Dude! Thank you! 9 years later.

Its fun to see this great song being appreciated 30+ years later! Steely Dan made musicians do their homework. As did the Allman Brothers, I was there on the East Coast.

Great Lesson! Beautiful guitar by the way. I like how you show what it will sound like before breaking down the riffs. Thank you!

Super helpful lesson Keith. I've been playing guitar for about as long as Steely Dan has been around.( Kind of gave my age where there, didn't I ). But I never played Steely Dan's Music. As much as I love them, I always thought it was just too hard to learn. But now after watching your lesson I'm going to start working on it. I'm an old dog but I'm not afraid to learn a nrw trick. Excellent lesson and you're so young to be loving such a great old group. That just goes to show you the music transcends time and age. Keep up the good work and I'm going keep following your lessons.

Guys like you literally make the world a better place.

Great lesson for this number. We need more people to take advantage of this very simplified and comprehensive demonstration for this great sound track.Thank you bro

Mr. This brings back memories, wonderful memories as a kid growing up.and yes i remember that NBC Commercial. Thank you for your time and efforts

Fantastic lesson! Steely Dan is as challenging as they come with their intricate guitar work. Many thanks for breaking down this great tune.

Very talented young man...patiënt and thorough in explaining this song. I would never thought of trying this one out back in the "70's. To try and cover Steely Dan was something too difficult to even considder, so one just didn't.

I too am a Steely Dan kid. It'll never get old.

D Mu major xx0252 Arpeggiated 432123 A Mu major x0242x Arpeggiated 543234 E Mu major 024100 Arpeggiated 6543123 Steely Dan used Mu major chords in many of their songs. As soon as you hear hear them ring, you know you’ve got it. Mu major chords are played by taking the root tonic and where that same note repeats in the chord, move it up 2 half steps. Example D chord xxDADF# D Mu major xxDAEF#

Awesome video Keith! You break it down in a simple, clear way and are so humble in your approach. Thanks a bunch!

Awesome, Keith! Thanks for sharing so enthusiastically your deep knowledge of Steely Dan. A real pleasure to read everyone's grateful comments on your efforts.

No need to apologize for being hooked on "Steely Dan" music. You are showing a high level of musical maturity. Steely Dan's arrangements and lyrics were above and beyond the typical pop hits. I have been a full time guitar player for nearly 40 years and still see "Steely Dan" as one of a musicians, musician type band. Great job on the lesson! 👍🏼🎶

This video was such a relief. So many of vids can be informative but so few have folks that can actually sing or let alone really understand the song! Thanks fellow Dan man....

Super helpful. Thanks! It knocks me out how many "normal" chords the Dan uses. When I was a kid I imagined they commissioned a secret chord foundry to invent one of a kind chords for them and it was impossible to figure them out! Great job.

I was searchingfor this particular song to learn on my guitar and I found you 😊 I realize that this video is a few years old but I'm still going to say to you,... Thank you so much for a wonderfully explained tutorial🥰

Thanks for the wonderful lesson, sorry I'm ten years too late ( story of my life!! ) Still better late than never! , I watched The Great Dean Parks explain his acoustic parts played over the original recording. Thanks again. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

Great job, Keith! Sounds real good - those Steely Dan songs are not easy to figure out. You explained it very well - very informative. Thanks!

Keith. Amazing ! You are a fantastic tutor. So clear and elaborate in your delivery of information. And a massive Steely Dan fan. Thank you sir !

Thank's Keith,in the process of learning a whole set nearly 50 songs for sat so it really helped,Cheers Danny

This is a super relaxed AND precise lesson on that beautiful classic! Very well done! As it seems to come so naturally to you, you don't dwell very long on the rhythm here, so we still have to listen carefully...

Excellent !!!! I can't believe I'm actually playing this ! :)

Absolutely great job, brother! And, very much appreciated!

Good teacher and player.. you taught me chord progressions Ive only listened to until now..Thanks!..Im a Steely Dan fan too

And that chord you said you can't remember is an E add 9. Beautiful chord and wonderful teaching. Thank you!

Thank you Keith, what a great teaching style and demeanor that you possess. It's a true gift to be able to do what you do bro.

This is so cool 😎 great cords great song dig steely Dan thanks again rich

This is so very good! Steely Dan produce some creative and awesome music! Thanks!

You're a great teacher. I always thought it was much more complicated.

Thank you so much for breaking down this great tune, Keith. Have loved this song for 30 years, especially that great solo in the middle, but am not gonna go there. (Try and learn it) I know my limitations. Maybe one for a year or two down the road, when I'm better than I am now. Greetings and best wishes from Belfast, N Ireland, guitar bro. Hope you have a great summer You know your stuff, and like the contributor below says, you're v good at putting it across.

I remember when the song was brand new. I can't think of a song that Steely Dan has done that was a clunker. Very good instruction vid.

Excellent lesson (and, you’re very talented!). Thanks for posting.

This is a really cool lesson. Your teaching style was clear and easy to understand. You didn't take up the whole video with unnecessary talk . I learned this song watching this video 3 times.. thanks for the video.

I have always loved this song! I'd like to hear the solo! You have done a great job!

good job, Keith! I just saw them April 14th 2017 in Las Vegas. Mesmerizing Live! I figured out the chords, but had to come here to get that Dominant 7 lick before the chorus. you are a good teacher, all the best!

Hey Keith, absolutely great job - thanks a lot!

WoW! Fantastic instructions and superb sounds bud! Nice!

Great work. I’m glad I tuned you in today!

This has inspired me to finally learn a new cover! Great job and thank you.

Thanks Keith! It's a classic tune never thought I'd be able to aspire to it... ;-)

You did a good job teaching this lesson. A play along/ cover by you would be an awesome addition to your page.

Great lesson!! Wish you would post more. You are an excellent player...thanks

Wow what a great teacher you are. Love your guitar 😊 Thank you 😊

Heard this on the radio today thought it be cool to play acoustic .good Lesson , easy to understand Thanks

Dude, u da MAN! You do it so right, and smooth...thx for sharing

Awesome job on the step by step tutorial!!! Keep up the great work.

Many thanks, much appreciated. Bob, Scotland.

Your a great tutor I've seen many tutorials and you're is right up there

Nicely done - quite helpful, simple and direct - excellent, wry teaching method.

Thanks for posting ....nice complete lesson, easy to follow. Good work!

Great job (7 years ago!) dude! Thanks 👍

Awesome... Very nice job and great explanations.... Thank you!

from guitar teacher in the UK - I think you're exceptional

Great lesson young man, I really enjoyed the instruction.

Good work Keith, thanks mate, saved me a lot of time!

Thank you. Love the way you teach.

You have a great voice. That guitar is correct too ! Thanks for the video!

Awesome! Most helpful. Thank you Keith!!

Excellent mate great playing

Thanks KZfaq! Good stuff Keith! Still on that Dan kick in December 2023?

Really great job. You made it harder than it’s needs to be with that pinky on the 4th fret. Works fine with e sus 2. Loved the bridge. Sneaking an A before the ASus2 at “you could have a change of heart” gets you the hook riff from the record. Still terrific stuff thanks.

Yo playa, you the go to man for anything Steely Dan ! Thanks dude

Your lessons are great.... thanks for sharing

Fantastic lesson!!

Congrats great lesson !!! 😎🎸

Very good. Such a great tune.

Becker/Fagen once remarked comically/sarcastically in an interview that people seemed to think they invented jazz chords. Well to me they made inventive melodies on top of creative jazzy/Latin grooves. No one else in rock really wrote with that level of sophistication. For much of country/rock, simplicity was charming but not as adventurous sonically. Where they got their aesthetic is a mystery but putting jazzy chords in melodic pop had to have really begun with the Beatles and Beach Boys some times. The ability to take interesting jazzy chords and pluck a catchy melody was pure genius on the part of Fagen.

Really like the way you did the song ,thanks!

Great lesson, thank you for posting it.

great lesson, gorgeous Alvarez

great tutorial! can't wait to start practicing this!

Yes this is also for me a big hand to actually play the song like it 's supposed to be !!!! Thanx Greetz from Amsterdam.

Hats of to you mate well worked and didn't labour the lesson. Post more..... please.

Great job dude, keep up the good work!

Nice job! Thanks! Great song!

I like your video, you get some nice tones! Very good, informative. I’d like to see you play the song w lyrics, sounds great.

Thanks very much, friend. Great lesson.

Very beautiful guitar!

Thanks Keith...great tutorial

Ok, so I've been playing it wrong for about 30 years. Thanks very much, you have so much patience, great instruction, I really have it nailed now. Still can't sing it very well though..............

Great stuff! I like your style.

Very nice lesson!

Bravo for uploading musical content. Please play the piece before the lesson. It makes your instructions much more accessible that way. Thanks

Man one of the few vids teaching a song I actually really enjoyed I use the number system to learn music but little transposing for me no problem 😉

Nice lesson amigo!

Day 2 already at the chorus, thank you!

Fantastic - thanks for the great lesson. Would love to see the solo.

Great lesson👍👍

You're a great instructor

Nice job Keith! Thanks I've added this for reference:)

thanks..this is an excellent lesson clear and concise..I would suggest...and this is in no way a complaint...but if you played the song thru at the end...put it all together it would be great. Thanks so much for your effort and patience in teaching!!

Awesome, man, hope you are well!

Thank you man. You have a good voice too
