i understand harmony and arpegios and stuff but im confused on rhytmic phrasing and target note control id like to land on certain notes on certain beats play around with upbeats and downbeats and use chromatism for like a note on a certain beat im not sure how to explain it i want kinda of like a groove and because my solo sounds like a excersise a bit

i can understand that intervals have different color on what chord is being played but what im confused how can i approach it that target note and i also want a melody too as well

i am kinda new to the genre but ive had alot of people tell me to listen to a bunch a songs but do i just try to transcribe them or figure out what they play i am confused a bit
