  • Deceptive resolution of V7#5 (G7#5) to ii (Gm7) immediately initiates a ii-V-I progression to F major (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7), a signature opening motif.
  • Incorporates modal mixture with the Fm6 (iv chord) leading to the G7 dominant, imparting a distinct melancholic color.
  • Features a sophisticated Ab7#11 (bII7) functioning as a tritone substitute which resolves uniquely to Dm7 (ii), adding unexpected chromaticism.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating ii-V-I progressions and their chromatic variations.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The blend of standard progressions with deceptive resolutions and sophisticated chromaticism like Ab7#11 requires careful harmonic navigation.
