actually it took me 5 years to be able to start improvising. all i could do was repeat tabs. i could slightly alter the phrasing on some lines and play with emphasis but it was still a memory trick.

then again i also didn't really play with anyone else in that time (yay rural canada!). playing with other people definitely helps develop the ability to improv, it was like a breaking a wall when it finally clicked for me, for other people it's how it's always been.

once you get it you can start applying it to any style.
