Harmonic Highlights:

  • Prominent use of the backdoor dominant progression (ivm7 - bVII7 - Imaj7) via Fm7-Bb7 resolving to Cmaj7.
  • Employs standard iii-VI-ii-V-I and ii-V-I progressions as core harmonic movement.
  • Brief tonicization of the subdominant (Fmaj7) through its own ii-V chord progression (Gm7-C7).

Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian scale applications over various dominant chords.

Difficulty Rating: 3/5. It requires navigating both diatonic and common non-diatonic functions like backdoor dominants and temporary tonicizations.
