> I've read in this ng that the Garrison Fewell approach develops some of Wes's signature triad licks to implement position changes. I haven't read it myself. The Tal Farlow book also gets into multi-position playing a bit. I think practicing the gypsy arpeggios would be another entry point.

transcribing....I've found that with the advent of online videos
transcribing takes on a new aspect in that you can cop the positions
too, this makes a huge difference in getting  the right feel.

mick goodrick advocates playing along one string in his book. I find
that doing a lot of that helps me get away from positions. I think it's
an ear thing more than a visual thing.

  Also, practicing/memorizing chord/melody solos develops moving
positions, since you are forced to move a lot to get decent voice
leading. It might be a chicken/egg thing, but I suspect Wes' chord
soloing fed into his single line approach.

  Finally, I notice that many of the players who change postions
effortlessly  also hold the LH thumb mover over the edge of the
fretboard. I think it might   lessen the friction which might slow you
down when shifting. But I havent been able to keep the thumb up in my
own playing.
