I’ve uploaded several songs of Steely Dan and what I like about Reelin’ in the years is that it has got a really steady shuffle bassgroove! The notes in the maingroove (for instance ar 1-4) has got the same notes as a lot of bluesgrooves (root-octave-sixt-fifth). The ‘secret’ of this groove are the staccato notes played on every first eight note of a beat. And how wonderful ‘easy’ the groove is in the Chorus: just rootnotes and octaves. The challenge with the maingrooves is in playing it disciplined and steady in the rhythm.
Also the position of the left hand in the maingroove as played in bar 1-4 is important. The ‘secret’ here is to not move your left hand too much. Play the groove on the G chord in the second position and the groove of the A-chord in the fourth position. In this way you will be able to play the fast triplets!
And ofcourse the bassline of the Verse is really fun to play! It’s a syncopated line (it starts before the first and third beat).
In bar 91-96 Walter is really on his best with the high notes during the solo. This is really really fun to play!
I’ve also uploaded a Bass & Drums only version of this song on my channel. Please go to:

BasscoverPete- Do you think you can create a bass tab for another great Steely Dan Song- Midnight cruiser? I've learned all your other tabs. This would be another great one to add to your collection. Thanks!

[@basscoverpete]

@@mr.tuckers2848 thanks for your comment and suggestion 👍 Midnight cruiser is a great song and I’ll certainly add it on my wishlist. I don’t know if I already mentioned it to you, but I’ve got about 200 transcriptions on my website www.basscoverpete.com Thanks again for the suggestion and greetings from the Netherlands, Pete

I'm really jealous of your fretting hand!

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Neil, Thanks for your comment and compliment 👍 Doing as less as possible and anticipating on the next notes/position is the ‘secret’ I think. Thanks again, Pete www.basscoverpete.com 🎵🎶

Even een speel tip voor jou: ua-cam.com/video/wFl4S41gb1o/v-deo.html Lee Fields - Ladies. Dit is echt een hele lekkere bass cover. Al een paar keer live gezien. Dit is de beste levende vertolker van de soul na James Brown wat mij betreft. Hij heeft ook een mini docu over zijn leven gemaakt. Prachtige kleurrijke figuur!
