    Hi there everybody, glad to be back and publish you folks, something new once more ;^) ♪
    The moral of this comment is that with determination,
    most of the time you'll find a solution when facing significant problems and hurdles. ♪
    ---------------------------------------
    I sincerely put a tremendous amount of effort and time putting these lessons/advanced guitar chord tutorials together, ♪
    So after 50 hours of work producing this *Green Flower Street* tutorial, (over the original track from the album),
    as I tried to upload it five weeks ago, I faced my second worldwide BLOCK on UA-cam/from WMG copyrights owners,
    (the other was *Maxine* from the same album and I have a solution for this problem too, coming soon) ♪
    The song did survive for four hours before being banned from UA-cam and/or copyright owners WMG
    (thanks for the only comment I got from my faithful SEBscriber Mr.FARKOSH and the four who LIKED (LOL...!)) ♪
    ----------------------------------------
    So I was again discouraged by not being permitted to show all this work, but I ambitiously decided to
    take the bull by the horns and recreate the skeleton of this fantastic song in a KARAOKE style.♪
    It required me an extra 20+ hours of work, trying to emulate/program Wendel and Jeff Pocaro's dynamic drum track, and recreate
    the atmosphere of all the guitars being played in this masterpiece, as accurate in the aesthetics of their sounds and interpretation.♪
    Still, my Judecaster guitar is always used, and for the extra guitar parts, I used my CASIO PG380 guitar with my BOSS ME-70 pedalboard.♪
    ---------------------------------------
    Therefore in the end I'm incredibly proud of the results
    (even though I ain't no Roger Nichols as a sound engineer (Lol..!),
    but the mix is pretty good, and it's groovy to my liking.♪
    Because one thing that is fun to play over their original tracks,
    it's that they ALL sound so good quality sound-wise, and it's so fun to learn over pleasant recordings.♪
    I hope I did an excellent job of honoring their undeniable quest for unmatched, legendary consistent, and warmful recording sessions.♪
    ---------------------------------
    So the happy ending is that after having done/crafted the whole tutorial alone
    (+ the help (in the description) for the BASSLINE + KEYBOARD) , it's that it's monetizable, (my first true one, the others aren't)♪
    I'll be quite happy to see and experience my first donation through the THANKS BUTTON option (a little right of LIKE BUTTON).♪
    I'm delighted this option now exists on my channel,
    because I know it's not everybody who wants to commit to a monthly Patreon contribution
    (I understand, but heck!, now there's this feature (GREAT)) ♪
    Peace always, stay tuned; the best is yet to come constantly. Respect ;^) ♪

      So your first post included the original track in the background - and since you had the “Thanks “ button up - is that why ya got flagged for copywriter?? And no flag since you include only your own playing??

      @@TimMeyerMusic Hi there, mein Freund Tim ;^) ♪
      To be honest these depressing/severe measures (worldwide YT blocking),
      only happened with two songs of *The Nightfly* album Maxine + Green Flower Street,
      because of the Copyright owners WMG is more severe (I guess?)
      then those who own the Steely Dan catalog. (MCA records (I think?)) ♪
      Regarding the THANKS BUTTON, it's only allowed when you have a certain amount (1000+) of SEBscribers
      + more than 4000 hours of viewing in 12 months. ♪
      But above that, UA-cam will ONLY allow the THANK button, if there are absolutely NO copyright claims for the video.♪
      -----------------------
      I don't mind not having the THANK button, as long as I can show my work to all you folks. (Though, NOW because of this new monetizable THANKS button feature, the idea of creating the backing tracks, lurks in the back of my ambitions. (I'll see?)) ♪
      Out of thirty-five + tutorials so far, only three have a THANKS button,
      *No Reply* (Beatles) + *Maxine* (me alone at guitar) and now *Green Flower Street*
      because I created the backing tracks and/or played alone.♪
      ------------------------------
      I've been technically flagged for ALL my (unmonetizable) tutorials played over the originals songs,
      but never a YT strike, (which this one is no good, and that I don't want to get in any ways.),♪
      But not being able to show (worldwide blocking) my work, when I spend at least 50 to 60 hours on each,
      it's tremendously frustrating/such a momentum killer. ♪
      --------------------
      But as my comment said they are always solutions with determination and/or never surrender.♪
      I'm proud of my work, and I care to show it to you all (unconditionally), and for the next generations to come, too.♪
      Heck, so many boomers (+ GenX adults like me), are so glad, (after a long time) to now dare to undertake to learn some of their songs, because of these 24/7 available self-explanatory visual lessons.
      (+ thanks to UA-cam and their fantastic option of slowing down the playback speed in their settings) ♪
      -----------------------------------
      As far as the last three remaining songs of *The Nightfly* album; I.G.Y + New Frontier + The Nightfly;
      I will never take the chance to upload them over the originals, I'll have to produce all the backing tracks
      if I want to complete (and I will) the totality of the album (ALL the songs are (IMO) soooo.. flabbergastingly amazing)♪

    MrFARKOSH, sincere thanks for the comment you've left me in the comment section of the other version of *Green Flower Street*
    that only survived for a couple of hours before being blocked worldwide by UA-cam + WMG (copyrights owners) ♪
    So might as well rewrite your super kind, humbling and thoughtful interaction here, amigo ;
    *My dear Sebastien, I see you have been doing more than playing golf this summer!
    However, the ever-present black vest you are wearing makes me ask: Did you begin your latest Donald Fagan project last winter?
    Nevertheless, you’re the best at what you do. But, the memory test, though very interesting,
    was too much after one presentation for my old memory, and my older fingers!
    As always, great sound, great timing, and great technique,
    and great to see and hear another deep cut from the most talented assembly of musicians.
    I didn’t see Caesar among the group. What gives?
    Thank you for keeping the Fagen/Becker/Steely Dan sound alive.*
    -------------------------------------
    Peace + respect, mein Freund MrFarkosh, truly appreciated, and BTW, I like the idea of including *Ceasar*,
    anyway he's always somewhere around me when I work on the content of this channel.♪ ;^) ♪

      Greetings again, my fellow Tim amigo ;^) ♪
      I think I'll steal from your clever description, meaning reincarnation (love it) of these unique SD masterpieces.♪
      If there's something that SD nails constantly, it's their exquisite taste for warmful groovy songs, one after the other.♪
      Though I'm getting to notice a few familiar chord progression patterns in their compositions,
      but in all, they are ALL really unique from one the other.♪
      -----------------------
      I tend to prefer their latest stuff/post AJA, but there's always more than one surprise per song, and a lot of research on their parts.♪
      One thing I can confidently attest to is that the more I produce tutorials of them,
      the more I learn and improve my knowledge and skills unequivocally, so must all of you folks, too guaranteed ♪
      Candies for our ears, and stimulation for our musical synapses.♪

      Your experience of learning the rhythms and chord phrasings that flow thru many SD tunes very much echoes my own - and so much to discover and learn in their music. And yet as you say their is so much variety in their songs - more so than many bands. Yes their last two albums really expand on their music.
      Steely Dan Forever ……..I think you are making a real contribution for players who want to learn this great music.

      ---------------------------------
      This album *The Nightfly* is totally, astonishingly, and amazingly good.
      The musical and sound quality craftmanship is unmatched and/or
      will be guaranteed regarded in the history as of one the best musical recording production ever (IMO).♪
      I have three more songs of this album to animate, before completing its entirety.
      Though I faced many UA-cam hurdles (and the WMG copyrights owners) worldwide blocks, *Green Flower Street* was one of them. *Maxine* and *Ruby Baby* were the other two. (knowing it never happened with any of the other Steely Dan songs),♪
      I still have enough passion for this album, that I will commit, to creating the backing tracks (more work) for the three songs remaining *I.G.Y* + *The Nightfly*, and *New Frontier* ♪
      I won't even try to upload any of them over the original music, knowing they'll block it.♪
      So stay tuned, for the completion of this album within 2023 for sure.♪

      Thanks a super bunch for your much-appreciated comment, sir ♪
      As I wrote in my pinned comment, I got blocked worldwide when I uploaded *Green Flower Street* over the original music.
      It certainly is a momentum killer, when you put over 50 hours into a single lesson and can not present it.
      But nonetheless, I couldn't leave that work in oblivion and found a solution that required more work and editing.♪
      It's definitely nice to be back, but if it wasn't for the experience of those two worldwide blocked tutorials I produced
      (the other one is *Maxine* from the same album) I would have published at least four or five more tutorials in 2022.♪

      Wow, you've collaborated with my ultimate versatile drummer Keith Carlock (and/or hired him?) fantastic,
      and I did enjoy a lot your Under Shabby Bridge video and its musical content. (respect) ♪
      The only criticism I'd say about the mix (which ain't a bad one at all because so well recorded), is that (IMO) I would have put Keith louder (lol..), but don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant production which obviously and undeniably you've put a tremendous amount of work, passion, and dedication in (respect). ♪

      =========================================

      Before that, I had weekly musical jams with fellow musicians here around where I live in the Laurentian mountains (one hour north of Montréal Québec, Canada), but since the lockdowns, and fellow friends aging in their fifties, not much is happening musically with me for the last three years, other than producing my 45 Steely Dan tutorials (which has (by default) skyrocketed many aspects of my musical guitarist skills and music knowledge A LOT) ♪

    Is it possible to wetransfer the original video with the singing again, as you did for me for the last Fagen tune, I know UA-cam doesn't allow you to upload his stuff, weird. Much appreciated! What if you provided a wetransfer link in the description for us, surely that would work? Even if you just leave out the www. at the beginning, we would know just to add that prefix to the rest of the link.

      Therefore it wouldn't be practical,
      and the beauty and magic for folks to learn these songs on this SEB/EDIT UA-cam channel (and others),
      is that you can slow down the playback speed without changing the pitch.♪
      ------------------------------
      Once a tutorial is finished, for practicing and refresh my memory,
      I don't even look at my tutorial from my computer anymore,
      I always go on my channel for references, and to be able to practice slowly,
      and go to specific chapters/events of the songs swiftly for more efficiencies learning-wise.♪
