Harmonic Highlights:
- Prominent ii-V-I progression to B minor (C#m7 - F#7b9 - Bm) temporarily shifts the tonal center away from C major.
- Frequent use of suspended dominants (D7sus, F/G, Gsus) resolving to their respective V chords, creating a flowing and anticipatory feel.
- The opening Gmaj7, rather than G7, suggests a Lydian dominant quality or an open, non-functional V, setting an expansive mood.
Improvisation Focus: Utilizing melodic minor modes, particularly for altered dominants and navigating minor ii-V progressions.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) Frequent temporary modulations and the use of altered dominant extensions require agile harmonic understanding and melodic adaptation.
