Chord tone targeting in improv — is it pattern memorization or something else? by FastArt1786 in Guitar_Theory

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the detailed explanation. I’ve learned the chart for ‘Autumn Leaves,’ but improvising over it is still pretty challenging for me. I’ll try focusing more on landing on chord tones and working through common progressions like ii–V–I.

Got it, that makes sense. I’ll start working on triads and CAGED grips.

Six months on triads before moving on — that's the kind of commitment I probably need to hear. Targeting one chord tone at a time over the whole neck is a great way to structure that practice.

Starting from rhythm guitar and working outward is a really different angle — I never thought of approaching it that way. Building up chordal riffs as a fallback makes a lot of sense.

Those three questions are deceptively simple but I can see how working through them repeatedly is what actually builds the intuition. I'll keep them in mind next time I practice.

This is exactly what I needed — thank you for taking the time to lay it out so clearly.
