- How to Play the Best Guitar Intro Ever! I believe Larry Carlton’s guitar intro to Steely Dan’s “Don’t Take Me Alive” to be amongst the best guitar intros ever. Great note choice, unique bends, Larry Carlton signature triad moves. It’s all there and the best thing is that it’s actually all done in a simple framework, so it’s easy to understand!

In the past 6 months, this has become my most listened-to Dan song. It liked it when I first bought the LP in '76. I avoided listening to it too much because it was so dark and I was young living on a diet of Lenny Bruce and Steely Dan. That darkness and beauty reminds me a lot of Carlos Santana.
Love the wall mural.
Thanks! Local artist.
Super well done video., I am gen-z person but love steely dan so much. Their music is truly amazing and some of the best rock/jazz/blues fusion ever!
Thanks so much! You have great taste in music!
Long been one of my favorite rock solos! Thanks for teaching it so clearly! And exactly correct.
Thanks so much David!
I've always loved this song, one of my favorites from one of my favorite bands!
Me too!
Great tune
Best teacher!!!!! Mahalo!!!
Thanks!!
Awesome, very well done! Thank you for the tutorial, it was excellent
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Mark, Great video, I played it in a rehearsal and I missed a few changes. So I came back and actually played it with you note for note. Thank you Mark
I think we are both from New York
Not too bad Zabel. 45-year guitar player here. First electric guitar was a mid-60's ES-335 12-string. Bought it at Richard's Guitar in Livonia, MI, $300, July 3, 1976 (honest to God; you never forget your first Gibson). But... I am a LAZY guitar player. If only I had UA-cam back in the day... I would be awesome today. Still a hack but getting better thanks to YOUR videos. Thank you Mark. Sir Winston of Locksley. Oh, never had 12 strings on that guitar, ever. The nut is 1-9/16, crazy narrow for a 12-string.
Thanks Sir Winston! My first Gibson is the one you see in the video. 1982 ... last year they made them in Kalamazoo. Bought it new from Castiglione's Accordions on the east side of Detroit. Still remember the boxes and boxes of stuff - all stacked on top of each other. The opposite of any retail today and more like an attic. I bought a 335 because of ... Larry Carlton!
Great lesson, thanks!
Thanks Phil. Glad you liked it!
Great Lesson, Mark. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
“...Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones...”
Excellent stuff my man...one of my all time favorites!!!!!
Thanks Larry! It's definitely one of my all time faves as well. I meant what I said - the decision to learn this on my own when I was 17 or 18 BT (Before Tab) was hugely helpful in my development as a player. I found this intro very inspirational!
@@MarkZabel ...same here... I learned so much copying Larry’s stuff...those double-stop bends and finger twisting runs he does...I sat for hours as a kid hunched over the record player moving the needle back !!!!
Brilliant. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the picture on your wall. Lessons are good too.
Thanks!
Great !
Played for a few years then sold everything (i miss everything). This is '80.
Move and back at it. Band, gear, gigs.
Along the way a LC bit. Buy a Memphis (please don't laugh) blk 335 type. Set neck. Good guitar.
Did i get anywhere ? Nope Just wanted Room 335.
Excellent job
Thanks!
I've made it my mission to learn this note for note. Amp of choice: My '69 Marshall Plexi, cranked.
My favorite guitar intro to a Steely Dan song is Josie. I believe also played by Larry Carleton
That's a good one and memorable, though Aja is too much jazz and not enough rock for my taste. I think it's Larry Carlton playing that, but Dean Parks is also on it ... and Walter Becker plays the solo on it. Thanks for watching and for the insight!
There is a rig run down video of Larry Carlton by Premier Guitar. In this video Larry shows us the tweed amp he used for the Steely Dan recordings. It is available on UA-cam.
Great.
Thank you very much for this exciting and very useful video.
@@larsfocken3456 Sure thing!
Really well done. I’d love to see the rest of that song in a follow up lesson.
Thanks Frank! I'll put it on the list!
Thanks it was the one I mentioned too!😊
Sure thing.
Good one👍
Thanks ✌️
There's a video of Larry playing it live where he says he had to learn his own solo so he could play it.
Yep. He's amazing.
Great one! I think he used a modded Princeton. Heard of Slowhand, obviously but Oldhands Zabel doesn't sound like a good nickname!
Thanks for the info on equipment! You always know that stuff with amazing precision!
LOL! Hey, when you're over 40, you've got to take care of your hands. Warm up and so forth. Trying to tie your hands into knots to play exactly what someone else played when a totally reasonable alternative that's much easier and healthier is available - that's for the young! :)
Thanks for watching!
@Mark Zabel yep. Got a Birthday today and can relate to the over 40 hand care for sure. Helps on a 335 compared to a Fender 7.5 radius neck.
I been chasing Larry Carlton’s tone my whole life...he’s one of the greats!!!
Yeaaaaaaaaah man!!
Larry Carlton was also the reason i ve always tried to improve my playing never be anywhere near but fun to play some of his stuff i can
Huge influence for me. And yes, always working on it! Thanks for watching.
This is definitely one of the coolest solos ever, thanks so much for teaching it! There's only one problem... I've been trying to learn guitar about a year now, and all these bends are killing my fingers!!!!
You're welcome. Make sure you're using light strings. And take a break when it starts to hurt!
get some Ernie Ball super slinkys, they've helped me alot with bending
The Hollies "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress"!
That's a great one for sure!
Great video. I've never been a huge Steely Dan fan (as my dad would listen to it on repeat on long car rides), but this video is pushing me to have another listen. Any album recommendations to start?
Thanks Josh! It sort of depends. If you like more rock, then Katy Lied or The Royal Scam are good to start with. If you like the jazzy stuff, then Aja.
I prefer the "rock" side myself, but that's me.
Royal Scam the entire album, Can't buy a thrill has a nice solo on "Do it again". Also "Reelin in the years" is great too. They had a 4 CD greatest hits collection with tons of stuff.
Hi Mark what year is your 335?
Great lesson!
It's a 1981 or 1982. I forget. It was the last year they made them in Kalamazoo. It's definitely my "baby"!
Thank you!
You bet!
@@MarkZabel Just to add I appreciate the alternate fingering for those of us who might be denying our age.
How about the guitar intro to "Don't stop to watch the wheels go round" by The Doobie Bro's?
Yeah, good one. Not well-known.
Hard to disagree! Larry is one of the best!
No doubt!
Dam.i didn't know John Stewart can shred
LOL!
At the end when you play it through it would have much better to have had the backing chords
Thanks for the feedback. I get both requests so I balance the two. The backing chords obscure the sound for many, but for some they help to understand how chord tones are being used and/or how changes are being played through. I do both on the member's site, but for UA-cam it kills the algorithm to do both. I switch back and forth. It also depends upon the availability/cost of obtaining the backing track and/or the difficulty of making it myself.
@@MarkZabel it would be bound to be complicated (Steely Dan) but we love it👨🏻🦳
Oh,yeaaah,white room335
