Hello fellow musicians there is a book by George Russel called Lydian Chromatic Concepts. This book is one of the top books on learning to play in a modal horizontal and vertical manner, Many great players have studied this method with the want to step outside the standard understanding of chords and root based scales for soling. This book will be hard to understand if you don't already have an understanding of the scale structures of any possible key and chord: with altered parts such as flattened or sharpened structures beyond the basic key and chord structures. here are a couple of links that will give a better description. I am also curious if anybody here in Linux Land is familiar with this book,

George was a teacher at the New england Conservatory of Music for many years.
The book is also extremely expensive but worth every cent, you might find a copy in your local library. This book gives you a mathematical approach to understand music from a theoretical point of view, and will expand your soling capabilities in ways you would not have imagined, you can move beyond the average chunking.
