felixdcat, doesn't sound stupid at all.
oki270, I agree ... the ultimate goal is to be able to play on the instrument what you hear in your head. What you hear in your head, not what a scale mode pattern or 'blues box' lets your fingers play mindlessly. That's something else. It's not a bad thing ... I just don't see that as 'improvisation'. So long as your twanging away and enjoying yourself, it's all good, but the real challenge is more than that: it's creating real melody, on the fly, to whatever set of chord changes is thrown at you.
