do it E Minor either!
Rumor has it he has an instructional DVD coming out...
Happy B-Day Ray, and thanks for being willing to share what you know with all of us.
Pollici de' Ridiculoso!
He takes THAT and turns it into THIS:
