Welcome to my 684th solo guitar arrangement video on YouTube, “Third World Man” by Steely Dan. This is a special song for me, not only because I'm a Steely Dan lover but because this arrangement may have been one of the first, if not actually the first pop song arrangements I ever attempted to create, dating back to around 1989, that's almost a shocking 40 years! Where has time gone... I didn't play it very well back then, obviously, and I have played it many times over the years and have improved it a great deal so I thought I'd present today the most up to date version. I also recorded a version about 10 years ago for my album "New Frontier" on the Art of Life label, see here (and buy a copy): artofliferecords.com/newfrontier.html but that was audio only so today, a proper video. #steelydan #thirdworldman #peg #aja #gaucho #babylonsisters #heynineteen #thefez #kidcharlemagne #donaldfagen #walterbecker@JakeReichbart
