BRILLIANT!!!!

[n2motocross]

The Johnny A signature Gibson, and your playing does Steely Dan justice! thanks for uploading!

[Rodeopain]

VERY cool man. I remember that tune as one of my favs from that time. You nailed that one perfectly. I've been playing for around 36 yrs & I'm gonna be looking at your vid as I learn this one. I've always been self-taught - no internet when I started - G Bebop Dominant, eh? I always wondered about this solo - I'd love to pick your brain (no pun intended) on this. Sincere Thanks from an "old" timer.

[WilliamWallaceClaymo]

Awesome!!!!!!

[gitfiddle87]

that's cool but i noticed you cut it short? haha!

[skipper8257]

You SHOUD go on tour with Fagen, Becker. Great Job.

[J4K2323]

NICE AX!

[prtzlgc]

Hey I only stop when it takes my breath away and you did.. Great rhythm

[deweypug]

Absolutely sick!  Great job.

[FFXGuitar]

do u know what scale the solo is played in?

[marshmellowmix]

just a complete guess but i think G

[70soloman]

The solo is based on a G Bebop Dominant scale

[Phlemberg]

@70soloman Well isn't there also the G blues scale in their quite a few times?

[nochartmozart]

Johnny A custom? Schweeet! Sounds great and you do it justice as well.

[barefoot3646]

excellent

[costaricangeneral]

beautiful guitar

[sam420girl]

Loved it so much I added a link to it on my website. And for a bonus, aren't his fingers HOT!!

[efeeley]

An all time classic solo played on whats destined to become an all time classic instrument...

[bubblerings]

I wish it didn't stop at 1:14! -Five stars.

[M0Echitlins]

BY Jove you kicked ass...you have your pinky very well trained my brotha

[lesmorrison]

Great stuff.

A fitting tribute to Denny.

[Galidan]

Nice picking, ace. BTW, I adore your guitar.

[guitmarc54]

very cool dude.

[mattmax123]

Hey Andy, It's Matt. What a bitchin' guitar. I've just recently delved into the world of Steely Dan. So I've been inspired to start learning a bunch of jazz licks and scales.

[rorshakks]

Primo!

[whitefeet1]

Frickin' Steely Dan got me though the 70s.... sounds great!

[acippico]

I've been playing and practicing for 30 years and I'll never sound as good as this.

Absolutely superb rendition!

[rorshakks]

awesome. denny would be proud.

[jhanlon18]

Cant see your face. Youre not Jon Herrington are you? Thats fantastic man! More please.

[jackeminor]

Fly here to Austin and show how to play that shit, my man. Too cool.

[70soloman]

In a word...Smooth

[sheracad]

right on! great JOB bro!

keep going!

[7669jp]

Nice tone! Are you using flat wound or round wound strings?

[70soloman]

Steel round wounds- rock and roll baby! The Johnny A model is a solid top - like an L5. That's the tone you're hearing. I aquired it almost a year ago and I can still smell that freshly milled maple top! I save the flat wounds for my ES-175 - laminated top.

[7669jp]

I also have a Johnny A. model. Serial number 80. Love the tone, but I'm having a hard time getting used to the swith position. Still using my repro 59 Les Paul. Thinking about putting flats on the Johnny A. to experiment a little.

[polishcomedy]

Excellent!

[italianstalionpw]

Kilt that my man. With feeling too, not like the toto shit.

[jobaby51]

Good stuff!
