I went a year without playing this song and it was so nice seeing your post. Again I love your shut up and play style with tabs. It only took a couple minutes to remember the song thanks to your work providing tabs. Thanks again, my friend
When you played it again after a year did you shut up and play it, or did you do an annoying amount of talking first? My guess is you shut up and played it, because I can tell you get annoyed with guitar lesson videos where they recite a full length documentary about the band and song before FINALLY getting to the lesson, then talk about every note, chord, scale, mode, trill, pull off, hammer on, anf arpeggio, and their place in music theory in nauseating detail so it takes 30 minutes just to get through the intro. Okay, okay, I know. I need to shut up and play. Sorry. 🤐😂✌🤘
@@iluvdaguitar I shouldn't be so critical. I honestly believe some people are born with a gift and others have to work hard to play music. I know people who need to have the song broken down and explained and I know people who want to know everything about the song. I have a friend I can't talk to because he knows everything. Mention a song and he will tell you how the amp is set and the history of every musician most have had interest in. In my opinion, shit up and play the song and then do the talking. If your video is a song I want to learn or refresh my memory on you get my views and break it down at the end and you get the guys that need you to break it down and I might watch the rest of the video while rehearsing the song. I hate making videos. I hate the tech part. I just want to play. Hehehe
Well played! I just learned this, can I suggest a couple of corrections? When it sings "girls say when" the first chord on "girls" is G/C instead of Em7. In the chorus where you play Baugb9 if you play B7#5b9 at the 7th fret you get the flat 7 as a bonus chord tone. For the last chord of the chorus I'm quite certain it is a B7#9#5 played at 2nd. I play the F#7#9 that comes before it at the 4th fret so it's a short jump to the 2nd fret. These same two chords are at the end of the bridge section as well. just before the lead break. I'm nitpicking but I can't help myself, I'm a hopeless note nerd!
@@darrenmuso2621 Any song can be played many ways, as there's many ways to make each chord, but I've not seen two people teach this song the same way yet, however I think the bulk of his chord choices sound better than the others I've heard.
Holy Moly!!! You are using "working musician" chords. I had watched a few of the other videos of this song, and was shocked at how guys were doing the right chords, but the long way around. UA-cam is fraught with guys showing they know these tough inversions, that while they work, are not practical. Really happy to see how you used the common sense A/D G/C D/G and C/F. Really nice and simple. Thank you for this! I really enjoyed it, and will be referring folks wanting to "learn songs" to your page.
A/D is A maj chord with low D bass note? Depending how you finger the chord also looks like (Dmaj 7 chord) without maj 3rd? F# in D maj is 3rd. Yet I don’t know the name of the chord unless it’s A/D?? Wear that chord out
You got that Em7 funk groove down perfect. I still have a little trouble keeping it tight. It's really not noticeable by non guitarists but I notice it.😢
If those chords were a painting they'd be a work of art ! I can play this song on guitar and it always makes me smile , Donald of course writes on the piano but still . Amazing
Dude, your relaxed playing style made that look simple...and I know Steely Dan songs arent easy songs to master.. and the little chord charts are perfect... nice work!!
Thank you for this great lesson! Your intro is easy to follow with the chord box on the screen. I play the chorus part a bit differently, but your chords work too.
let's just say Larry Carlton mr. 335 lay down a lot of the Great lakes along with Dean parks on the rhythm but do you got that sound out of an Ibanez.. as a lover of Ibanez guitars I have to say that was awesome
Brother, thaks so much for your great tribute to Donald Fagen Walther Becker and the rest of these legends. You posted some great work. I just want to thank you for sharing
Larry Carlton plays Fmaj7(9) F#7#9 for the first two chords like you did, but the last two are D/G and Abmaj13. You sounded so close most would notice, but try it with the D/G and Abmaj13. You'll hear the difference. I'm not trying to disparage your playing. It sounds great, but just give it a shot. It sounds better.
JONATHAN ELI ^^ ;;;; just to make it clean the steely dan MU chords means major 9th chords or minor 9th chords? Does the MU chords always resolve to a 7th chord or something? not sure what steely dan trademark MU technique is when resolving the MU chords?
He missed 2 very important notes in the Funk riff after the 2nd chorus.It plays G A ,D E G x2 then there's a rest of two 8th notes & play a sneaky little A & B before repeating the G A ,D E G 1 more time.
Hey, its an Ibanez Rg970 WFMZ-TFD. reverb.com/item/4575664-ibanez-rg970wfmz-tfd-premium-guitar-w-softcase-rg970-free-world-shipping this is my exact guitar.
are you strumming that with the thumb and index or all thumb the clicks seem to be upstrokes which are tricky with jd3s but it appears your doing this with thumb Walter would be proud Fagen would show no mercy lol the chords in Deacon are all mofo chords you know bout the MU chords but thems some MOFO club chords in Deacon..
Finally someone covers the rhythm guitar part of Josie. That's the part that first drew me to the song.
💯💯💯
You make it easy to learn. Thanks from a 58 yr old SD fan.
How many rock songs use a Baug (b9) chord? Good grief the harmonic vocabulary of SD is incredible.
Damn nice work! By far the BEST Steely Dan tutorials on UA-cam! Thank you, finally someone gets it!
Dude at very end is killin' me. He's like "yeah, I got this".

Love your chord boxes, excellent work, thanks for posting 🎸
Excellent. The best Josie cover on You Tube. Good chord charts. Thx man
Some difficult chords on the 2nd and 3rd frets in the intro
you’ve made so more easily for me to play . Just genius chord progressions.
Top work, easy to follow, no time wasting chit chat! Thank you.
Dude, your relaxed playing style made that look simple...and I know Steely Dan songs arent easy songs to master.. and the little chord charts are perfect... nice work!!
Happy to be the 1,000th like for this stellar video!
These videos are great Jonathan!! I hope you continue doing these!
Thanks for this, I learned a whole new song today!
Very nice. Love this format. FYI- ditch that exposed partical board. It off-gases very bad chemicals. Replace with non-treated solid hardwood.
Nice! I love the chords changes flashing on the wall and you're a good showman too. . .thanks
Is it AbM13 instead o f G#M9.Just asking?
Thanks so much for putting up these videos, I love steely dan. The chords are deliciously new to me, lots to learn thanks for sharing.
Working Peg right now gonna try this one next.
You have really inspired me.
Great stuff. No waffle or over complication. Sounds reasonably accurate. Many thanks.
Steely Dan always picked the perfect musicians for each song, that’s why Aja is a classic. Larry Carlton was perfect on Josie.
Toda rabah... So much enjoyed. Excellent Covers. B' H.🔯
Thank you for this great lesson! Your intro is easy to follow with the chord box on the screen. I play the chorus part a bit differently, but your chords work too.
Fun to play bass along with you....thanks
Excellent!
Made this so easy and great playing!! Cheers!
Hello. Thanks so much for this video . You make playing the guitar a lot more of a good time . I hope you have more coming
good to jam along to, clean precise guitar work..thanks
So helpful to show the chords.
I never liked this song, but really appreciating the guitar now
That cord at 1:54 is my favorite, every time
Awesome- thanks! Great playing
Very fine music.
let's just say Larry Carlton mr. 335 lay down a lot of the Great lakes along with Dean parks on the rhythm but do you got that sound out of an Ibanez..
as a lover of Ibanez guitars I have to say that was awesome
thx for the tutorial - finally i speak steeley
dan
Sounds so good
Ok watching 25 times in a row to learn this tune then Peg and Deacon.
Dont take me alive Kid Charlie Mein.
Brother, thaks so much for your great tribute to Donald Fagen Walther Becker and the rest of these legends.
You posted some great work. I just want to thank you for sharing
Some fancy chording there!
Excellent All Around... Donald will get back to you.
Great video , well played and thank you for the chords!!
Really good and super helpful
good clean playing..i can now show this to my guitarist...easy peasy :)
Got it play Em7 for 6 bars then layout until repeats.
Thanks for holding the door open. This tutorial did it.
Well done! Thank you!
Feeling the Ibanez S vibes.
Thank you. I quickly learned the chords to this song, but the 2 chords before the solo at 2:27 should be F#7(#9) and Baug(b9).
almost: F#7#9 is OK, B7#9#5 as opposed to the augmented chord
Thanks bud, much love!
Thanks
Jawoll !!! Hervorragend !! Abonniert !!
Thanks Jon
Thanks for posting!
Larry Carlton plays Fmaj7(9) F#7#9 for the first two chords like you did, but the last two are D/G and Abmaj13. You sounded so close most would notice, but try it with the D/G and Abmaj13.

« How many chords do you want for the chorus? »
« Yes »
oh....thank you THANK YOU
Great job! Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Great. But I really don't like hearing that B (on the D string) in the main Em7. I think the recording is done without it.
Thanks brother
Perfeito ! Parabéns !
Amazing job! Long live the Dan
I like this better F maj7(9), F#7(#9), Gmaj7(9), same chord fingering half step UP G#maj7 (#9).
Holy shit this song is cool
Cheers man!!!
wow great playing man, subscribed!
Way cool !!!
Yup, Walter would be proud.
D
The Larry Carlton voicings are quite different.
Good point
Brilliant! Subbed.

Man some of the best guitar players to ever live sat with Walter and Don. Larry Carlton being one of the absolute titans.
please someone tell me what model of Ibanez guitar that is? :)

Can you make a cover for Aja?
Baug(b9)
Fagen and Becker were uniquely crafty artists...all that complex harmony packed into a consumable package. Awesome!
Pretty good
bravo mon vieux clair limpide efficace!
Can you believe that this vid even got 3 negs..what the...🤔
Get *OUT* of your bedroom -- and OUT to form a *band*. 😎🎸🥁🎹
i think this is the correct way to play the last chord (G#) in the intro: ua-cam.com/video/ZF64H9Nk3cw/v-deo.html
Suprised they don't give you a hassle for fair use or whatever.
are you strumming that with the thumb and index or all thumb the clicks seem to be upstrokes which are tricky with jd3s but it appears your doing this with thumb Walter would be proud Fagen would show no mercy lol the chords in Deacon are all mofo chords you know bout the MU chords but thems some MOFO club chords in Deacon..
Nice. What city do you live. I busk and would not mind playing with you.
I don't suppose there is a chord chart using the chords Mr Eli uses?
Bravo. Potevi rifare il letto, pero'.....
Jesus, I suck on guitar!
