  • Starts with an unexpected B7alt-Em7 progression, a V7alt-i in E minor, creating immediate chromatic departure from the stated G minor tonic.
  • Features extended sequential ii-V-I progressions (e.g., Gm7-C7-Fmaj7 leading to Bb major, then Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7 leading to Eb major), rapidly shifting temporary tonal centers.
  • Employs altered dominant chords (B7alt, G7#9) to generate tension and drive resolutions, often towards minor seventh chords (Em7, Cm7) or as functional V7s.
  • The Em7b5-Ebm6-Dm7 progression provides a chromatic path towards the dominant, adding modal color and linear motion.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapidly shifting tonal centers using melodic minor scales.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The frequent modulations, altered dominants, and non-diatonic chord movements demand sophisticated harmonic understanding and quick adaptation.
