Harmonic Highlights

  • Features a prominent cycle of secondary dominants (D7-G7-C7-F6), creating extended harmonic motion leading to the tonic.
  • Incorporates modal mixture through the use of Fm/A, borrowing from the parallel minor to add a distinct color.
  • Utilizes B07 as a chromatic passing diminished or a substitute for a V7b9, increasing tension and harmonic interest.
  • Intersperses standard ii-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7-F6), providing familiar anchor points within the richer harmonic landscape.

Improvisation Focus: Dominant 7th scales (Mixolydian and altered forms) to navigate the extensive dominant cycles.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). Navigating the extended dominant cycles, modal mixture, and the specific function of the diminished chord requires a solid understanding of advanced harmonic concepts.
