Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent dominant 7th chords (G7, C7) establish a strong blues sensibility within the G major key.
  • Numerous secondary dominants (B7 V7/Em, E7 V7/Am) create temporary tonicizations and expand harmonic possibilities.
  • A clear chromatic dominant descent (C7 - B7 - Bb7 - A7) adds intricate voice leading and harmonic tension.
  • Effective ii-V-I progressions (Bm7 - E7 - A7) drive the harmonic movement through the cycle of fifths.

Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian mode application, adapting to each root of the frequent dominant 7th chords.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The rapid and varied dominant harmonies, secondary dominants, and chromatic shifts demand quick melodic and harmonic adaptability.
