I think that noodling and improvisation are really the same thing. There's good improvisation and there's bad improvisation, noodling follows under the latter umbrella. Then there's structured noodling that we see in all of those overproduced prog bands where the music is nowhere interesting but it's fast and complex and blah blah blah. I call Mr. Malmsteen to the stand again.
