Getting Steely Dan buzz out of this arrangement. Nice!

Like on any other island, too. Soloing is soloing, no matter the island you're sitting on. That's the beauty of really learning how to play an instrument. Once you know, you know :)

Indeed.
Great soloing lesson. Thanks Steve! I want to start playing jazz and soloing more again. I have been focused on pop songwriting which is very rewarding, but my ear has suffered because I haven't kept up. I think I'll start with this tune and your lesson. Do you think it would be good use of practice time to take real book songs, figure out scales and modes associated with the chords, and practice soloing, or is there another way that might be better? I have subscribed so I will be checking out more of your videos. Thanks again! -Bill.

Hi there, yes I've made the backing track available. Link in description. I'm using a Fender medium pick. I hold it differently for different sounds.
Great solo! Is it possible to buy a transcription of this solo in pdf format?
