I am currently learning from an excellent instructor and have seen it demonstrated you can literally “solo” over the backing track while playing the pentatonic scale note for note in sequence! It’s not about fancy riffs and note sequences, the secret lies in the rhythm you use while playing the scale and giving the notes your personal feel. The rhythm should match the song’s rhythm.

This is before you add any fancy embellishments (pull offs, hammer ons or bends), it will sound amazing. You might add a bit of vibrato. This is why Tony has us playing the scale with the backing track. If done correctly it makes a beautiful solo by itself.
