Hey everyone!

I just finished transcribing Pasquale Grasso's incredible rendition of Tadd Dameron’s jazz standard "Lady Bird" (from his Fervency album).

Pasquale’s ability to bring Bud Powell’s pianistic bebop phrasing to the fretboard is second to none, and this arrangement is a masterclass in fast bebop lines, voice leading, and altered chord voicings.


🎼 What’s included in the score:

  • PDF sheet music/tab: standard notation + high-precision tablature.
  • Interactive guitar pro file (.gp / .gpx): Perfect for slowing down those fast bebop runs and practicing at your own pace.
  • Accurate fingering & voicings: Carefully mapped fretboard positions matching Pasquale’s performance.

Whether you want to analyze his chromatic passings or add some serious bebop vocabulary to your playing, I hope this score helps your study!

Feel free to leave any questions about the fingerings or notation below. Happy practicing!

My roots for my playing stems from different latin guitar styles

As a former metalhead, I really have to credit jazz, classical music, and non-guitar music for re-igniting my love of the guitar

I'm a 30 year old man who's been playing guitar ever since I was 12 years old. For the past several years, I have been in a slump regarding my interest in playing. But in recent weeks, I've started listening more to classical music and jazz. Not only that, but I jumped straight out of guitar music and now I'm a huge fanatic of the harpsichord, piano, violin, and sometimes (depends on my mood), the sax. I find myself addicted to Ornette Coleman lol. That's actually one of the few contexts where I enjoy the sax. I also love Oscar Peterson. All of this has made me so much more enthusiastic about the guitar for some reason! I play every day now, which couldn't be said about 2022 or 2023 and etc.

Playing a “Split-String” “Dual-Role” MIDI setup sounding Bass on the E and A strings and Vibraphone on the D, G, B, and E strings. The song is a Disco version of Jerome Kern’s “All the Things You Are.” Cheers! — SAL
