- The opening sequence employs a descending line cliché (A-G-F#-F), moving from the tonic through F#m7b5 to F7#11.
- F7#11 functions as a tritone substitution for B7 (subV/V), providing a smooth chromatic resolution toward the E7#9 dominant.
- The progression shifts from a modal minor feel to a blues-inflected circle of fifths (A7-D7-B7), utilizing secondary dominants to build momentum.
Improvisation Focus A Minor Blues scale combined with A Dorian to navigate the shifting tonal centers and altered extensions.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: While the groove is accessible, the non-diatonic tritone substitutions and secondary dominants require precise chord-tone targeting.
