Harmonic Highlights:

  • Employs non-diatonic major 7th chords like Ebmaj7 and Dbmaj7/Eb around the bVI of G minor, creating rich modal color.
  • Features frequent tonicization of C minor (iv chord in G minor) through ii-V-i progressions (Dm7b5-G7b9-Cm7).
  • Navigates a clear modulation to the parallel major (Gmaj7) via a ii-V (Am7-D7), providing significant harmonic contrast.
  • Incorporates an Abmaj7#11, adding a distinct Lydian #11 sound to the progression.

Improvisation Focus: Melodic minor scales and their various modes for navigating altered dominants and major #11 chords.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) Requires advanced harmonic understanding to navigate frequent modulations, altered dominants, and non-diatonic chord movements.
