We're talking about harmonization of melodies, chord melody and being able to play solo guitar in a completely improvised manner. Now in order to do this obviously you need to know the melody and the chords all over the fingerboard but you also need a whole collection of arranging techniques that you know so well that you can apply them to any song at any time. Check it out...
