- Sequential ii-V motion: The progression utilizes descending ii-V cells (Bbm7-Eb7, Abm7-Db7, F#m7-B7), cycling through temporary tonal centers a whole step apart.
- Tonal anchoring: Despite the rapid movement, the frequent return to F#m7-B7 reinforces B major as the primary destination through a repetitive ii-V-I framework.
- Harmonic extension: The B7#11 chord introduces Lydian Dominant color, functioning as a pivot point that bridges the complex modulations back to the home key.
Improvisation Focus Digital patterns (1-2-3-5) and voice-led guide tones to navigate rapid ii-V transitions.
Difficulty Rating 4. The high-speed harmonic rhythm and constant modulation demand advanced mental agility and precise melodic cell transposition.
