  • Harmonic Highlights

    • Chromatic bass movement from Fm to C7/E (i to V7/3rd) establishing immediate dominant pull.
    • Distinct modal interchange with Ebm6 (biv6) moving to Dbmaj7 (bVImaj7), defining a characteristic minor key sound.
    • Strong dominant preparation using bVImaj7 - V7/V - V7 (Dbmaj7 - G7 - C7) to resolve to the tonic.
    • Inclusion of the minor iiø7-V7 (Dm7b5 - G7) provides sophisticated dominant motion, often preparing C7.
  • Improvisation Focus F Natural Minor (Aeolian) scale, effectively navigating the primary minor key harmonies and modal interchange.

  • Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate) - Requires navigating both traditional minor key harmony and distinct modal interchange, along with clear dominant function.
