Peg Guitar Solo

I love this solo!!! This is such a cool song by Steely Dan and the solo is a classic. I learned it this semester in my Jimmy Page guitar lab taught by Joe Musella at Berklee. Isn't that awesome? I hope you like it!
I got the super cool backing track from bobbysbackingtracks.com

[@REM1956]

I love this solo, as well. It's impressive how easy you make it look. You were right on the money. Great job.

[@martins5476]

WOW that was IMPRESSIVE!!! Not an easy thing to do either!!! Nicely done, I bow to you!

[@gibsonguy5240]

She makes it look so easy. Well played. I also have a 1980 Les Paul "Artist" tobacco sunburst. Very nice!

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

One of my favorite songs and you nailed it spoton Juli. Good job.

[@AlanScottBand]

Nailed it!! The way you ascend to the high bend sounds more accurate and is easier postion-wise than some I've seen. Thanks!

[@uluwatu3118]

Very nice cover of Jay Graydons' epic solo

[@tonedr]

Terrific & love your LP!🎸

[@jcjcviews]

Could you show me? You're great, and you seem to be enjoying yourself so much. You're good at what you do! I couldn't hold back from expressing my appreciation for your artistry. I'm studying what attracted me to the guitar as an instrument. "beautiful."❤❤❤💯

Her set at the Holiday Inn on Thursday's during happy hour is good too. Plus shots are half price...

[@BarbarraBay]

wow - i was listening to a Steely Dan song then this automatically came on in the background. I thought is was Steely Dan. Its Juli Finn! 😅😅✌✌Fabulous tone 🔥🔥

[@gergemall]

beautiful

[@user-sn3rv1zc5z]

Just as smooth and lovely as silk.Nailed the solo as well.What’s not to like?😂

[@ernierodriguez9977]

I love it 😀

[@julifinnmusic]

Thanks!

[@gj8683]

It's a good thing that Fagan and Becker agonized their way to choosing Graydon's solo. Now we can all enjoy it. So satisfying and refreshing! Thanks for your post. You really have it down.

[@julifinnmusic]

It was so much fun to learn.

[@lennyhendricks4628]

nice!

[@richardmiller191]

Hey Juli I know this is 7 years ago but just saw it - amazing! You so nailed it. Its a hard solo and i'm going to do my best to learn it. I just learned Peg on paino - that wasn't particularly easy either. Love your Les Paul too. I have one just like it on its an Epiphone. Cant afford the Gibson! :( anyway thanks for posting. Also I read the comments criticizing not starting with pre-bends. So what? It sounds great . You play it any way you want!

[@julifinnmusic]

Thanks for watching. It’s a fun one to play. I have learned the pre-bends because of the comments so it’s all good 😌

[@hmmmwhatever]

Very Nice!!

[@kingsecho3351]

It may not be how it is done but still sounds really nice. He actually doesn’t slide on the first part he bends

[@HardcoreUly]

I heard the original studio recording was played on a strat and the deep two note bends in the 1st two bars were done with the tremelo bar.

[@justsomeguy1074]

Well you heard wrong. Jay himself said he used a 335 and shows the intro notes prebent then as he plays he brings the bend down.

[@marcpost4034]

@@justsomeguy1074Exactly right. Played on his 335 with the notes pre bent. KZbin videos with Jay showing exactly how he played it.

[@ALVIEDZANE]

I like your picture, Juli! Lol Very nice solo too!

[@julifinnmusic]

😂 and my name in lights above it? Thank you!

[@markvidales]

that was awesome!!! any chance you could do the solo from Rainbow in the dark by ronnie james dio? love how you nailed this one

[@stephen1562]

Very tasteful in every respect...makes guitar playing look easy, which it definitely isnt. Respect and envy of your skills

[@brianhyland4140]

Perfect. 🎶🎸🎶👏👏👏

[@julifinnmusic]

Thank you ☺️

[@johnkk7863]

Just so good, you have such a relaxed tecnique and it's an absolute pleasure to watch, perfect job.

[@williamperri3437]

Excellent tone and feel! You would of made the cut live, I feel. You definitely could walk out on stage with the current SD and play this solo now I’m sure. On another note, what does everybody think of Keith Carlock on drums with steely Dan this tour?

[@KeithCopeland778]

Yes mam!!!! EXCELLENT!!!

[@Retroearthling]

good job!

[@leslielembcke8073]

I like both versions, both Jay’s and yours. Very nice performance. Thank you

[@davidhughes4448]

Tactful, Leslie. Well done.

[@bravan49]

Very nice juli. Make it look very easy.

Not your typical poseur. Actual musician. Well done.

[@julifinnmusic]

Thank you very much ☺️

[@stanleychen2394]

Skillz FO shure!

[@mvpapalia]

Great looking solo (nice guitar). Your tone is really nice. But, when Graydon plays this, doesn't he do stretches from the second position (vs slides)?

[@julifinnmusic]

You are right!

[@Geotubest]

The whole idea of a Jimmy Page guitar lab sounds really appealing to me. I'd be all over that.

[@awesomedreamfangames8981]

Gotta respect the effort of responding to all recent comments after 8 years. Nice playing too!

[@boscodooley8561]

Not for you. LOL

Hell yeah

Nice, thanks....

[@sligo405]

That was like a delicious bite of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Sweet and cool and never enough. Great tone...

[@jmuhlenbruch]

One more thing, (AND YOU DID WONDERFULLY) the opening double stops aren't slid into, but actually bent up to pitch.

[@julifinnmusic]

Hey, thanks for sharing! That does make sense. :)

[@MackAxyzz]

awesome...and i LOVE your red hair 😘

I consider myself very hard to please in this regard but wow, that girl is on it, perfect%

Dang!

[@lrh411]

Yeah... but she's a lot prettier than Jay! Good job Juli.

[@user-ij7nu6yc8j]

Yo Dude! 😡 She is soooo not prettier than me... Okay okay... Maybe she is.. In that case, anyone know if she is single? ❤🌺 🌹 💍 ⛵ 🍯 🌝

Tone is insane

Thanks ☺️

[@cenjim]

Very nicely done! Only slightly different from Jay Gradon but you did the job! Very sweet guitar playing!

[@julifinnmusic]

Thanks so much. ☺️

[@Retroearthling]

WOW you killed it. Aren't they amazing?

[@AlexHirschMusic]

Killer

[@CobraFast1]

Yes.... what gives you the tone and sustain? Beautiful playing. You amaze me.

[@pbierre]

A hollow-body guitar with the right level of acoustic feedback (sub-screech) will add sustain...you don't need to pluck the strings, just keep fingers moving up and down frets.

[@raheimjumbo2869]

SHE`S BAD ASS.

[@johnherbold5451]

....A whole lot prettier, AND every bit the lead guitarist virtuoso!! A dangerous combination in deed.

[@investorart58]

A bit different than Jay plays it - but what an incredible display of fluidity, tone and technique. Absolutely sweet!

[@davidhughes4448]

I agree, Peter. It's real close, but lovely nonetheless.

Perfect. 🕊❤️

[@axslinger99]

Sounded great. I don't understand why nobody on YT takes the time to play the intro sequence correct, starting with the pre-bend.

[@johnkk7863]

Because nobody knew it was a pre bend before Jay himself revealed it yrs after Julia made this video . Nobody including me and you .

[@axslinger99]

@@johnkk7863 you don't shit about what I knew and it's arrogant to assume you do. Go away, sport.

[@baselinesweb]

That is not an easy thing to play at all! Bravo.

[@robertpalmer5610]

Steely didn’t use a slide at the beginning it was done by bending
