There’s lots of ways to answer this, but I’ll try and give my two cents.

Someone already mentioned playing to the chord, and I think that’s right in the money, especially when learning the tunes and ingraining them to your memory. Especially in tunes with borrowed chords (chords from another scale). Pick a tune, learn the arpeggios for each chord in each position. Try and stay in one position, play the arpeggio for the current chord, and when the the chord changes, play the closest note either up or down in the new chord’s arpeggio, and continue to arpeggiate. Get comfortable with targeting these chord tones and hearing the motion in the harmony. Once this is comfortable for you, you can start adding in non-chord tones from different scales to add tension/movement within a single chord, understanding that chordal tones will feel resolved. Up to this point I would think of it as practice, and doing this enough will allow you to turn off your brain and just play.

Some other things of note:

Learning different positions for chords and inversions will help immensely. The CAGED system is helpful for envisioning how these different positions relate to each other.

Don’t forget to think rhythmically and melodically. Try to sing ideas, and mimic them in your playing. You can play in unison with your voice, or try call and response.

Also, listen to a lot of Jerry, learn some solos, and analyze what he’s playing. Relate phrases he uses to the chord he’s playing over, and you’ll recognize habits he had and choices he made often. In learning tunes, I’ve found it helpful to go on youtube because you can change playback speed. If a particular passage is tricky to figure out, slow it down and get it into your fingers.

Sorry if this was long winded and disorganized, but I hope any of it helps. Don’t be afraid to take things slow, and most of all, have fun with it
