This is probably the most studied of the Steely Dan compositions: Every instrumental part and every chord voicing has been scrutinized and practiced by musicians ever since its release. Enjoy!
This transcription is done on the basis of the isolated tracks/stems, so is as close to something like a ‘correct’ answer as possible.
Be sure to check out the great instructional video (by Homespun) in which Donald Fagen himself breaks down songs like, “Peg”, “Josie”, “Chain Lightning”, and more: Get it here on their website.
Also, watch Rick Beato’s interview with Michael McDonald on recording the infamous vocal harmonies, and Rick Beato’s interview feat. Jay Graydon who recounts the recording session for the guitar solo.
