Analyzing a Standard - Stella By Starlight - Functional Harmony in Jazz - Jazz Guitar Lesson

Here's a harmonic analysis of the jazz standard Stella By Starlight
Since I was not around last week I didn't have time to make a Q&A video, so here's a little video about analyzing the standard Stella By Starlight. Using Functional Harmony is a great way to really understand the chord progressions in a jazz standard.

I guess Stella is in many ways one of the most mysterious chord progressions among the jazz standards, and yet it is so beautiful that everybody just keeps at it until they can play it :) I know I did it like that at least.

One of the first jazz solos I could play was Ulf Wakenius solo over this on a NHØP album that I since lost.

Check out my Solo guitar rendition of Stella:
