- Frequent use of secondary dominants (E7-Am7, A7-Dm7) creates temporary tonicizations that expand the diatonic C major framework.
- Sequential ii-V progressions (Gm7-C7 leading to Fmaj7) utilize the cycle of fifths to target the subdominant key area.
- Integration of minor ii-V-I patterns (Em7b5-A7-Dm7) introduces sophisticated chromaticism by referencing the relative minor.
- Standard vi-II7-ii-V7 turnarounds (Am7-D7-Dm7-G7) provide functional bridges that maintain harmonic momentum toward the tonic C6.
Improvisation Focus Guide Tone Navigation, specifically targeting the 3rd and 7th of each chord to smoothly transition through the frequent secondary dominant shifts.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: While rooted in C major, the density of secondary dominants and the mix of major and minor ii-V patterns require intermediate-level harmonic awareness.
