Exacta. Finally you got it right.
If you read my definition of "streams", you would notice it. Seems, you want to rush through things quickly. -_-
*sigh* Note that, this training is going to be very useful to you in the future. I know you want to finish the jutsus quickly and use them in battle, but if you reply with no interest, and no effort, then it will take more time for you to finish them.
Anyway, let me lay down the adv/disadv and the summary of the method.

All clear? Raiton is a little different from the rest. For current to flow, it requires a specific medium, and using the same logic as streams, you need to maintain focus on your chakra for sustaining the technique. That's what the quote says in general. Any questions?Method 2: Currents/Wide Spread
The techniques in this next method all adhere to constant waves or currents of lightning, meaning you're constantly placing chakra into the technique as opposed to projectiles where you gather all your chakra and then release it all in one/several condensed shots. This is where the element gets into the real conductive nature of Lightning. In gathering your chakra for these techniques you will start like you would any other technique, you gather the fixed amount of chakra in the point of release. However, instead of releasing it in a confined condensed projectile you release a constant flow of lightning from the point of release and, generally through a medium like the ground, a weapon, or an object. You will not be releasing your chakra all at once, it will be flowing out of you from the point of release in a steady manor until the chakra you've built up for the technique is gone. Since you're focusing less on condensing the chakra and more on spreading it out to cover a wider range, this takes away from force and piercing ability and you get more of the electrocution properties. The techniques in this method are more so designed to have that stunning and overloading the body with lightning.
Advantages of Method
Unlike projectiles, currents remain within the control of the user rather the all control of it being lost on release. Due to them being a continuous expulsion of chakra, the user maintains control of the technique throughout its entire use. Since the user maintains this control it enables Raiton to be used much more for defensive and supplementary reasons, rather than offense alone which is usually the initial misconception. The user following their chakra allows for them to construct armours, enhance weapons and use raiton directly from their body to electrocute anyone in the immediate vicinity of the user. Continuous expulsion of chakra allows for techniques to last far longer than projectiles since the total amount of released Raiton chakra has to equal to that of the technique's rank.
Disadvantages of Method
Disadvantages are, whilst using a specific jutsu, due to that specific jutsu requiring a continuous release of chakra, a new technique can't be used until the 1st is finished. This becomes a problem for weapon enhancing jutsu, which will cease to be useful the moment the chakra flow to the weapon is removed to perform another jutsu. The final disadvantage to this method would have to be, that to flow a current, most jutsu require a medium of some sort. Flowing a current would need the user to use the ground as a way of conducting it, Nagashi requires a continuous release from the user's body and Wave of inspiration requires a body of water to be conducted along
