Ok,

had another go at a simple improv using a motif development idea with a few choice notes to imply the chord changes. One chorus 12 bar blues.

Couple of note fluffs, but overall a good one take.

That sounds pretty cool, WPB. You've got some good phrasing going there - not just a bunch of run on, non-stop licks thrown in. Enjoyed listening to it. Improvising over a 12 bar progression can certainly be practiced (and improved), just like any other guitar skill.
