Steely Dan - Deacon Blues (a chord study)

An intense song for any guitar player, check out these chords. As usual, I have a midifile as my backup band, played with Reason 2.5. Truth is, I think I can do this better, smoother and with a better sound balance. Look for take two in the near future. Meanwhile, You Try It!!!!!!

[Naminator99]

Are you playing maj7 chords Gmaj7 to Fmaj7?

If so, that's wrong

[rickumali]

I've been listening to Aja, and "Deacon Blues" in particular the past few weeks. I loved your cover! It's great to see the guitar part, and done so well too!

[MrJimmysixstring]

Excellent job! I've recently delved into a lot of Steely Dan, Chet Atkins n Les Paul after 26 years of rock n metal focus and this stuff is a mother to play right! You nailed it dude!!!!

[mandobanjoguitar]

nice cover. you got a nice voice, and those are some tricky chords.

[netherworldman]

Just a remark for brainlesshorsie and mad wanker: you might consider cutting off your heads in order to prevent making more stupid remarks. Just let the Stratman do his things, many of us like it!

[aaronamccoy]

lot of little neat changes in there
