  • Harmonic Highlights

    • Extensive V7-I7 (G7-C7) repetition establishes a strong, blues-inflected dominant tonic sound in C.
    • The C7 chord often functions as a blues tonic (I7) rather than a dominant of F, giving the tune its characteristic groove.
    • Later chord progressions introduce non-diatonic elements like Bm7 and D7sus, hinting at brief shifts or extensions beyond the basic C major tonality.
    • The sequence Bm7-Em7-D7sus-Am7 provides harmonic contrast, moving away from the static dominant-tonic pattern.
  • Improvisation Focus Mixolydian modes and blues scales.

  • Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate). Its repetitive blues foundation is approachable, but the later chord changes introduce harmonic shifts demanding more advanced melodic navigation.
