  • The Ab07 chord serves as a chromatic passing diminished, creating tension en route to the Gm6 (ii) chord.
  • The non-diatonic Eb/G (bVIImaj7) acts as a colorful modal interchange or substitution, momentarily shifting the tonal palette around the Gm area.
  • A strong Gm7 - C7b9 - Fmaj7 (ii-V-I) progression provides a clear, conventional resolution back to the tonic.

Improvisation Focus: Targeting chord tones with chromatic embellishment, especially around the non-diatonic sections.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) - The standard ii-V-I progressions are approachable, but the chromatic diminished and modal interchange chords require careful navigation.
