Welcome to "Thinking Ahead Vol. 1," your gateway to mastering jazz improvisation by targeting chords within a progression. This course delves into fundamental concepts such as target notes, chromatic approaches, and essential tensions across various chord types, applying these techniques to five classic jazz standards: "Afternoon in Paris," "Blues for Alice," "Bouncing With Bud," "Doxy," and "Bye Bye Blackbird."
Building on "Building Your Jazz Vocabulary Vol. 1: 10 Bebop Rhythmic Words," we now shift focus to the notes—understanding their functions, selecting them wisely, and approaching them with different techniques. Each lesson features specific approaches, practical exercises, and solos crafted to navigate each song’s form effectively.
Enhance your learning with video lessons, demos, and backing tracks accessible via QR codes. Engage with call & response tracks to practice improvisation in real time. Each chapter provides flexible guidelines to construct your solos while emphasizing musicality.
Designed for musicians confident with chord arpeggios and tension labeling, this course invites you to immerse in the lessons, embrace the exercises, and let the music guide your journey through jazz improvisation. Join us for a transformative exploration of sound, harmony, and creativity.
