Most important thing to practice for improvising

I see so many posts about improvising and how to not sound like you're noodling or just playing scales or arpeggios, etc. The list goes on and on. The single most important thing to do is transcribe. Start with players know for their simple style. Heck - start with non-guitar players. Learn a Miles solo. Chet Baker. Those guys are great for their simplicity. Wes as well. Then move up to more complex players. Still too hard? Learn it from someone who's already transcribed it. Whether it's sheet music, tab, or a YouTube lesson. But have the goal of memorizing it in the end. Music is a language and you won't learn it without copying others. Same way you learned English.
