Harmonic Highlights

  • Employs a gospel-influenced “Amen” cadence structure, specifically the IV (Bb9) to #iv°7 (B°7) to I/5 (F/C) progression.
  • Integrates secondary dominants like G7 (V/V) and D7 (V/ii) to drive melodic movement back toward the tonic F6.
  • Features a 16-bar form that blends traditional folk-hymn structures with jazz cyclical turnarounds (ii-V-I).

Improvisation Focus F Major Blues Scale (blending the Major Pentatonic with the b3 “blue note”).

Difficulty Rating 2/5. The predictable gospel-style harmony and moderate tempo make it an ideal entry point for learning secondary dominants and soul-jazz phrasing.
