Hi, I wrote the Best of Steely Dan guitar book for Hal Leonard music in 1996 and I researched what guitarists they used for certain solos and Walter Becker definitely played this solo. Bob Heinink

@robheinink How about including chord charts for the instrumental verses of songs such as 'Dr Wu' next time you transcribe, huh? But great job nevertheless, you got most of the inversions correct, at least on the piano stave.
Hi @SIXSTRING63 Thanks for your comment - I assumed it was Walter Becker as it is so much his angular edgy style with some strange interval skips whereas Larry Carlton has a much more fluid style - I did some research on Google but surprisingly couldn't find any mention of who played the solo - let know if you find anything cheers
@Siabod57 You're right , I just went on Mr.335 tv and Larry talked about doing Josie instrumentally because he did not do a solo on the original. He said he just did some vamping chord riffs on the Steely Dan version.
I really like your playing of this, great tone and precise playing - thank you for posting - & the video is very clear will be good to learn from. ( btw just at 0:25 just after the pause , I always thought he slides the note up the neck rather than bending it up as you do, but I'm saying this from memory so iI may well be wrong . whatever, this is really nice )
Hi @echo680 thanks for your positive comments - having had another listen I think you are right it should be a slide - I have trouble with the double stop bend at .20 - don't quite get up to the note - think I may have to re-record it -in the true spirit of Steely Dan's attention to detail . Cheers
Excellent job, wonderfully played. Can you please tell me your guitar and amp set up, sounds very close to original track. Also could you please listen to Walters track for pretzel logic and see if you can play it. Ive seen a few versions on the tube and most a botched, and mostly adlibbed. Thanks in advance.
Hi Mark Thanks for your positive comments. The guitar is an Epiphone Sheraton played through a Fender Twin. Yeah I'll have a look at the Pretzel Logic solo..

apparently Mr. 335 did not play the solo on Josie, I always believed that he had!
the link shows his story on the track..but he did record an instrumental of Josie some years later..
and very nice solo played by you as well!

This solo sounds really great to me. And no, *I AM* having trouble with the double stop bend, yours sounds really well! How do you play it at .20?
