Harmonic Highlights

  • Frequent use of the tonic diminished chord (F07) as a chromatic embellishment around the Fmaj7 tonic, creating inner voice movement.
  • The Ab07 functions as a chromatic diminished leading into the Gm7 (ii chord), adding tension before the dominant-tonic motion.
  • Features an extended vi - V7/V - ii - V turnaround (Dm7 - G7 - Gm7 - C7), demonstrating advanced reharmonization and resolution patterns.

Improvisation Focus Navigating chromatic diminished harmony with appropriate scales (e.g., diminished scales) within the F major tonality.

Difficulty Rating 4/5 - The integration of chromatic diminished chords and extended ii-V turnarounds requires a strong understanding of non-diatonic harmony and advanced scale application.
