Chords for Guitar Tutorial Pretzel Logic - Steely Dan

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, _ _ all right _ _
_ _ Today with this video I want to talk a little bit about the song practice the logic by Steely Dan
_ another 70s tune that _
Goes pretty well on on an acoustic guitar actually
There's a couple of licks that you got to learn to make this sounds this song sound correct
And it's really it's really playing off the a minor seventh in third position
_ And let me show you that so you can see this so I'm third position
It's really the shape of the a minors the a minor
_ _ [Am] _ then you go to the shape of the a [A] on the fifth fret so you [F#m] go from
_ third [Am] position to
_ fifth position _ _ and
You're and you're doing the bass line with your thumbs, so _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ [Am] _ you're sort of walking down _ _
_ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ five three
_ open
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ [D]
Five [C] three [A] [D] open and [A] _
then there's a [C#] second riff
That's important in the song
And it's the it's the second chord and you're and you're doing a similar sort of bass line riff
You're going to use it's based off the F [Fm] major seventh
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Em] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
[Em] _ _ You're basically using your thumb to [F] play the bass note of an F
And then you sort of hammer on you open open string pluck the
_ This the second and the third string the B and the in the G, and then you hammer on to like a two note
_ F major seventh so it [Em] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] so that's another that's the second riff sorry about that _
The next riff is is another is the next _
Important sounding riff.
It's a similar thing with a bass line, but it's using a
_ It's based around a D minor seven and this D minor seventh really starts in the third fret
It's in the D minor seventh shape
So you're going to go so _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] you're going to go from a [D#] D minor or [Em] actually a D minor shape
to [F] a D shape in the fifth position, [Em] so it's a
D minor shape in the third position and
_ Then go to the D shape in the fifth position
Then you're going to [D] use the D string to do your bass line
[G] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [D] _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] So those are three riffs that are really [C] important in this song to get that that sort of traveling
_ Sound that they have so okay the the other one important.
There's a couple of strange chords here
_ D slash E.
Which is sort of played.
I play it in this position in the seventh position _
Basically laying your finger [D] down
So _ [E] _ _
_ _ you're going to [D] go D E
[E] _
[G#] And we'll get to that when you'll see [C] it in the song [D] and _ so you're just laying down basically _ _
D slash E and then this is
C [Em] chord _ _ [D] to a D
_ Okay _
Okay, [A] so let's try that there.
There's a lot of there's a lot going on there always is in a Steely Dan songs
Let's see how well we can do some of this.
_ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [Am] _ _ I would love to tour the Southland
[F] _ _ [Am] in a traveling [F#] musical [F#m] show [Am] I _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [C] _ _ [G] Would love to [F] tour the Southland
_ [D] _ [G] _ [Dm] _ in a traveling musical [Am] show _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Time to [E] be a star
[D] To make them laugh
Sound just [E] like a record on [D] the [D] photograph
_ These days are [A] gone forever
_ [C] _ Over [D] a long time [C] ago.
