The reelin in the years intro and even the outro leads are out there aren't they....I think they are so cool. I would have never thought of some of those notes...but then again most of Steely Dan's music seems to be over my head, Josie is a great one to jam on though...you gotta give those two,
Becker and Fagen credit. Incredible scores and heck, check out their choices of guitar players over the years...even had Will Lee doing bass on Chain lightning. And let's not forget the Skunk.
As far as easy songs to rock out...try early Aerosmith...
Train kept a rollin'
Walking the dog
Mamakin
and even dream on is fairly easy....
Sure was some good old simple rock and roll....
we had more fun playing and playing with these songs.
