@trappedsoul7 Well, the tune is in Bb, but starts on Abmaj, a bVIImaj7 chord, which is very intersting. But from the melody it is clearly a lydian sound.
The next chords are typical: III7, vi, ii/IV, V/IV, IV, III7 vi (D7 Gm Fm Bb7 Eb D7 Gm)
Things change up a bit at the C/E chord, but still it's just a slight modulation to F major, V to I (C to F)
Now there's a more dramatic shift to Gmajor: vii III7 vi ii V I (F#m7b5 B7 Em Am D7 G)
3:40 he plays Four. Very interesting.

The last section has all typical chords in Bb.

@25silverwater nice analysis! but can you solo over it? i can't ;)
a few thoughts on your take / why i think it's hard to play
- III7 is not really a typical sound, don't you think? i'd say here its origin is g harmonic minor (D7 g)
- ii/IV, V/IV, IV, III7 happens in only two bars!
- F major for only two bars!
- because of the iim7b5 - V7alt (in e minor), you can't really play Gmajor here, can you.
- The last section also features a iim7b5/iii, V7alt/iii over which Bb major won't work.
