In this episode of the Guitar and Improvisation Podcast, we study Tadd Dameron's beautiful composition "Lady Bird." We analyze the chord changes, including the distinctive half-step key center movements that make this tune harmonically unique. You will learn comping voicings, scale choices, and improvisation approaches to confidently solo over "Lady Bird" and similar jazz standards with chromatic harmony.
