  • Harmonic Highlights:

    • Prominent chromatic descending dominant 7ths (G7, F#7, F7, E7) create significant harmonic tension and brief, shifting tonal centers.
    • Frequent secondary dominant functions are present, such as A7 (V7/V) and E7 (V7/vi), anticipating the subsequent chords.
    • Standard II-V-I progressions (Am7-D7-G6) firmly establish and return to the G major key center.
    • The tonic G7, rather than a Gmaj7, imbues the harmony with a bluesy or dominant-tonic character.
  • Improvisation Focus: Navigating the chromatic descending dominant 7ths using appropriate Mixolydian and Altered scales, emphasizing chord tones and guide tones for smooth transitions.

  • Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The rapid chromatic dominant 7th changes demand quick harmonic analysis and precise scale/arpeggio application, challenging improvisers beyond basic II-V-I patterns.
