- Frequent I-V7 oscillations (Cmaj7 to G7) define the initial phrase, establishing a firm diatonic foundation before moving into more complex cycles.
- The use of the secondary dominant D13 (V of V) creates a classic tension that resolves through a standard ii-V-I turnaround (Dm7-G7-Cmaj7).
- The progression utilizes a Gm7-C7 sequence to facilitate a brief tonicization of the IV chord (F major), adding essential chromatic movement to the bridge transition.
Improvisation Focus The C Major Bebop Scale is the most effective tool for connecting diatonic chord tones while smoothing over the dominant resolutions.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic structure is largely diatonic and follows predictable functional patterns, making it an ideal entry point for studying standard song forms.
