Thinking Ahead 2 No.1 – mDecks Music
A practical, example-driven lesson that breaks down an improvised solo over Doxy to teach essential improvisation techniques and practice exercises.
This lesson launches the Thinking Ahead series with a detailed walkthrough of a prepared solo over Doxy, using it to demonstrate target notes, chord tones, tensions, enclosures, rhythmic words, and motivic development. The PDF includes annotations highlighting pentatonic lines, altered tones, upper-structure ideas, octave displacement, and other commonly used techniques, plus exercises to internalize each concept. Backing tracks and a call-and-response practice video are provided so you can apply the ideas at different tempos and keys. Study the score and work the solo under your fingers to prepare for the rest of the series.
