Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features prominent altered secondary dominants, notably B7#5#9 resolving to Em7 (V7/vi).
  • Incorporates a striking chromatic modulation sequence, moving from Gm7 to Bbmaj7 and the tritone substitution Eb7#11, temporarily departing from G major.
  • Employs frequent ii-V progressions and extended dominants, such as Em7-A13b9 leading to D, enriching the harmonic landscape.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered dominant scales.

Difficulty Rating: 4 - Advanced Intermediate. The song demands a strong grasp of altered dominants, secondary function, and significant chromatic modulation, requiring a versatile scalar approach.
