- Utilizes secondary dominants (D7 leading to Gm7) and cycle-of-fifths movements (Am7-D7-Gm7-C7) to embellish the F major tonal center.
- Features a bridge modulation to the mediant minor (A minor) via a Bm7b5 to E7b13 (ii-V) sequence, creating a stark tonal contrast.
- Employs standard I-VI-ii-V turnarounds that reinforce functional diatonicism while providing chromatic interest through dominant substitutions.
Improvisation Focus Targeting the 3rds and 7ths of secondary dominants to navigate the shifts between the F major A-sections and the A minor bridge.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic structure is predictable, relying on common ii-V patterns and a standard AABA form accessible to developing improvisers.
