I actually did the fretboard workbook you mentionned a year and half ago, so thats why you find "my method" similar ;) It really helped me a lot. I have the chord tone soloing book too that I just didnt find the time to read/practice yet but I'm groing impatient of opening it lol :)

Hmmm, thinking about it....what a lame excuse... I have no time pfff. Shame on me! Ok here I go ..... MI's Chord tone soloing by Barrett Tagliarino...page 1.
