At your level, do you still deconstruct chords in your head and hunt only for one chord tone around the neck while you solo? Or do you rather visualize chord/arpeggio shapes around the neck? In this course, at first you propose figuring out notes of every chord in the progression, then finding on the fingerboard one chord tone at the time to target it. It demands automatic knowledge of note names on the neck + automatic ability to figure out names of notes for every chord. All on the fly. I'm up for the task of practicing it, but it seems overwhelmingly hard to develop. CAGED guys propose learning arps around 5 octave shapes. Tim Pierce seems to navigate the fretboard mainly by seeing shapes of 3 note triads around the place that he solos. It seems like the laser-sight ability to point out every chord note on the neck one by one is a harder skill to develop, than learning 1-3-5 or 1-3-5-7 shapes around the neck to target them. I'm not sure if old school classic rock guitar heroes, that played chord tone solos, were able to deconstruct every chord on the neck note by note like jazz guys or classically educated musicians can. I think they went by shapes.
It comes down to the dichotomy between chord tones and discordant tones knowing that discordant tones should be "resolved" into chord tones... If you can do that while following the progression of chord changes then you are good. Right Maso...? Ultimately, as a guitarist you have to find a way to do that without thinking about it...! Otherwise, the left side of your brain and the right side of your brain will begin to feel something like it's going through a divorce procedure.

Hi Tommaso! Your link don't recognize my e-mail. I don't know why!!
It says that I have an invalid email when it's not.
No problem. Send me an email at tommaso@musictheoryforguitar.com and I will take care of it.
I made a new account. Thankyou for replying.
Isn't this why chord shape soloing (CAGED) is helpful?
Shapes, yes. CAGED specifically, not so much.
