 clarinetistic vs. guitaristic

The great jazz guitarist Joe Pass has an insruction book that suggests a "guitaristic" approach to soloing--- looking at the shapes of various chord forms on the guitar neck and using the notes contained in these chord forms to construct solos. This avoids an over analytical approach to soloing (ie, "I'll use a melodic minor run over these chords.")
However, I'm having trouble seeing how to apply this approach to the clarinet. It seems to me that clarinetists are conscious of every note that they play, and would have difficult seeing the notes they are playing within the pattern of a chord shape. Whereas
I can easily play a blues scale "pattern" anywhere on the guitar neck by memorizing its "shape," on the clarinet I consciously see C, Eb, F, F#, G, Bb, C. Could anyone enlighten me as to how to apply Joe Pass's above thinking to clarinet soloing? Thanks!!!!
