[D] _ _ _ [N] _ Okay, so what I just played was Jay Graydon's guitar solo _ _ _ on the Steely Dan song Peg, which
is a great, great guitar solo.
_ I always thought it was cool and I finally decided I'd learn it. _ _ _ _
So anyway, I played Jay's solo and then I did a chorus of my own _ _ improv solo, just _ _ for
fun. _ _
_ _ _ Alright, we're talking about the _ _ great guitar solo by Jay Graydon on the Steely Dan song
Peg, _ _ and it's over a G blues progression. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's a little different than a, it's kind of a major sounding blues progression and
for the G chord there's some movement, on all the chords there's some movement and it's like [C] this.
For instance, the G chord is like a C major _ 7 _ [G] _ to _ _ G add 9.
[C] _ _ [G] _ This is the [C] piano voice.
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ Alright, so that's the progression, G blues, kind of major-y blues.
_ _ Here's the first lick.
_ _ So _ _ _ _ _ it's over the G chord, we're going to start with the notes E and G. _ _
[C] _ And he does, [Bb] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ alright, [G] _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [E] _ [Bb] _ famous total Jay Graydon type of thing, [C] slides and bends, double stops.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ Alright, and the next [C] _ _ lick is kind of expanding on the same idea.
_ _ [Bb] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C]
Alright, here it is again.
_ _ [Bb] _ [D] _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ Okay, and then we're up here on _ _ A. _
_ [G] _ _ [F] A on the first string sliding down to G on the second string.
_ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And then going down the [D] mixolydian scale.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
So [Eb] that lick again.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, now here's a really cool part.
He [Gb] does this pull-off thing going up G major scale.
_ _ Actually it's kind of a combination of G major and G [E] mixolydian.
_ So you start with the F, go out of the F [F] sharp.
[D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ Pulling [Dm] off.
_ [G] _ _ _
[Fm] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Ab] Alright, so I'm playing a note on the fourth string followed by a note on the [G] third string
and pulling off to open G on the third string as I'm going up the neck.
[F] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bbm] _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
So here it [Gbm] is again.
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ [G] _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _ So this [C] part right here is _ chromatic _ notes.
_ _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Bbm] _
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Am] _ _ [Bbm] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ And the next part took me a long time to figure out _ [E] _ because it's so fast and I don't have
a way to slow down the recording.
But _ [Eb] I'm pretty sure this is what it is.
This is over the D chord of the Jupiter blues progression.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ [Dbm] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _
So it's kind of triplet based, only the first grouping of notes is [Dbm] four.
So it's like a group of six, I guess 32nd notes that would be followed by three groups of triplets. _ _
[D] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [C] _ _ [N] _ _
_ Four notes or three notes in the space of a half of E.
_ _ _ Does _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
that make sense?
_ _ I'm not explaining [D] very well.
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _
_ Yeah, so group of four, group of three, group of three, group of three.
[Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ Pulling from F sharp [D] up to G.
_ [E] _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ Let's play it again.
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ Right here is the whole thing [C] slow.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ [Gbm] _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bbm] _ [G] _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ That was slow.
_ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
Alright.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
