Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent ii-V-I progressions (Am7-D7-Gmaj7) firmly establish the G major tonal center.
  • Secondary dominant function is prominent, including G7 (V7/IV) leading to Cmaj7 and A7 (V7/V) preceding the dominant D7.
  • Tonic harmony is enriched by alternating between G6 and Gmaj7, while D7sus-D7 resolutions add color.
  • Sustained dominant chords (e.g., multiple D7s) build harmonic tension before tonic resolution.

Improvisation Focus: Targeting chord tones and Mixolydian modes over dominant 7ths.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The clear ii-V-I structures are balanced by common secondary dominants requiring focused resolution.
