Harmonic Highlights:

  • Establishes a relaxed opening with stable I (Fmaj7) and IV (Bb69) chord alternation.
  • Employs clear II-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7) as primary harmonic anchors.
  • Features effective use of secondary dominants (E7 to Am, D13/D9 to Gm) to expand functional harmony.
  • Incorporates chromatic voice leading and tension, notably in the Am-Am6-Am7-D13b9 sequence.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating II-V-I progressions and their secondary dominants, utilizing appropriate chord-scales including altered dominants.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The changes are primarily functional but include several secondary dominants and altered chords requiring specific scale choices beyond basic diatonic playing.
