Harmonic Highlights:

  • Characteristic bVIImaj7 (Dbmaj7) movement from the tonic Ebmaj7, creating a lush, non-functional chromatic shift.
  • Strong tonicization of C major (bVI) via a Cmaj7 leading into a ii-V-I (Am9-Dm9-G13) progression.
  • Sophisticated major-to-parallel-minor-major 7 shift (Abmaj7 to Abm/maj7), adding a melancholic harmonic color.
  • Intriguing chromatic tension created by the movement from Gm (iii) to Ebm6, a borrowed bVI minor 6 chord.

Improvisation Focus: Melodic Minor scale and its modes for navigating complex chord qualities and rapid modulations.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The frequent non-diatonic movements and sophisticated harmonic devices require advanced understanding and quick adaptation.
