  • The prominent use of Caug (V+) provides chromatic tension and a distinct “pretty” or embellished dominant flavor resolving to the tonic F.
  • Standard ii-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7-F) are a core structural element, often initiated with inversions like F/A.
  • The Dm - Dm/C - Gm7 - C(7) sequence features a descending bass line, creating smooth voice leading within a common vi-ii-V context.
  • Occasional use of Bb (IV) and F7 (V7/IV) hints at plagal movement or brief dominant function leading to the subdominant.

Improvisation Focus: F Major Scale (Ionian), incorporating the C augmented arpeggio over Caug.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). While fundamentally in F major, the Caug chord and some non-diatonic dominant functions require nuanced melodic choices.
