- Modal Stasis: The initial Gm7 to F/G movement establishes a G Dorian foundation, creating a suspended, atmospheric quality before shifting into functional harmony.
- Relative Major Pivot: The progression utilizes a standard ii-V-I (Cm7 - F7 - Bbmaj7) to modulate from the tonic G minor to its relative major, Bb.
- Chromatic Subdominants: The Em7b5 to Ebm6 sequence demonstrates a sophisticated #iv-iv-i movement, a signature Brazilian harmonic device for smooth voice leading back to the tonic.
- Secondary Dominants: The Bb7 acts as a V/IV, momentarily destabilizing the Bb major center to prepare for subdominant-functioning chords.
Improvisation Focus G Dorian and G Minor Blues scales.
Difficulty Rating 3/5 – The repetitive modal vamping is beginner-friendly, but the chromatic subdominant shifts and quick ii-V turnarounds require intermediate knowledge of voice leading.
