Harmonic Highlights

  • Chromatic Dominant Descent: Employs a parallel sequence (G7โ€“Fโ™ฏ7โ€“F7โ€“E7) to bridge the tonic area to the VI7 chord, utilizing smooth half-step voice leading.
  • Circle of Fifths Resolution: Features a robust VI7โ€“II7โ€“V7โ€“I (E7โ€“A7โ€“D7โ€“G) turnaround, characteristic of early 20th-century swing and vaudeville structures.
  • Tonic Prolongation: Incorporates diatonic substitutions like Em7 (vi) and G/D to maintain harmonic interest while remaining firmly anchored in the G Major key center.

Improvisation Focus G Major Blues Scale (blending the major 3rd and minor 3rd to navigate the shift between the tonic and the secondary dominant chords).

Difficulty Rating 2/5 โ€” The predictable circle-of-fifths movement and repetitive 32-bar structure make it an accessible entry point for learning secondary dominants.
