Is this a line cliche?

Dear Harry,

Thanks for your constant feedback... Are there any songs that occur to you off of the top of your head (besides 12th year) that have similar changes that you would recommend for transcription?

Thanks!

Any Django is good, whatever you like best.
Some songs with chains of dominants "Sweet georgia brown" , "Double scotch", "Micro",etc.

Remember to do some in major and some in minor.

Good luck!

How does Bdim over A7 work? Is that because it's enharmonic with g#dim, so it's a vii/A7?

I like to play using visual cues/patterns rather than theory and so in this case I think of the Bdim as a chord sub for E7 in the same way that Bm6 is a chord sub of E7. E7 is a fifth from the A7 and so its a tension chord or you can think of it as a vi chord in the key of D. therefore, it sorta works as tension towards the Dmaj in the same way that the A7 is tension towards D in itself.
