Harmonic Highlights

  • Features extended descending cycles of dominant 7th chords (e.g., D7-G7-C7-Fmaj7), creating continuous harmonic motion and a sense of forward drive.
  • Abundant use of secondary dominants such as C7 (V/F) and D7 (V/G), frequently tonicizing non-diatonic chords.
  • Integrates a clear minor II-V-I progression (Em7-A7-Dm7), introducing a contrasting harmonic color and temporary modulation.

Improvisation Focus Mastery of Mixolydian mode and its common altered forms (e.g., b9, #9, #11, b13) over various dominant 7th chords.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The rapid succession of secondary dominants and the inclusion of a minor II-V-I demand a solid understanding of chord-scale theory and voice leading.
