Harmonic Highlights

  • Gentle oscillation between maj6 and ii/maj6 over tonicized pedals (F6-Gm7/F, G6-Am7/G), creating subtle melodic tension.
  • Prominent use of the ii-V-I progression, notably tonicizing the subdominant (Gm7-C7 to F6).
  • A classic Vsus4-V movement (Gm7/C as C7sus4 to C9) provides tension and resolution before key points.
  • A surprising ii-V-I resolution to A6 (Bm7-E7-A6), introducing non-diatonic notes and briefly tonicizing the parallel major of the submediant.

Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale application to navigate the diatonic and temporarily tonicized harmonies.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). It requires careful attention to secondary dominant resolutions and the non-diatonic A6 chord.
