1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy, April 14, 2005
This review is from: Steely Dan's Greatest Songs (Play-It-Like-It-Is) (Paperback)
This is sheet music transcription at its laziest. Weak chords subtitute the complex originals, and none of the rythmic nuance chords are in there either. You will be disappointed if you think you will sound like Steely Dan learning the songs from this book.

This review is from: Steely Dan's Greatest Songs (Play-It-Like-It-Is) (Paperback)
Again this is a vocal/guitar book so if you're expected other parts you should look elsewhere. 'Reeling In The Years' is tabbed out for a 4 guitar arrangement. I believe the author was very thorough with this song and if you play it as written will get fantastic results. Alot of these songs you may consider copying for your own use so you can lay the pages out next to each other for better reading. I would take it one step further and completely write in the suggested rhythm fills and motifs so they're there on the page you're reading because it's alot to remember,(at least initially). Walter Becker did the guitar solo on 'Pretzel Logic' proving he was an amazing guitarist in his own right. Each solo is labeled with a name so you know who you're emulating if you play them. For guitar tones, well you're on your own for that. Larry Carlton gives a detailed description of his set-up on his 'Star Licks' dvd. The only problem for most of the rest of us is we don't have companies making custom amps and axes for our perusal and this is a big part of the Dan's or any other bigtime guitar act's signature sound. So crank up the trusty ole amp simulator and go for it !
