Why should EVERYBODY learn "Peg" by Steely Dan, from their legendary 1977 record Aja? Because it's AMAZING!!! Whether you play guitar, bass, or Bavarian cheese whistle, there's something you can pick up from this incredible song. In this deep dive video, your buddy Uncle Ben Eller here is gonna take you on a guided tour through everything that makes this song AMAZING, from the DEEP chord voicing (and the music theory behind them), to the RAD Chuck Rainey slap bass line, to the legendary Jay Graydon guitar solo. There's so much to love in this song, and I can't wait to show you all of it!
