Me playing Bodhisattva

[nachoromero17]

this is one of my favorite songs and you rocked it

you should make a video where you show how to play it

[FBlackRules]

Good job on one of the best solos ever IMO.

[makeajoyousnoise]

I know this video is 5 years old, but I just found it for the first time while looking for something else. DAMN! What luck to find this! You totally rocked it!

[Boddissatva]

[trugritt]

top 5 leads of all time.. that dude smoked his guitar in the 70's and you are shredding in the 2000's...SWEEEEET

[rbgiantfan]

Absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing this - one of my favorite songs by my favorite band.

[tyleryesta1]

definitely one of Steely's best guitar solos on record... I also love the one on "Do It Again" 

[Vraya]

Nice chinstrap/neckbeard/mullet combo. You look like a total ladykiller. XD

[kaylynstar99]

you remind me of my brother. he likes steely dan and metallica

[sjlarcadia]

Amazing man. :) Did you pick the solo by ear?

[macleok4]

[voodooracecargirl]

[pfarina]

[mickdallavee]

Great job amigo - that's not an easy song to cop...

[ihaveaclone]

[pintadopedro]

no emotion =)

[pintadopedro]

[spartan117halofreak]

Played it well... lol just didn't seem the type of song you'd play :P

[cdh88]

sweet, you nailed it man

[ChrisKelly12969]

Not Fuckin' Bad Dude!!!!

[JacobLampman777]

Can someone tell me what key the solo is in? Or what scales are used?

[akamedhjalm]

in the a-part of the solo its G-major or g-mixolydian, you can play a s.major scale over that and then when the b-part of the solo starts it is g minor or sometimes d superlokrics(i think), im from sweden so dont mind that i spell wrong :p

[JacobLampman777]

Thanks! Thats exactly what I wanted. '

[akamedhjalm]

Your welcome! it it is c- major not s! you can also play a g-minor penta scale and add the minor 5 on the apart! it is a little bluesy sometimes so it works!

[akamedhjalm]

you can also search on bodhisattva cover and click on the link at the top, theres some improv. that you can check out! /Filip

[rainbows2shadows]

Perfect.

[duckillerisere]

good cover u also look liked the rock band drummer someguy913 at that angle

[JordanFreeman112]

[Lunchb0xSupremeSH]

Great job but oh the irony of this video.

[Livetokill123456]

[randallcaster]

Good job. A little fudging in a couple aresa, but I ain't bitching. Good to know younger guys appreciate great music enough to study the dans music. I play thier stuff everyday.

Now go to the live version and transcribe Herington's solo! jazz/rock at it's best!

[HadesWTF]

I like your hat and shirt. LOL

Great job though dude. Excellent skills.

[MUSESQ]

You restore my faith in the talent and taste of the younger generation. I would say that you are pretty much a virtuoso

[foxiedays]

[Shotgunnova]

Dude, that is amazing!

[fairyman54321]

[jkecskes]

Nice job.

[patubo]

Superb Solo!

Can you do a video for how to play that???

[prtzlgc]

This is good. Very tight and smooth.  Love it. This is one of my all time fav songs. You really did it justice

[matttheking]

Very cool. Nice to see that Steely Dan has relevance even in the world of Metallica T-shirts :) Great job. I've played a few Steely Dan songs in my band in the past, great stuff. Now we're talking about doing this one. I hope it nail as well as you did.

[wwwjdish]

Nice job Bro! Dead On!

[SIXSTRING63]

Sorry for all the posts! I did not think they were going through right.Been having problems with posts lately.

[SIXSTRING63]

Nice job !!! good to see a young dude diggin' some Steely Dan

[SIXSTRING63]

Nice job! I've been playing for 30+years and I wish I could have nailed that solo like that at your age.I was in my mid twenties before my chops were up to snuff to get that solo!!!

[SIXSTRING63]

Nice job! I've been playing for 30+years and I wish I could have nailed that solo like that at your age.I was in my mid twenties before my chops were up to snuff to get that solo!!!

[randallcaster]

Excellent! Loved it! I love hearing younger guys play this music.

[sruizmier]

Muy bien !!

[lilnextelcupfan]

Totally Awesome Dude! What a kick! That is some very excellent stuff!

[lynntracey]

As a guitar teacher I can totally see that you KNOW what you're doing...your technique is amazing and you use the correct fingers and positions on top of just rippin the heck out of this solo flawlessly! Rock on!

[Dave00789]

Damn man! I love it; cargo shorts metallica t and a squire rippin steely dan. Sick

[septicbrainstem]

Dude......FKN incredible! So much talent, you go bro!

[skipper8257]

Great job, Denny would be proud

[TheRealRVG]

Nice playing, but you've got to stop biting your nails. Very embarrassing.

[sharatt0008]

lol...biting nails.

[DragQueenFetishGirl]

wow..this is not easy to play! and i know! can i likke...wow

[smittsteve04]

Well you definitely know what youre doing so don't be offended when I say what a geniusly simple guitar solo...its so chromatically based for the most part. I never thought of that before.

[jefflynyrd]

All I can say is WOW...

[roadofrarotonga]

Ace man! Have you considered joining Steely Dan's touring lineup?

[chevynut72]

great tribute excellent work You are obviously a die hard Steely Dan Fan Kutos

[jhanlon18]

Brilliant work man!

[V8MeatHead]

Wow that's a hard solo to play. Denny dias is a mad man and you nailed it. Good job!

[rossboss1]

Yeah, that's excellent.

[amishvalley]

Greezed light'nin. You've got a god given talent, there. Thanks for posting that. Reminds me of the fastest player I saw live, Ricky Scaggs. Then, back in the day, Alvin Lee. You are an inspiration! I'm with rushangus, Guitar Hero, fer sure. Good luck with your career. I searched for "Bodhisattva" and found it with this crab vid from Australia. It's kinda wierd, but the more I watched it, the more it made sense. "I GOT BLISSTUS ON ME FINGERS!" Rock on.....amish

[rushangus]

GREAT JOB...for a shitty Metallica looser wannabe! Play with FEELING!! Nice SHOES!!!

Just KIDDING...I REALLY did like it! Cool to see the "Younger Generation" embracing the musicality of 70's music! I am happy to see a young musician who is open to taking the time to learn some difficult instrumentation and not waste time with being the kid who kicks everyone's ass on "Guitar Hero". You are a real "Guitar Hero" because you can really play GUITAR!!! Rock On!

[biggernicholas]

Wow, spot on.

[GooglelyTube]

Two Thumbs Up! You deserve a MUCH nicer guitar! Really nice job on that song.

[simbafx]

absolutely fantastic, well done mate

[XzosiriszX]

excellent job dude, you just made a fan out of a black guy, for whatever thats worth.

[russelljupp]

Awesome!!!

[FCN933]

I like this very much, well done!

[statechic]

virtual high five man. Nice.

[countdamnation]

holy crap dude that was awesome. go steely dan

[exoticat]

Great job!! Love this Steely Dan song, possibly my favorite

[vegasrealtor1]

That was excellent playing!

[petunia74]

Incredible!

[embitteredshurpa]

great job... is denny dias your father(or grandfather) by any chance

[mdm172]

LOL. I was wondering the same thing

[grandfunkboy]

Great job! Keep plunkin away. The skull and crossbones on your guitar just prove those guys broke down a lot of barriers.

[daveworld98]

excellentttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttt

[DoctorFantastic]

Sounding GOOD, my man!

[NewMexicoSunset]

Props. Pulling off Walter Becker shit.

[johnnyzappa]

bend those strings sonny boy.............

[sneakypower]

That was excellent playing!

[darksideguy]

finally, a youtube cover that's actually good!

[osagie2]

Great stuff!You play the solo with a lot of feeling!!Right on son!!!!

Regards from Switzerland! A DAN FAN

[fartsplat]

Awesome brother!!! Keep it up!

[XaurreauX]

Judging by the shine in his Japan and the sparkle in his China, I would think so.

[noelstaar]

every note and inflection was perfect too bad one of your strings was out like a semi tone.. you need to play a better guitar than the squire...

[amishvalley]

He will ride his talent until he gets there. I play a Fender Squire fer fun. Not to worry, I liked the skull&bones. The old guy was playin a G36. definite advantage. Yea yea

[jkabel96]

shit hot**i dont think you missed anything there. you r a good player dude.

[magickrat]

DAMN BOY!!! You're way too good to be on You Tube! Get yourself a band & make yourself famous!!!

[youtellmegod]

AS Mr. Smithers would say, EXCELLENT!

[blougui]

Dude that's what Mr. Burns says.

[snoopgirl7]

Nicely Done!

[nsra1933]

very impressive

[markyboy890]

shame about his square fingers

[GaryNull]

lol

[DrApocalypse]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

[aliamay]

Dude...I want to have your kids.

[drifter85]

That was smoking! I hate to say "I play guitar" after watching someone who really knows how to play! The real beauty is here's someone, by looks, who doesn't appear to be a typical "dan fan" yet he nails this! Nice Job!

[casey6691]

drink your big black cow and get outta here...

[profilercms]

Great job dude!  Fantastic rendition of my all-time favorite.

[thrip]

cool!

[danelectroman70]

denny dias would be proud!  great job on matching tone of your amp to the actual recording.

[martinevans123]

superb

[wolfisloose]

Such a great guitar player deserves a better guitar!

[daviemcf]

Aw that was just out of this world man!!!thanks jcoolah.

[McCarty55]

AWESOME guy!! You did a fabulous job! Musta took hours of work/practice but you almost 100% nailed it. Hats off to you! Very impressive.

[italianstalionpw]

you're nasty as hell dude im proud to see some steely dan fans that are young like myslef we just need more in jerz.

[satan165]

ive been listening to steely dan for a while and ive been playing guitar for a while, as i watched chorus riffs i was immediately thinking 'whoa, i never realized how cool those figures are, i got to learn that' then the solo started and i figured you would crap out or something since you said 'most' of the song. however you have mastered that shit, holy fuck dude, well done!

[terribleyouth]

Freak yeah, dude. I never realized how insane that solo is, and I kind of can't believe it when I see you play it. According to the proverb, you're making it look easy, but there's definitely some weird science going on in your head. Rock on.

[nsra1933]

Damn good job mate! Geeze..you got talent bro!!

[benvye]

Have you heard George Wadenius's solo on that song on "Alive in America?" Absolutely kicks ass!

[visual33]

jackeminor, of course I believe you, but I Googled it anyway, and yes, you are correct, Denny Dias did what I think is the best ever guitar solo.

[martinevans123]

Superb mate, note perfect AND with feeling!! that just rocks

[YZippy]

Uhhhhh. Oh Hell yes. Dude. You rock. THere is hope for the youth of America.

[joeyrocks2207]

You are GOOD!! Nice flow you have with that guitar part.Very smooth also.Reminds me of my younger days when I had the time to pick up my axe and sit down and learn great songs like that.Keep up the great work!!!

[adk17]

Great job! Fun to watch.  Would you consider doing the whole song?

[jcoolah]

Theres a little more to the video, but its just kinda me improvising over the song until the last solo, then it stops. Maybe i'll upload the full version if I can find the video again, haha.

[maurizio82]

That must be hard so hard to play! Good job. Oh..and Nice sleepers!

[timbek]

Bravo !

[Stratman1920]

Bravo, I could never play this, been trying for years. I do play a number of other Steely Dan songs, see my channel... I notice that just like Reelin in the Years, the riffs in this song are a tight group of riffs around a G pentatonic scale. I just couldn't viusalize it, but now I can and will master it soon after you showed the way.

[tjmpiano]

I know I can play the piano part....I just always have to settle for less than perfect guitar licks from players who just can't get there from here...Guess what? You're there.

[bonzo21290]

FUCK YES MAN.. i love steely dan, this is a great song... what other ones do ya know? my old school?

[visual33]

The best guitar solo ever, and you got it. Larry would be proud of you.

[jackeminor]

Larry? The guitarist is Denny Dias. Not Larry Carlton or Skunk either. Google it if you don't believe me.

[circlejosh]

you hit the mark on that solo buddy....nearly perfect....way to go

[Timinator62]

LOL that was great !!! the Metalica T Shirt, the skull and crossbones for fret markers and the checked teenies, it just goes to show that a great song inspires musicians for years to come.

[jonrickly]

yea, i was thinkin' the same thing...

a metal head diggin' steely dan!! how cool.

there is hope yet!

great job on the guitar by the way!

a really tough tune to nail.

[thephilth]

Absolutely awesome!

[ytlaya]

That was pretty great. I'm going to get my guitar out and try it at half tempo now (only been playing for a year)!

[mingmong]

Fucking amazing. Spot on

[chris80413]

You nailed it. Had my head bopping and everything.

[jonegocios]

Great jam and job on this, a classic lick older than you undoubtedly, keep it up, I'll be buying your CDs..
