How the key behaves
The key contains one sharp, F#. Use D or D7 to create a strong return to G and Em when you want a darker relative-minor colour.
Turn theory into playing
Strum the tonic chord until it feels settled, move through the diatonic chords, then return home. After that, open the matching Jamuzo groove and target chord tones while the harmony changes.
