It's a decent piano book...,
By
This review is from: Hal Leonard Steely Dan Piano, Vocal, Guitar Tab Book (Sheet music)
Well, I *am* a piano player and Steely Dan fan who bought this to see what the heck they are doing on some of these songs. If you're an intermediate piano player who is looking for melodies and a reasonably decent sketch of how the song goes, this is the book for you. If you're an advanced player, or a jazz fan, or want to know *exactly* what kind of chord voicings are being used, you might be disappointed on some songs. (Not all songs; some transcriptions are better than others.) The guitar chord listings are the most accurate -- if you follow those rather than the staff, and are familiar with jazz voicings, you can pretty much figure it out. I knew that going in, and I've still found the book worthwhile because figuring out all the A7+(b9) chords by ear gets old quick.

OK, but simplified,
This review is from: Hal Leonard Steely Dan Piano, Vocal, Guitar Tab Book (Sheet music)
So I got the Steely Dan songbook from MCA, but a lot of the chords seem to be "rounded off", and some of the songs are in the wrong key! Maybe my Mobile Fidelity CD copy of Aja runs a bit slow, but I transcribed "Aja" (the song) in B, and this book has it in C. Ditto with "Peg", Db instead of C. Bummer. Also, this book shows the first chord of "Aja" in the right hand as E-G-B with C in the bass. I figured out the first chord as F#-A#-C#-D# with B in the bass. After that, it's not even close. There are a bunch of things like that. The intro of "Sign in Stranger" doesn't resolve up like the book says, it stays on the C and there is a trill they missed. I was hoping this book would be a step above the average piano book, like the transcriptions in Keyboard or Guitar Player, but it's not. Oh well, at least it's fun to jam to the changes. -jl

Must have for Steely Dan Fan,
By Russell Jackson (Laporte, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steely Dan Complete (Paperback)
I bought this book because I love Steely Dan's music and wanted to learn their songs. These are keyboard arrangements, for intermediate to advance piano. It has guitar chords, too, but not as correct as "The best of Steely Dan, guitar tab", which you need if you want to learn the guitar solos and nuances. I also noticed that some of the piano chord voicings don't quite sound like the record. and some of the songs aren't written in the same key as the record. But overall, a great book to get you on your way.
