Intermediate - advanced walking tutorials

I'm starting to practice arpeggiating in unusual ways through the standard blues changes. I've made up my own exercises, basically, with phrases that don't start on the root and may or may not include a note that I wouldn't ordinarily play. I tend to avoid the seven a lot, so that's going in. Things like that. I've also taken a few pointers from some of the videos and am practicing some of this for a few minutes each day.

I am primarily needing to practice songs for upcoming shows, but I figure if I do a little of this each day it will help. Continued suggestions welcome; I seem to not be the only person benefitting from the info here. Thanks all!
