I was recently watching an interview with Bela Fleck and he was talking about melodic style finger rolls, where you play the scales as rolls. Does anyone know of anything similiar for guitar playing? |

You can do it on the guitar, but it's much easier on a banjo because of the open tunings. You could just tune your guitar to an open tuning, but in standard it's a little difficult as it requires big streches. You mainly just want to think of it as creating harmony between open and fretted strings. Check out this "harp scale" transcribed for the guitar:
key of D
e--------------------------------------0-----3-
B-----------------------------0-----3-----7----
G-----------------------0--------6-------------
D-------------0------4-----7-------------------
A----0-----4------7----------------------------
E-3-----7--------------------------------------
key of G
e------------------------------------0-----3--
B----------------------------0-----3----7-----
G----------------------0--------5-------------
D-------------0-----4-----7-------------------
A----0-----3-----7----------------------------
E-3-----7-------------------------------------
Notice that these are just major scales, but played in a slightly diffrent way.
