  • Prominent use of Db7 as a tritone substitution for V7/V (G7) before C7, creating a strong chromatic pull to the dominant.
  • Chromatic embellishment of the V7 chord with C07 (C fully diminished) before its resolution to C7, adding a moment of intense tension.
  • Application of an altered dominant C7#5#9, introducing highly colorful extensions and intensifying the resolution to the tonic.
  • Inclusion of F07 as a passing diminished chord on the tonic Fmaj7, adding a subtle chromatic tension and sophistication to the primary harmony.

Improvisation Focus: Altered dominant scales and arpeggios over C7 and its variations.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The frequent use of altered dominants, tritone substitutions, and diminished passing chords requires a sophisticated harmonic understanding.
