I liked this video for the method that he uses to show the simplicity of the basic acoustic E blues scale. The acoustic E blues scale is typically what a beginning guitarist is introduced to when learning the blues. By learning to play the basic open E blues scale, you will already have down the basics for a nice riff that you can then go in and add other "blues notes" and hammer-ons/pull-offs as he demonstrates.
Practice this simple scale and then move it up the neck by barring your index finger across any fret to discover other bluesy scales and riffs.

Learn how to improvise on the piano! This is a great video tutorial on how to choose random notes and apply basic left hand chords to them to create improvised songs. Notice how he uses only one finger on the right hand each time and then concentrates on the three finger chord with the left hand to match it.
With this basic pattern in mind you can move around anywhere on the keyboard and sound great doing it! Improv doesn't have to be complicated, you just need to pick out notes and match any type of corresponding chord to it.
