ive met other ppl who play instruments with that same problem too, they know how to emulate existing songs perfectly but can't improvise something on the spot in a jam.
I've spent years in front of a tv picking up soundtracks or commercials, whatever's on at the moment, and it carries over into my music. Usually, I can play any tune (within reason) within about 5-10 minutes. In fact, when I think about it, all my tunes on my albums are improvisation when you get down to brass tacks. I hit record and go, not really knowing where I'll end up. Most are one-takes and done. One of my music oriented friends calls me "Mr. One-And-Done".

Ok, enough of my self absorbed ego stroking, but if you'd like to hear what I'm talking about:

Home - Planktons Odyssey

I'd recommend Krill, or Whale in the 'Albums' section.

Ok, now I'm done. Gotta go get my ride on. Peace out.
