Harmonic Highlights

  • Frequent use of tritone substitutions (e.g., Ab7 to G7, Gb7 to F7) provides chromatic voice leading and tension-release toward secondary dominants.
  • Movement through cascading ii-V sequences, specifically shifting between the G minor tonic (Am7b5โ€“D7b9) and the subdominant C minor area (Dm7b5โ€“G7b9).
  • Integration of extended dominant chains (G7โ€“C7โ€“F7โ€“Bb7) creating a sophisticated bridge between the minor tonic and the relative major (Ebmaj7).

Improvisation Focus G Minor Bebop Scale and Tritone Substitution logic.

Difficulty Rating 3/5. The rapid chromatic shifts and frequent secondary dominants require a firm grasp of substitute harmony beyond basic minor blues structures.
