- The opening
Dm, Dm/maj7, Dm7sequence employs a classic minor line cliche, creating a chromatic descending bass line (D-C#-C) over the tonic. - The
G7chord functions as a non-resolving dominant or a blues IV7, adding tension before frequently returning to the Dm tonic. - A clear minor key cadence is established through the
Bbmaj7 (bVI) - Am7 (Vm7)progression, reinforcing the natural minor tonality.
Improvisation Focus: D natural minor scale.
Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) - The blend of minor line cliches and non-standard dominant resolutions requires careful melodic and harmonic navigation.
