Harmonic Highlights

  • Utilizes a classic 12-bar minor blues framework, revolving around the i-iv-i (Cm7-Fm7-Cm7) progression.
  • Employs a bVI7 (Ab7) to V7 (G7) turnaround in bars 9 and 10, creating a strong chromatic pull toward the tonic.
  • Features a static harmonic rhythm in the first four bars, providing a stable foundation for melodic development in C minor.

Improvisation Focus C Minor Blues Scale (C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb).

Difficulty Rating 2/5. The predictable 12-bar structure and standard minor cadences make it highly accessible for players developing their blues vocabulary.
