Harmonic Highlights
- The initial F7-Bb7 vamp establishes a driving, blues-funk groove, treating the tonic (Bb) as a dominant 7th, typical of the genre.
- The repeated V7 (F7) to I7 (Bb7) movement creates a hypnotic foundation built on the blues tradition.
- A sudden, striking chromatic shift occurs with Dbmaj7 (bIIImaj7), introducing a temporary modal interchange that adds color and tension.
- The Dbmaj7 to Ebadd9 progression provides a smooth ascending chromatic link before resolving back towards the dominant F7, enhancing harmonic interest.
Improvisation Focus Bb Blues Scale
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate). The repetitive blues-funk vamp is accessible, but the chromatic Dbmaj7 chord requires a specific melodic adjustment for improvisers.
