Re: Steely Dan Solos-which is your favorite?

The one that starts out with the heavily distorted arpeggio followed by several bends.
I can't remember which song it is and I can't put my hands on the CD. I think it's on Royal Scam.

Don't let 'em foul ya. Getting old is a *****!

Anyway, that's killer stuff.

Now what was I saying?

"Don't Take Me Alive," that's it. I think.
Anyway, I love that song.

Peg, Kid C., Do it Again, Haitan Divorce.

I also like the Larry Carlton solo's on Donald Fagen's Nitefly (don't know if it counts).

For me, Steeley Dan is the full-meal deal. You've got great playing, great subject matter in the lyrics, and great grooves.

Play the solo from Kid Charlemagne in a guitar store and see what happens. I think that you'll be amazed by the response, even from the young guys who've never heard it before.

The tones and solos from Haitian Divorce are way cool, too.

I love the guys who can play through the chord changes.

Most of their tunes....way too many to list, but my personal favorite is "Deacon Blues". Not necessarily the guitar, just the song as a whole.

There's a guy that pops in every now & then, Scott Lerner, that plays some killer Steely Dan. Do a search on the forum for him....good stuff!!!



***EDIT...I just did a search & it appears the Steely Dan clip was removed. You can check Scott's music out @ www.scottlernermusic.com though & get a pretty good idea of how good it was.

Wow! Deacon Blues is my favorite song too! This song has an incredible saxaphone solo, and vocal harmonies.

I also love Babylon Sisters.

I'm a big fan of Scott Lerner. Have you checked out his jazz fusion videos he filmed at home? I'd love to hear him play Steely Dan.

Heh Steely dan talk on a mostly Metal minded board
Anything Larry played on, I have heard tons of music from that area, it is brilliance and elegance.

Re: Steely Dan Solos-which is your favorite?

I wasn't really into Steely Dan back when it was current - too "fancy". But now that I'm more... ahem, mature I've been listening to them a lot.

I found one tune on their "Show Biz Kids" compilation that I had never even heard before, Boston Rag. The solo is a bit simpler that the usual fare, but Jeff Baxter ROCKS.

I love his solo on "Rikki". too.
