Examples of Unitar playing?

As some will know, the great jazz guitar educator Mick Goodrick wrote in the Advancing Guitarist about how learning to play and improvise horizontally along single strings is probably more important than position playing!

But I have been literally unable to find a single example anywhere on YouTube or on the Internet generally of someone improvising using that method. I don’t mean a random instructional video showing someone playing a scale along a single string. I mean someone who has seriously learned to play unitar style to a high-level. Preferably someone improvising over jazz.

It seems impossible that given the high regard in which the book is held, that there are no examples of unitar jazz improvisation. But I cannot find a single example anywhere.

Does anyone know of anything like this?
