I’m a solo performer and usually do blues but have added some more complicated tunes (Exactly Like You, I’ll always Be in love with you). These tunes are relatively simple but not just blues. What other tunes are similar? I’m looking to avoid stuff like Embraceable You for example as it has lots of diminished chords and such.

I've got a bunch of pretty simple arrangements of tunes on my last solo recording that reflects how I think about this stuff. Jazz is mostly ii-V's, and then you're substituting around that, or being careful not to clash with the melody.

I think there are lots of tunes that are built on diatonic chord changes.. but often the bridge in those tunes move through a few keys, not that it makes it very difficult really
