Harmonic Highlights

  • Prominent use of the E7b9/G# (V7/vi altered) resolving deceptively to Fmaj7 (IV), creating a distinctive chromatic bass line (G to G# to A) and harmonic surprise.
  • Frequent and clear ii-V-I progressions in both the tonic (Dm7-G7-C6) and subdominant (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7) keys.
  • The Am7-D7 (vi-II7) serves as a classic extended turnaround, establishing a V7/V function before the primary ii-V.

Improvisation Focus C Major scale and its diatonic modes.

Difficulty Rating 2/5 - The changes are largely diatonic with standard ii-V-I patterns, making it accessible for developing improvisers.
