After learning your minor dorian scales begin to experiment with random patterns. Create your own patterns and learn them inside out in as many different key signatures as possible. Practice slowly to begin with then work up the tempos. Experiment playing different rhythms for your patterns and when possible playing with friends or recordings. Practice with your favorite jazz recordings whenever possible and expect to crawl before you can run. Sometimes long and slow notes and rhythms are more appropriate than quick and flashy ones.
Enjoy jamming!!!!
