Great article John. As always!. But let me share an opinion about something. I do not know at what level you were when your guitar teacher reacted like this, but I believe that, in order to improvise, you need first learn the basics and then master a song. This is the moment that you are able to alter what you know and show you character and fantasia to a song. So to improvise. Maybe this is why your teacher acted like this. "Relax kid, first learn the song and then do what you want". This is more a speculation because otherwise what teacher he is when he doesn't let you feel free. Maybe he didn't have all the skills to become a top teacher 😜
