Harmonic Highlights

  • Employs a “quick-to-IV” motion in measure 2 followed by a ii-V (Cm7-F7) in measure 4 to target the subdominant arrival.
  • Includes a B°7 (#IVdim7) passing chord in measure 6, providing chromatic voice leading from Bb7 back to the F7 tonic.
  • Substitutes the standard blues turnaround with a sophisticated vi-II-ii-V cycle (Am7-D7-Gm7-C7) to increase harmonic density.

Improvisation Focus The F Bebop Dominant scale (F-G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-E-F).

Difficulty Rating 3/5 — While the blues structure is foundational, the fast bebop tempo and frequent ii-V substitutions require high technical agility and precise harmonic targeting.
