Hi, I've never heard of this workflow and my demos use a single instance for leads. So it is not necessary to do this method you lay out. It simply takes an understanding of how guitar players play melodies, and working that into pitch bend and mod wheel for vibrato (or aftertouch if you prefer).
Well don’t then, I played guitar as a kid and bending the B String into the E string to match pitches is a rock trick. Not necessary unless you are emulating such styles like Nugent, Sabbath, Richie Blackmore, etc.
Straight no chaser leads work for DiMeola/Howe type leads.
Sorry, I’m speaking from an era wher I played Guitar.
