So maybe your ear training is on point. You can hear intervals, chords, and even chord progressions. Your ears must be good. In theory, you should be able to shred some awesome solos, right? Not so fast.
At the end of the day, we need to train our ear to instrument connection as well. It's great to be able to hear these fundamentals, but you also need to be able to put that stuff to musical use.
In this video I go over 3 ways you can connect your ears to your instrument.

What is helping immensely: Train your ears and voice. Imagine the tone before you sing the note. This is the strongest connection to the inner ear, before connecting ear with instrument

My main thing for ear/instrument connection is learning to sing any lines I cop from records and singing along with my solos.

This might sound a bit outside. I play sax but for many years I have played rock guitar. I used this to figure a wide range of stuff by ear. If you hear for example some bach or some sax or anything. Imagine how that would sound on your instrument. The interesting part is to imagine well known songs on different ones. For example take autumn leaves. It's easy to imagine how it would sound on a trumpet, a sax or a piano. But how would it sound on a violin an acordian or a harmonica. It's a fun mental game. It also allows you to explore a diversity of phrasing possibilities.

When I was young I was listening to Tom bones Malone Solo in The Blues Brothers Sweet Home Chicago. Tom hit a great note inbar 9 of a 12 Bar Blues and I had to find out what that note was. There was a major nine. A few years later I took a jazz improvisation class and the teacher taught us the blues scale and said never play the 9th note in the scale. Of course I had to raise my hand and said what about the 9th bar. Is generally going to be the second cord or 5th card which the major 9th note fits.

a blues scale does not contain a 9th, but many licks which use the blues scale do contain 9ths. folks get confused thinking that scales are equivalent to music, but a lot of the best lines don't come from just one scale. and fyi: major 9ths usually sound good over every chord in a blues with the possible exception of the V chord.

That teacher sounds too academic. Charlie Parker played lots of 9ths in blues or other solos. I noticed he often ended a line on an unaltered ninth (one whole step above the root or octave) voiced low relative to the chord voicing. I like to do that, plus get to the unaltered ninth by starting with a grace note a half step lower, especially in the higher registers. rillloudmother is certainly right when he recognizes that scales do not equal music. In a major key, one can usually use the unaltered ninth against the I, II, IV, V, and VI chords (in C major those fundamental seventh chords would be Cmaj7, Dm7, Fmaj7, G7, and Am7). By the way, when jazz style players play a 12-bar blues, they rarely stick with just the blues scale. The extra chord changes they play require other notes (or scales, or arpeggios, or however one wishes to conceptualize these other notes).

In answering his last question about how I learn phrases or songs, I just play over them in real time so I can hear if the resonance is on or off and then I''ll try to make the adjustments to match what I'm hearing. If I'm on, I can usually feel that little buzz feeling as the notes match or I'll let a phase go by and immediately try to repeat it before the next phrase starts. In this example, I'm trying to learn what Stevie Wonder is playing on his harmonica by trying to match it with mine, occasionally improvising if I fall off, I'm also adding other stuff that I hear in the instrumental to kind of mask my mistakes. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aspdgsp2zLS8o40.html
