Hey, guys! I'm back with another music theory video, and this time we're diving into D'Angelo's hit song "Lady" from his album Brown Sugar. At first glance, this song might seem simple with only three chords, but trust me, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. I'll show you how the Eb minor pentatonic scale, the non-diatonic chords, and the gospel walkup in the bridge all come together to make this song so special. I'll also highlight the sick vocal run around the two-minute mark and point out some hidden gems in the chord progression that you might have missed. So come along with me as we unlock the secrets of "Lady" and level up your music theory game. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more breakdowns of your favorite songs.
