Harmonic Highlights

  • Employs frequent modal interchange, shifting between the home key of G major and the bVI (Ebmaj7) tonal center to create a bright, shifting harmonic palette.
  • Features chromatic II-V sequences, such as Fm7–Bb7 resolving to Ebmaj7, which treat non-diatonic chords as temporary tonics.
  • Utilizes III-VI-II-V turnarounds (Bm7–E7–Am7–D7) to provide structural stability and clear voice leading back to the G major tonic.
  • Dominant chords frequently use #5 alterations, indicating a preference for Whole-Tone or Altered scale colors over standard Mixolydian functionality.

Improvisation Focus Navigating Modal Interchange transitions between the G Major tonic and the Eb Major (bVI) harmonic area.

Difficulty Rating 4/5: The rapid modulation between distal key centers and the reliance on altered tensions require advanced harmonic fluency and precise voice leading.
