Was looking at other stuff (Fuzz pedal tones in search of the ideal 1960's fuzz tone), and for some reason as YT logarithms will, this popped up.

Here's a timed link to her comment I found relevant to where I currently am too.

Part 2 here might also interest or be of use to you. From her narrative, I suspect Rachel arrived at awaress of it through the CAGED method. For me, the key opening that door were the minor pentatonic patterns and linking them together which I started and persisted with very early prior to approaching CAGED.

All the best.
