  • Frequent use of E7 (V/ii) leading to Am7, reinforcing the ii-V-I chain within the home key of G major.
  • The D7#5 introduces an altered dominant quality, providing tension before its resolution.
  • A classic IV - #iv07 - I/V progression appears with C6 - C#07 - G6/D, showcasing effective chromatic voice leading.
  • Recurring G7 to C6 (I7 to IV) movements infuse a bluesy character, expanding the harmonic palette.

Improvisation Focus: Emphasizing guide-tone lines and chromatic approach notes to navigate tension-release points effectively.

Difficulty Rating: 3/5. While rooted in G major, the altered dominants (D7#5) and diminished chords (C#07) require specific harmonic awareness beyond basic diatonic playing.
