| Bb7b13sus -> Ebm11/Bb | Resolution (Minor) | 1 |
- Extensive use of sus chords (F7sus, Bb7b13sus) creates prolonged modal ambiguity, deferring strong dominant-tonic resolution.
- The Bb7b13sus functions as an altered tonic dominant, with the b13 adding a characteristic bluesy, dark color to the home key.
- The Ebm11/Bb chord establishes a strong iv minor sonority over a Bb pedal point, introducing a modal shift while grounding the harmony on the tonic root.
Improvisation Focus: Modal playing, emphasizing the use of pentatonic scales that outline each chord’s color.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) due to the extended modal sections and the need for horizontal, rather than purely vertical, harmonic understanding.
