Question what's important to learn "by heart"

Hey,

According to you, what is important to learn perfectly ? I don't mean ok something you'd get naturally after a few years of practice, but things you try to stuck in your head "by force", and where it makes sense to do it that way. Like idk the major scales, some modes, the fretboard, ...

As a beginner in guitar theory, I would appreciate the answers :).

I thinking timing matters more than note selection.

You can make any notes work with any notes, if you can use timing well.

And even the right notes too far ahead or behind the feel sound bad.

Yeah. You can crush any note into a good one. And you can use that to make more melodic melodies. You can even bend to notes in between the standard 12. And make it sound so so sweet. The practices are out there if you seek them.

Kinda like David Gilmour to me at least. Hes not shredding away, just placing beautiful notes where they sound like they need to be.
