Just The Riffs For Piano by Steely Dan. For piano. Piano. Soft Rock and Pop Rock. Difficulty: medium. Instructional book (keyboard excerpts only). Standard notation, chord names, instructional text, performance notes and introductory text. 40 pages. Published by Cherry Lane Music (HL.2500164).

ISBN 1575603101. With standard notation, chord names, instructional text, performance notes and introductory text. Soft Rock and Pop Rock. 9x12 inches.

Any true fan of the Dan know that Donald Fagen's wizardry on the keys is as unique as his voice, and just as eccentric. This book in the Just the Riffs series culls more than 65 great riffs - from Can't Buy a Thrill through Two Against Nature - and transcribes them note-for-note, just as Fagen played them. Includes riffs from: Babylon Sisters * Black Cow * The Boston Rag * Cousin Dupree * Deacon Blues * Do It Again * Gaucho * Green Earrings * Hey Nineteen * Josie * Kid Charlemagne * Reeling in the Years * Rikki Don't Lose That Number * Time Out of Mind * and more.

        The anatomy of Steely Dan

        Great Fun!

        This book is a lot of fun! The transcriptions are as note-for-note as anything I've ever seen -- and I have an out-of-print book of Steely Dan transcriptions for many of the same songs. This puts that book to shape (interestingly enough, they're both Cherry Hill publications) EXCEPT for the...
