- Diatonic cycling of I-ii-V-I (Gmaj7-Am7-D7) provides a stable tonal center with standard 1930s voice-leading substitutions like G6.
- Tonicization of the subdominant (IV) via a secondary ii-V progression (Dm7-G7), shifting the tonal focus briefly to C major.
- Integration of diminished chords (Co7) as chromatic connectors or common-tone substitutions to facilitate smooth transitions back to the G major tonic.
Improvisation Focus G Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating 2 (Beginner-Intermediate). The predictable diatonic structure and clear functional cadences make it an ideal vehicle for mastering fundamental ii-V-I patterns without complex modulations.
