Hey, what about that bass line (said the bass player)? It’s groovy and still angular. You should be able to play it well after two months of lessons. Simple bass parts are part of the game of playing bass, though.

That’s what my dad told me, and from experience, I imagine Rob learned it from his dad; and well, why should Andy’s dad be special?
I’m seriously considering leaving home.
Dangit, you people. Say you’re not crazy about some Steely Dan songs around here, and you’ll never hear the end of it. I like “Do It Again”, dammit.
ETA, especialy the solo. In fact, gonna listen to it now.
Good explanations. That technique is also what Michael J. Anderson did for Twin Peaks with speech instead of music. In the one case, it’s structured by a rhythm section to keep up with and chord changes to be matched. In the other, it’s all about knowing one’s phonemes backward and forward. Kor stel!
Now that Chuck has passed on to Rock Heaven, I noticed that the NY Times obit mentioned T-Bone Walker:

From the Texas guitarist T-Bone Walker, Mr. Berry picked up a technique of bending two strings at once that he would rough up and turn into a rock ’n’ roll talisman, the Chuck Berry lick, which would in turn be emulated by the Rolling Stones and countless others.
