I enjoy the fact that this change is playable, and NOT rocket science. Thanks Tim.

I enjoy your exploratory style.. it’s unscripted / unpredictable and creative, yet focused on an idea. Reminds me of my own musical adventures

Tim, your video format is amazing with the chord chart and keyboard diagram. I appreciate what you're bringing to online music education.

Great video love it! no need to defend Steely Dan from those deaf to genius

There are quite a few people who are great musical minds who seem automatically turned off to them. I guess I make a plea so they will at least watch the video and learn something

I noticed also that the C Maj 7th to the G add2 over B sounds a lot like the chords used in Peg. Am I wrong?

Are the first two chords of the verse to peg. Good ear!

The only issue is that Dan'a Aja is dated 1977 and Duran's Rio is 1989. So what you mean today is that Duran ripped off Dan - and not the other way round, as you suggest...

@TimSmolens Ай бұрын

Well I wouldn't be willing to say that anyone using a super common chord progression is stealing from anyone. The one thing Steely Dan did here was elevated that cord progression to the nth degree.

@toddlevin Ай бұрын

@@TimSmolens Two thoughts - 1.) I think in the context of pop music harmony at that time it would be safe to say that the 1977 Dan progression of ten chords that opens 'Deacon Blues' is anything but "super common"; and 2.) I thought your suggestion was that Dan was riffing off of Duran, but it's clearly chronologically the other way round (if it's even happening at all)...

I was already a fan of Supertramp at 16 when my older female neighbor, who l cut her grass(l actually DID mow their lawn), so get your minds outta the gutter. Gave me my first Steele Dan album, "Can't buy a Thrill" when she found out l was a fan of Supertramp. I bought every album they ever made after my first introduction with the CBAT album. And to hear you say you DIDN'T LIKE this band hurts. You, Sir, have no taste in good Jazz or new age music. I could list dozens of bands that you most likely have never heard thar you would, again say you hate. Well, the bands and l do not care for your opinions as you clearly need help with appreciation of fine unique products of music! 😢
