Intermediate Jazz Workouts 1 in F – mDecks Music
An intermediate jazz workout in F that guides you through 3-pass practice of 251 voicings, dominant-scale choices, and simple improvisation.
This lesson leads you through a structured three-pass workout: first playing voice-led voicings for the 2-5-1 with a V-of-II ending, then practicing scale choices for each dominant variation (regular, augmented, b9, natural 13), and finally improvising simple lines from those chord scales. It includes practical discussion on chord labeling and tensions—when to assume extensions, how to interpret altered symbols, and why whole-tone and half-whole scales work for certain dominants. The material emphasizes how to target the F major 7 resolution and offers real-world substitution strategies (e.g., replacing b9 with #9, using #11 to avoid clashes). This lesson is part of a complete 12-week intermediate program with PDFs and demos available on Patreon and mDecks.
