what exactly is it? how do you do it?
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

you play some "smooth-fluid-slinky" sounding notes that all seem to smooth between eachother...

use a lot of slides and hammer-on's and pull-off's
all in a row.......
used alot in solo's
im trying to remember when it was used in like a riff-situation...thinking back to pearl jam's "TEN"...
was that little riff in "once" ( i think that was it )

"deedly-deeedle,deedly deeeedle...deeedle"....
kind of a hammer on-pull off-slide thing up the d string
starting on the 5th fret...hammer on 7th...
slide up to like the 10th...etc....

anyone remember that one?
i THINK it was 'once'...but am not sure..

play it smoothly and slowly and accurately...with a metronome....when you get better...crisper cleaner smoother...crank up the metronome...leetle by leetle..
