- Persistent I–vi–ii–V7 cycles in F Major create a classic diatonic foundation, typical of the Great American Songbook’s “rhythm changes” vocabulary.
- Abrupt modulation to the â™III (Ab Major) via a Bbm7–Eb7–Ab6 sequence provides a sophisticated shift to the parallel minor’s relative major.
- Functional use of the secondary dominant V7/ii (D7) creates a strong chromatic resolution to Gm7, facilitating smooth transitions between song sections.
Improvisation Focus Seamless voice-leading through the modulation from F Major to Ab Major.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The progression is largely diatonic and repetitive, making it highly accessible for beginners to practice standard ii-V-I patterns and basic key shifts.
