Harmonic Highlights
- The core F7-Eb7 progression forms a descending whole-step dominant cycle (V7/Bb to V7/Ab), establishing a strong, driving blues-rock feel within the Ab major key center.
- The entire progression is characterized by repeating dominant 7th chords, frequently moving in whole-step descents (e.g., Bb7-Ab7), emphasizing groove over strict functional harmony.
- Eb7, as the V7, serves as a recurring, temporary point of arrival, but its immediate departure prevents strong tonic resolution, maintaining harmonic forward momentum.
Improvisation Focus Mixolydian scales adapted to each dominant chord.
Difficulty Rating 2 (Beginner-Intermediate). The repeated dominant 7th chord structures are harmonically accessible, primarily requiring adaptation of dominant modes and blues phrasing.
