I see rock and blues musicans do it all the time. When my friend (who’s a classical pianist) improvises, it’s usually because she messed up. She repeats a line several times and calls it improvising, which it is, in a way.
When I mess up and improvise in rock and blues, I pick up the scale and add my own licks into a song.
