I mentioned this already, many times when you are showing what lines to play over a specific chord for example you might play a Melodic minor line over a static chord. But you will play a long flowing line up and down the neck without stopping.... I would love even if its just a PDF of that material, you do that a lot for Dorian and all the other types of material you show. You play a long flowing line of material up and down the neck.....
That stuff is all over the PDF's, I'm just stringing them together to make longer lines out of them. If you learn any of the PDF's by heart you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. One of my favorites is Dominant Chord Study.

Had a feeling you would say that lol I was actually doing that today with fm7 lines from chord scale relationship PDF
thanks
Ken
I’m really glad to hear that Ken!
Basically as of February 19th 2018 I told myself I was just going to concentrate on your lessons and not get pulled in every direction by all the info via YouTube and many other sites. I can say in just 2 months I've made tremendous progress especially in comping and using the voicing you use.they sound so much better then the vanilla ones I used. I'm also able to see a little of how you add chord movement. I have the etude for another you memorized and the cool thing is I'm starting mix up all different way so I'm making it my own in way!!!! My improv is definitely lagging
Stick with it Ken! Keep listening and play with people as often as you can!
Will do
Ken- I can totally relate. What Barry said is spot on. Just deal with the PDF's and anything you can pick up that's not transcribed and play it until you are sick of it. All improvisers have a set of stock material that shows up all over the place. The more advanced, the more material. The clever part is being able to use it in lines to where only the most trained ears can recognize it.
My fear of transcribing a player too much was always becoming a "clone". At this point, I'm 50 years old and I don't care anymore. I think Pat Metheny once said that he transcribed so much Wes that he sounded exactly like him. We know he sounds very little like Wes these days. If I can cop Barry's licks note for note and be able to use them in solo's, and supplement with other lines that I learn elsewhere, I'm confident that over time it will morph into something of my own.
I think many of us get hung up on the material Barry plays that isn't transcribed and want more, when sometimes a deeper dive into what is there will get us to the same place. (with me, I can figure out the lines, it's the comping that gets me .... "what the hell chord was that he just played??")
