- Standard ii-V-I cycles in G Major establish the primary tonal foundation before exploring more distant harmonic territories.
- The transition from F7 to Emaj7 represents a sophisticated non-diatonic pivot, shifting the tonal center abruptly via chromatic side-slipping.
- The sequence C#m7-F#m7-B7b9 introduces a temporary E Major/Minor tonality, utilizing the B7b9 to create a strong functional resolution.
- Altered dominants such as D7#5 provide crucial chromatic voice leading to resolve tension back to the Gmaj7 tonic.
Improvisation Focus Guide-tone voice leading to navigate major-to-minor modal shifts.
