Harmonic Highlights
- Prominent use of the bVI7 chord (Ab7) creating a distinct bluesy, chromatic tension against the C major tonic.
- Strong functional dominant cycle demonstrated by A7 (V7/Dm) -> D7 (V7/G) -> G7 (V7/C) leading back to the tonic.
- The C#dim7 (C07) functions as a chromatic passing diminished chord, intensifying the progression towards the Dm7 (ii) chord.
Improvisation Focus Outlining chord tones to articulate the strong functional dominant progressions, complemented by the C Blues scale for chromatic color.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The blend of diatonic, blues, and advanced chromatic substitutions (bVI7, C#dim7) requires precise harmonic awareness.
