Finally it clicked when I learned this - targeting on guitar

Each step of the pentatonic scale has a different personality. A different color, so to speak. And what if you know you want a certain sound at a particular moment in a solo? You’d have to know where that scale degree is in relation to the chord. Certain tones are featured by certain guitar players – each with their own affinity for either roots, or thirds, or 7ths -- tones that at some point became “their style, their sound.” There’s a method for guitar, we call it targeting. *Get hundreds more guitar lessons from our Patreon group.
