- Employs “side-slipping” modulations, shifting the tonal center suddenly from F major to Gb major via functional ii-V sequences.
- Features sequential ii-V patterns that descend chromatically (Bm7-E7 to Bbm7-Eb7) to navigate back to the primary key.
- Utilizes a chromatic turnaround (Am7 - Ab7 - Gm7 - C7), where Ab7 acts as a dominant substitute connecting the iii and ii chords.
Improvisation Focus Seamlessly connecting guide tones across rapid, shifting ii-V-I centers.
Difficulty Rating 4/5. The frequent modulations into distantly related keys at a typically fast tempo require advanced harmonic fluency and precise melodic targeting.
