Using chord tones will give you more notes to work with. Many players would approach say a G7 with a G minor pentatonic, which works, but it misses a crucial chord tone, the 3rd (major 3rd, B, found in the G7). (I would also miss the 9 & 13, again not found in the minor pentatonic. Who can play a blues without 6ths?) Try incorporating chord tones into your playing, (particularly targeting the 3rds & 7ths) you'll love the sound, and never go back. Hope this helps.

2nd: Jazz players often use large intervals, & arpeggios, and phrases centered around chord tones (the 3 & 7, 5, also 9 & 13) to outline the chord changes, which can be heard in their lines wheres a one scale or pentatonic approach may sound good, it would not imply the changes. Playing diatonically, targeting the chord tones of the chords throughout the progression, will imply those changes.There is another advantage to learn to play diatonically:

Diatonic means to play targeting the tones in the chord, as well as a to play scales that include the chord tones. 2 Examples:1st: Mixolydian: Works well around 7 chord because it contains both the major 3rd and dominant 7th found in a 7th chord. Playing the scale will sound more melodic, however:

Pentatonic has only 5 notes, hence the penta(5) tonic(sound) while myxolydian hast 7 notes so ofcourse using myx will make your playing sound fuller and more melodic.My issue with these instructions is that they use terms but don't explain what that means. WTF is diatonic after all and why is that term important? IMHO, it is a useless term that adds confusion.
