Ayla Tesler-Mabe plays and explains five Steely Dan songs that are great examples of breaking out of that box. She breaks down each lick phrase by phrase so you can play along. 1:38 - Lick 1: Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More This lick is centered around the E minor pentatonic shape but with other notes outside of the scale thrown in for more colors. 3:25 - Lick 2: Don't Take Me Alive This particular lick has a half-step bend and is a perfect lick to work on your vibrato. The vibrato is key to making the lick sound as good as it does. 5:18 - Lick 3: Everything You Did This lick is also played in the E minor pentatonic shape but arranged in an order that makes it sound different than your usual minor pentatonic licks. This lick also has a lot of bends -- only the last bend comes down while the first two bends up and don't come back down. 7:11 - Lick 4: Kid Charlemagne This might be one of Larry Carlton’s most iconic guitar licks. Don’t forget to add vibrato to the last note to give it more emotion. 8:39 - Lick 5: I Got The News This is the ending phrase of the solo and is probably the most exotic lick from this list because it uses the harmonic minor scale. This lick is a great lesson in space, as there’s lots of space in between each phrasing.
