The tune can be played as though the dom7 chords are the V of their respective Andalusian cadences. You get the Phrygian sound over the doms.
The G - F#7 is the VI - V of Bm - A - G - F#7 so you can play D maj over it (like playing C maj over Am -G - F - E).
After that you have Em - A7 - D - G which is also D major.
Then you have C#7, which is A maj. Then F#7 - Bm which is D again.
Then B7 uses G maj which takes you back very neatly to the GM7.
So the whole thing is
D - % - % - %
D - % - % - %
D - % - % - %
A - % - D - %
D - % - G - %
It's quite nice, very pure, and it works, but it's not boppy of course.

That info was correct but don't you think there's a bit of arty-farty nonsense going on? I mean, I really adore Beethoven, possibly the greatest composer of all... so I've written this loud, vulgar hip-hop number just to show how much I admire him :-)

Hey John... that was fun, thanks. I've been out of town... Spain is really a difficult tune... even if you stay really harmonically vanilla and use vanilla backing tracts...It's just a burnin tune. I made this comping vid years ago for this forum. Maybe it will help... maybe not....
Just for fun... I was back at Berklee back in 74 when AD took over when Bill Connors left RTF. Maybe it was 73... I can't remember.... but Spain was already in the fake books.... Al had recently got back from run with Barry Miles Quartet, he took over gig from Pat Martino and John Abercrombie .Barry Miles was one of the early fusion bands. I also posted vid

So the tune is... (the Form)
Intro.... 11 rubato bars
"A" 18 bars ( 6 + 12 )
"B" 13 bars 1st time through ( 9 + 4 )
2nd time with 2nd ending, ( 9 + 2)
"C" 24 bars then DS to last 8 bars of "A" and take 2nd ending to "C" for solos
It's just not that easy.... with chart can be easier. The chart in Real Book IV and the Real latin Book...is a little weak....but does fit on one page. I made a chart from Light as a Feather back at berklee. I worked in ensemble office. Transcribed tunes and helped put together BB books.

Nice takes y'all!
Rag, I think at the tempo you take it, you see how logical the chord progression actually is. The only "odd" bit is that its circular, meaning we don't get real resolution at the end of it...
Triple, nice to see you going full bore tempo. Sounding good, great articulation.
Rp, I dig the slow fusion burn of your take. It IS a pretty chord progression, and your tale proves it.
Peterson, proof you can do a lot with the major scale. Gjitelele was a fun idea. Great to have you aboard.
John that was Hella fun. Great "go for it" attitude. I like the repeated ascending figure you get into about halfway through, great tension builder...
Need to go back and make sure I didn't miss anybody...
Oh, and here's my go at it, with my new guitar. I was actually going to go electric, but my cable crapped out on me and I didn't feel like going downstairs to look for another. Told yall I was lazy.

So I just had to grab my Flamenca for this one and put a cejilla on the second fret - this is what came out. First take, in true jam fashion. Oh, I had played the tune before.
