Harmonic Highlights:

  • Employs a distinctive chromatic ascent (I - ii - #ii°7 - I/iii - IV), using G#°7 to bridge the harmonic gap between Gm7 and F/A.
  • The G#°7 chord functions as a secondary leading-tone diminished chord (vii°7/iii), facilitating smooth voice leading to the A natural in the bass.
  • Features a prominent secondary dominant (G7 as V/V) that strengthens the resolution to the dominant (C7) and reinforces the F major tonality.
  1. Improvisation Focus: F Major Bebop scale with an emphasis on chord tone targeting to navigate the chromatic passing motion.

  2. Difficulty Rating: 3/5: While the key is accessible, the chromatic walk-up and rhythmic “stop-time” feel require sophisticated melodic phrasing and harmonic precision.
