Harmonic Highlights:

  • Repeated iim7b5-V7b9-im7 progression consistently establishes and reinforces the G minor tonic.
  • A prolonged C7sus chord creates an extended section of static dominant harmony, temporarily pulling away from the G minor tonality.
  • The C7sus, functioning as a IV7sus chord in G minor (or V7sus of F), surprisingly resolves back to the G minor ii-V instead of its expected F resolution.
  • The D7b9 dominant frequently reinforces the minor quality of the tonic resolution.

Improvisation Focus: G minor scales (Dorian, Harmonic, Natural) and C Mixolydian.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). While the minor ii-V-i is standard, the extended C7sus section requires specific harmonic awareness and navigation beyond basic diatonic playing.
