- Non-functional root movements using major 7th chords related by minor thirds (Gmaj7 to Ebmaj7/G), establishing a “floating” Lydian texture.
- Extensive use of slash chords and pedal points (Bb/Ab, D/C, Ab/C) that prioritize upper-structure colors over traditional functional cadences.
- Shifting modal centers that transition abruptly between distantly related keys, such as G major, Eb major, and Gb major, bypassing standard ii-V-I resolutions.
Improvisation Focus Modal shifting between Lydian and Mixolydian scales.
Difficulty Rating 4/5. The lack of traditional functional harmony and the abundance of slash chords require advanced modal fluency and precise navigation of shifting tonal centers.
