Steely Dan Youtube – Jeff Skunk Baxter – Denny Dias

Thursday, September 4th, 2008 | Electric Guitar, Rock Guitar

Steely Dan has had some exceptional guitar players and this tune by the Dan is part of rock history.  I remember getting this album around about the time it was released and on the back of it had a great article and it jokingly said, what the world really needs is another rck and roll band.  Well in fact it did need Steely Dan and it gave us an introduction to Jeff Skunk Baxter and Denny Dias.  Denny Dias never quite got the acclaim that the Skunk has gotten but listen to his parts in this youtube video.  Unfortunately the cameraman that filmed this couldn’t work out who was soloing in the great guitar break, so we miss a little of the Skunks sollo at the beginning.  How good is that guitar riff? and then the harmony?

  • INTERVIEW: Pennywise’s Fletcher Dragge
    Hermosa Beach, California punk rock pioneers Pennywise released their tenth studio album, All Or Nothing, on April 26 via Epitaph Records.

  • INTERVIEW: Rex Brown talks Vulgar Display
    It’s twenty years since Pantera released Vulgar Display Of Power. That’s the same as the span of time between the Beatles’ first world tour and Van Halen’s Jump. Or between Led Zeppelin IV and Pearl Jam’s Ten. It seems hard to believe now, where crunchy metal riffs are used in everything from kids’ movies to […]
  • INTERVIEW: Garbage’s Butch Vig
    When Garbage went into hiatus around 2006, nobody expected the band to be gone forever. It really did seem like more of a ‘recharge the creative batteries’ break than a ‘we hate each other and can’t stand to work together ever again’ thing. So when they announced their plans to return, it was not really […]
  • CD REVIEW: Storm Corrosion
    Porcupine Tree and Opeth are both bands with distinctive sounds – Pink Floydian prog rock on one side, and sprawling progressive death metal on the other. So you could be forgiven for expecting a collaboration between each band’s masterminds (Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson, Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt) to be a progressive death metal epic full of […]
