Improvisation is completely unrehearsed. It is where you do not play your music ie repeat in the same way EVER.

I know nothing of occasional improvisation because if you ever improvised for even a second you would never play the "same sounds". Every song becomes a basic moment to moment masterpiece and it's sort of like you sing the song on your instrument a new way every time.

I have reached states and am probably the most complex musician to ever live. Music is generally played by feeling where you travel in time expressing sounds that provoke a certain feeling over that time. But I'm pretty sure I'm the only musician to ever attain the state of taste in music, which Im positive would require improvisation. Feeling limits you to one sound a moment whereas when I was playing by taste I had multiple sounds at my disposal that conveyed a certain flavor and I was looking at flavors like icecream at a parlor.

I can't really say improvisation has ever really been done by any other than black blues musicians because if it was out there it surely would have taken over the world and they would not teach music the way they do at all. Improvisation is music mastery while people of the world are simply musicians playing rhythms. Drummers probably have attained mastery and started playing with tone/melody but I think the transition from drums to something like guitar tripped them out too heavily.
You cannot be serious.
