Harmonic Highlights:

  • Extended Cmaj7 functions as a non-diatonic modal center, establishing an initial Lydian or Ionian tonality outside of G minor.
  • Ab7sus introduces a stable bII7sus sonority, acting as a modal color or a tritone substitute variant without direct functional resolution.
  • The D and Ebmaj7/D alternation creates a D Phrygian Dominant sound over a pedal point, serving as the characteristic V chord of G minor with its distinctive b2.

Improvisation Focus: Modal improvisation, emphasizing specific scales for each extended chord segment.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) - Requires a strong understanding of modal-specific scales and how to navigate extended non-functional harmonies.
