- Employs modal interchange via Gm6 and Cm6 chords, incorporating the parallel minor (G minor) palette into the tonic G major landscape.
- Features a backdoor ii-V (Cm6 to F7) that provides a non-diatonic, chromatic resolution back to the Gmaj7 tonic.
- Utilizes a chromatic ascending passing diminished chord (A7 - Bb°7 - Bm7) to bridge the II7 and iii7 chords effectively.
- Integrates secondary dominants such as E7#5 (V/ii) to create pull toward the Am7, facilitating smooth cycle-of-fourths movement.
Improvisation Focus Navigating Modal Interchange: Specifically targeting the b3 and b6 intervals over the minor subdominant chords using G Melodic Minor.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The tune remains largely functional but demands precise navigation of parallel minor shifts and chromatic passing diminished harmony.
