Yeah, Guitar Player had a reprint magazine in the 80s called 'Hot Licks' that showed excerpts from past lessons and transcriptions.
Chet had a thing he called a 'superlick' that was a sweep with fingers and thumbpick. I believe the article was from the 70s, predating Yogi Maelstrom by several years.

Some very cool playing there! I wouldn't be surprised if Chet picked that up from Les Paul...he was sweeping back in the 50's and they used to play together.
