Play the Blues like Steely Dan | Ayla Tesler-Mabe
Start your guitar journey today: ►https://ift.tt/39yNwcp PDF Scale chart: ►https://ift.tt/3ctTkY1 0:00 - Intro Ayla Tesler-Mabe goes into depth on the specific harmonic and chord choices in four different Steely Dan songs. 1:47 - "Peg" This song is the closest Steely Dan came to writing a song with a traditional 1-4-5 blues progression — but with a bit of a twist with their interesting chord choices. 2:37 - 1-4-5 chord progression Since the song is in the key of C, this means it starts with the 1-chord (C), then goes to the 4-chord (F), and finally to the 5-chord (G). 3:25 - Cmaj7 The first chord in the song, Ayla describes how to play this classic major 7 chord. 4:18 - Gadd9/B Next, we go to this chord. And even though the major 3rd of the root is what's being played, the root note is G, making this chord a Gadd9/B chord. 5:41 - Fmaj7 Next, we move to the 4-chord. It's the same chord movement, but this time starting at the 8th fret, and it comes back down to the 1-chord. 6:19 - "Black Friday" This song is the opening song from Steely Dan’s album, “Katy Lied.” It begins with a bluesy riff that continues throughout the verses and transitions into the chorus, where it gets a little crazy. 7:39 - Beginning riff The common note is E, and the voice leading helps tie all these chords together and makes everything connect smoothly. 8:45 - A A classic A major bar chord, but the only caveat is avoiding the high E string. 10:03 - G6 Take the previous shape and move it down a whole step to G and add your pinky to the 5th fret of the B string. This is the voice leading commonality between the chords. 10:22 - F #7 This chord involves putting the dominant 7 at the top of the chord to give it a crunchier tone. 11:31 - E Flat m7 This is a very classic minor 7 chord shape you may have encountered before. 12:00 - A/D A major triad with the D in the bass. What’s also interesting about this chord, is that it’s also a D major 9 chord. So it can be referred to as either. 13:28 - B9sus4 This chord is an A triad over B -- it acts as the 5-chord bringing us back to the 1-chord. 14:51 - "Black Cow" Another opening track but off of Steely Dan's album "Asia" (it might be one of Ayla’s favorites…even though it’s hard for her to choose — they’re all great!) 15:52 - The Blues Motif You might instantly think of old school blues when hearing this motif. It's just a diad (two notes) and moving that shape from the 8th fret to the 10th fret. 17:34 - A7(#5) The sharp 5 in this chord helps build a lot of tension to resolve to the next chord. 18:42 - C/D This chord has the C major triad in it over the D chord. You can also think of it as a D9sus4 chord (Ayla taught on this earlier in the lesson). 19:46 - E7(#9) This is a great altered chord often used in jazz-influenced music. It's also a staple in Jimi Hendrix’s playing. 22:17 - E9sus4 The chord used to resolve back to the A major chord. 23:07 - "Bodhisattva" This song comes off of one of her favorite steely Dan albums, and one of the first Steely Dan songs she ever heard...courtesy of Rock Band 2. 23:51 - Beginning riff The song starts with a traditional rock blues riff that may sound familiar. 25:00 - G7 This next riff is just the G going to the 10th fret of A string. This is a classic voicing of a dominat7 chord. 26:21 - E Flat m7 The same chord voicing we looked at earlier in the video 26:30 - A7(#5) Again, the exact same chord that we learned in"Black Cow." 26:42 - Dm7 They play a very typical voicing of this type of chord, letting it resolve the previous chords. 27:13 - F6 This is also the same chord voicing used earlier in the song, but the root being F this time. This chord progression is used a lot and can be considered a type of modal interchange.
