Harmonic Highlights:

  • The presence of F7 (I7) on the tonic and the subsequent Fm7-Bb7 progression suggests a blend of bluesy dominant, minor tonic, and backdoor dominant characteristics.
  • Prominent secondary dominant functions are observed through D7sus-D7 (V/ii) and G7sus-G7 (V/V), driving harmonic motion.
  • The recurring Fm6 - F#07 chord movement showcases a classic chromatic passing diminished harmony, adding color and tension.
  • Cmaj7 appearing as the V chord instead of the expected C7 indicates a modal approach, possibly Lydian, rather than a traditional dominant resolution.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating dominant scale variations and chromatic passing tones.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Intermediate-Advanced) because of the frequent chromaticism, non-diatonic V chord, and mix of major/minor tonalities around the tonic.
