Yes, of course ... it works especially well over tunes that use a lot of outside chords. With the blues, you can always resort to the 'blues scale' but once you move away from the 12 bar kind of thing, that scale will not be very useful. I always found scales to be very limiting, which is why I stopped using them for melodic improvisation ... consciously, anyway.
If you look at
the other chord tone lesson, you'll see how harmony emerges naturally from the chord progression if you know how to zero in on the chord tones. This applies to any chord progression, any style of music, no matter how convoluted it may be.
