This tip comes from Tad Robinson in an interview he conducted for BluesHarmonica.com (I'm editing it right now... to release in September).

His analogy for those learning how to improvise is that of a painter... learn how to paint still life first, before trying impressionist art. In other words, copy the blues harmonica masters verbatim first, then try your own thing after time. Cool analogy.
