Something to think about...

Nice. It resonates very much with me and my progress.

Great stuff. Exactly matches my own experience - except at a higher level of course.
I was never a great fan of Aebersold's principles, and it's no surprise that Raney is talking 100% gold, easily understood, while Aebersold talks intelligently, but somewhat stiffly, as if from outside the topic, while Raney is right inside it. The body language of each of them speaks volumes too (perhaps unfairly)...

I didn't watch the whole video as I'm away from my PC and not on wifi, but it's interesting how Jimmy discusses that musical base that is built into your playing by hours of practicing and the supporting theory is drawn on by your subconscious mind to improvise.
I always felt that expanding your knowledge and the associated dexterity to play a gazillion chords up and down the neck builds a library for your subconscious creative self to draw from. I'm always telling myself to give up a half hour a day to just do chords, triads and learn a new chord every week, but I get too wrapped up in learning new tunes.

I don't approach playing with a scheme. It's a recreational release. Whatever comes out is happenstance and I'm perfectly fine with that. I've come to accept that what I know will reveal what I don't and so far that informality of playing directs and redirects all on its own as an organic progression of learning. Structure has always defeated the recreational aspect for me.
