Harmonic Highlights

  • Consistent use of the F minor ii-V-i progression (Gm7b5 - C7 - Fm7) as the primary tonicization.
  • Brief tonicization of Bbm via F7 (V7/iv), leading into a clear ii-V-I progression (Bbm7 - Eb7 - Abmaj7) in the relative major.
  • The Dbmaj7 chord functions as a bVImaj7 relative to F minor, adding a distinct modal color before returning to the minor ii-V.

Improvisation Focus F Harmonic Minor scale, primarily for navigating the C7 (V7) chord resolving to Fm7.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced) - Requires strong navigation of minor ii-V-i changes, temporary modulations, and colorful chromaticism.
