Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features a non-diatonic C7 (IV7) after the Gmaj7, creating a bluesy or substitute dominant flavor rather than a strict diatonic progression.
  • Employs a chromatic Bb07 (bIIIdim7) as an effective passing diminished chord, facilitating smooth voice leading between Bm7 (iii) and Am7 (ii).
  • Showcases a chain of secondary dominants (A7, E7, B7) and their related ii-V progressions, generating strong harmonic motion and temporary modulations.

Improvisation Focus: Adapting scales and arpeggios to temporary key centers, particularly employing Mixolydian and altered dominant sounds over V7 chords.

Difficulty Rating: 3.5 (Intermediate to Advanced). The frequent secondary dominants, chromatic passing chords, and non-diatonic harmonies require careful navigation beyond basic diatonic playing.
