Harmonic Highlights
- Utilizes “constant structure” maj7#11 chords moving via chromatic mediant relationships (Cmaj7/G to Abmaj7#11/G), creating a non-functional, impressionistic flow.
- Employs slash-chord voicings and pedal points to maintain common tones across distant tonal shifts, such as the major third jump from Gbmaj7 to Dmaj7.
- The progression avoids traditional ii-V-I cadences, instead relying on parallel Lydian movements and symmetrical root jumps.
Improvisation Focus
Modal shifting using the Lydian scale (1, 2, 3, #4, 5, 6, 7) over non-functional changes.
Difficulty Rating
4/5. The lack of functional resolution and rapid transitions between unrelated keys demand advanced modal fluency and precise voice leading.
