Harmonic Highlights

  • Features an extended cycle of secondary dominants (Bm7-E7-A7-D7) functioning as V/A, V/D, and V/G, driving momentum towards the tonic’s dominant.
  • Frequent use of Dm7/G (G7sus4) as a substitute for G7, adding a temporary suspension and modal flavor before dominant resolution.
  • Incorporates an altered dominant G7#5 for heightened tension and chromatic color before resolving to the C tonic.

Improvisation Focus Mastery of dominant scales, including Mixolydian and altered dominant options.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced) – The extended dominant chains and recurring suspended dominants demand sophisticated harmonic understanding and agile navigation.
