Narrative:

Taxied for takeoff runway 30 at lgb. Cleared runway 30 via txwys C, left, hold short of runway 25L, I asked controller if he wanted us to move out of the way of another aircraft as we had a flow control time. Controller said he'd take us across runway 30 to taxiway D for that purpose. Just before we got to taxiway left, I received clearance to hold short of runway 30 at taxiway L3. I was anticipating crossing runway 30 but had missed the half left onto taxiway left in that confusing area where txwys C, J, and left meet. First officer queried taxiing instructions and I sensed that I was out of position and stopped short of runway 30, but possibly past the hold short line on runway 30. I then saw a B757 aircraft on runway 30 with his speed brakes up aborting. Do not think I heard instructions to stop until after we had stopped, but we were on ground control frequency.
