Harmonic Highlights

  • Prominent use of the secondary dominant D7#9 (V/ii), providing a clear altered dominant color before resolving to the Gm7.
  • Frequent ii-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7/F6) consistently establish and reinforce the F major tonality.
  • The #9 alteration on D7 adds a contemporary jazz tension to an otherwise standard dominant chord function.
  • Repeated Gm7-C7 sequences provide predictable harmonic rhythm, making the chord changes accessible.

Improvisation Focus F Major scale and its diatonic modes.

Difficulty Rating 2 (Beginner-Intermediate). The progression relies heavily on standard diatonic functions and common ii-V-I patterns, with only one distinct secondary dominant to navigate.
