Harmonic Highlights

  • The Fm6/D chord introduces a distinct modal color, functioning as a D half-diminished quality (Dø7) often resolving to iv minor, adding a Dorian or ambiguous feel.
  • Frequent inversions of the tonic Cm (Cm/Eb, Cm/G) provide rich bass movement and harmonic fluidity within tonic sections.
  • The Ab7 (bVI7) acts as a blues-inflected pre-dominant, leading chromatically to the G7b9 (V7b9), creating a signature minor-key dominant approach to the tonic.

Improvisation Focus C Harmonic Minor scale.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The specific voicings and non-diatonic dominant functions require a sophisticated understanding of minor-key harmony and blues inflections.
