Harmonic Highlights:

  • Extensive use of static dominant 7sus chords, delaying clear functional resolution and establishing a modal soundscape.
  • Non-functional root movement of the initial sus chord progression by ascending minor thirds (C7sus -> Eb7sus -> Ab7sus).
  • Alternates between extended modal sus chord sections and traditional iiø7-V7alt progressions, with temporary resolutions to Ebmaj7 (bIII of C minor).

Improvisation Focus: Modal improvisation, particularly applying Mixolydian over the 7sus chords and Altered scales over the V7alt chords.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) Requires a solid understanding of modal improvisation over extended static harmonies and navigating advanced altered dominant resolutions.
