Great lesson. I hadn't thought of the chord in measures 3 and 4 as a VI dom function. Relying on the old Real Book 1 for chord melody I've always used the minor i/bIII major7 for measures 3 and 4 and Dom II and Dom V for measures 5 and 6.respectively. It lies nicely on the neck. So in Eb: Eb 6/9 at the 10th fret with Eb on 1st string and pedal Eb on 6th string; Eb min7 at 11th fret with Db on 2nd string, or Gma9, or Gbma triad on strings 321 with Eb on 6th string, or Dbma triad on strings 321 over Gb on string 5 and pedal on Eb on string 6; F9 ( 7th in the bass) and C on 2nd string; rootless Bb13b9 with 7th in the bass (5th string) and pedal on Eb (6th string)

Marc, you are a great player and teacher. You have “reinvented the wheel” SO MUCH that the car is not going to go anywhere. Let the bass player or backing track provide the Pedal Tone depending on the Key of Choice (Eb,C). Improvise over each Major 7th with whatever you would typically play over that particular chord. For example, play Minor Pentatonics based from the 3rd or maj7th of each of the chords. Isn’t it “Interesting” the melody of the tune is only CHORD TONES. Use them for improvising.
Overall, this theoretical analysis is unnecessary. One man’s opinion.
