Harmonic Highlights:

  • The progression initiates on the V7 chord (Bb7) for four bars, prolonging the dominant harmony before moving to the I7.
  • Consistent utilization of the I7 chord (Eb7) instead of a tonic major 7th, characteristic of blues forms.
  • Features a vi7-II7-V7 turnaround (Cm7-F7-Bb7), where the II7 (F7) acts as a V7/V, enhancing dominant motion.
  • The prevalence of dominant 7th chords throughout the form (Bb7, Eb7, F7) facilitates ample dominant melodic exploration.

Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian modes over each respective dominant 7th chord.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) – While a blues, the initial V7 harmony and the specific vi7-II7-V7 turnaround require focused harmonic understanding beyond basic blues.
