    Hey everyone! Pretty overwhelmed with all the positive comments this video has received over the last 5 years. If you enjoy my playing here, feel free to check out my other videos on my channel! th-cam.com/users/colmlindsayvideos

      Outstanding Colm!! “Don’t take me alive” was spot on man. It’s nice to see a younger player going back and playing some great classics too, and Steely Dan isn’t the easiest band to emulate either. Great playing and thanks for the video! I’ll be watching this a few more times I’m sure.

      Dude, sick. Can you tell me where you got the tracks? To dub over?

      @colmlindsay  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks Jonathan. To be honest I got them all from different sources, TH-cam etc and spliced them together how I wanted the medley to go!

      @Eric Frost Exactly - if I have had a bad day I check this out - SD is my favorite band of all time and Colm KILLS these solos. Love it - keep'em coming Mr. Lindsay!

    I am astonished that 75 people disliked this. I have played thirty plus years. I teach guitar at a university. This is great. Your tone sounds amazing as well. I am firm believer that we should give a compliment where a compliment is due. Excellent job

    Shocked at not only the note for note but the tone for tone… the Steely Dan catalog represents a generation of the greatest guitarist's to string it up! You lay it down perfectly just awesome man!!

  • @casparuskruger4807
    @casparuskruger4807 9 ปีที่แล้ว +385

    These are NOT easy solos to play! These are very, very cleanly played renditions which were originally played by some of the top session players in the world. Early members of Steely Dan such as Denny Dias and Skunk Baxter were certainly no slouches either. Very, very well done!

    • @colmlindsay
      @colmlindsay  9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Casparus Kruger hi CASPARUS ... i play guitar & i've always known how good skunk was , but it wasn't until recently that i've come to appreciate just how damn good denny dias was ... excellent melodic solos.

    • @kendesjarlais7577
      @kendesjarlais7577 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      with your feel and style-- you should be playing a free flowing guitar that doesn't restrict you like a high end ibanez or jackson soloist

    • @Skinny_Karlos
      @Skinny_Karlos 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Casparus Kruger I agree. I must admit that I still have great respect for Elliot Randall. Can you imagine Reelin' in the years without his full fingerboard coverage on that track. Magic playing.

      I've been playing since '65 and I echo Jim Wilson. You have got really superb chops there, Colm. Take it from somebody who's been trying to polish the intro to "Take Me Alive" for about the last 2 months now!

    @jakesnake66 7 ปีที่แล้ว +110

    You have enough guys stroking your ego, Mr. Lindsay - and rightly so. You are one amazing technician. I've been playing professionally for 30+ years and I can't do a single one of those to that perfection. The only little tiny suggestion I will very humbly make is: also work on developing your own style. You sound like 8 of the best session players in recording history, and that's freaking AWESOME. But make sure you carve out some Colm Linsday, too.

    • @bigted1953
      @bigted1953 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Ah kid just keep jamming steely Dan. Find enough other steely Dan fans to make a great cover. Band. They are all.old and eventually will pass on and those hungering for their lost heroes will paymad cash to have you help them relive the past

      coffeecoffe25 Mate it's just like everything in life - there'll always be people further along the road than you and others that haven't got to where you're currently at. The thing is to learn and be inspired from/by the former and to pass on your knowledge and inspire the latter. Music's not a contest it's an all in, free for all funfest !!

    The late comedian George Carlin once observed his dog doing what dogs do, then mused that if he could do that, he'd never leave the house. You must have spent a lot of hours in that room, man. Must be quite gratifying to make that Strat talk like that. I'm glad you find time to gig because you need to be heard. Amazing.

      Carlo Volpe OK, I'm curious. What don't you like about this? Do you not like the the original riffs, or Colm's work. Many guitarists would eat a bag of roaches every day to play this well. Why all the hating, professor?
      In your mind... who's good?

    Hey Colm, you have mad chops. Love the little takes you made to the solos. If I am ever in Ireland, I'm coming to watch your band. I'm a huge SD fan and have seen them a half dozen times. But I woke up this morning looking for a new challenge in my life. I decide to learn all the guitar solos from my Steely Dan Guitar Solo Book. True story. Looked on TH-cam just for kicks and found out that you are the cover master for these solos. Watching you has inspired me to go upstairs and get to work. Thanks for posting. I'm all smiles after watching this.

    Man, if the lead singer your band is half as good at sounding like Donald Fagen as you are at playing those solos it must be a killer show to see.

  • @jesuschambers
    @jesuschambers 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You look like a young Rory Gallagher(With shorter hair!) and the best compliment I can give you is that you can play that guitar nearly as good as him. I can't give anybody higher praise than that because he was the greatest. I really enjoyed this video and especially the intro to Don't take me alive which happens to be probably my favourite intro to any song.

    • @jimspencer4413
      @jimspencer4413 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love Rory’s playing, but to me he was more about passion & playing freely, whereas Colm plays those mind-bogglingly note-perfect covers of some of the greatest electric guitar solis ever recorded with a positively berserk level of precision and rhythmic exactness, rhythmic flair more typical of a bebop pianist or drummer- stunning, stunning playing! Just brilliant!

    It's 5 years since I discovered Colm's Favorite 12 SD guitar solos. I listen to your project at least once a week. You see, aside from the fact your medley sounds great and is , I've got an issue with Steely Dan, that is that I am obsessed with the organization. Listening to the C'sF12 keeps me from pulling out all the vinyls and CD's, making a mess and losing track of time. Its really an enjoyable performance you've created. When I play it for friends they remark on how faithfully you've rendered it - with almost imperceptible differences that only add to the authenticity.

    I just happen to come across your video while researching guitar soloists on various Steely Dan albums and...wow!....what a treat to listen to you play, Colm. Simply awesome. Bang on!! I am a drummer but know all of those lead guitar parts in my head, having been a life long fan of the band. Kudos...excellent...well done! Just wish I lived in Ireland so I could come and see you and your band live! You are an excellent musician, Colm...thanks for sharing. Simply awesome!!!!!!

    Very Nice! Only thing is there is already a Larry Carlton.You have such an amazing gift.Do your own stuff.Very polished and great tone.What I have noticed is with the exception of a few bands the tribute bands fade.YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN MATERIAL! The bar crowds love the songs they know and a good way to make some quick cash but in the long run its a deal with the devil.

      'Original' music is not the be-all end-all of existence. Most of us still have a lot to learn from the masters.

    • @markskaggs2996

      Uh, it's a Steely Dan solo video. Which he absolutely & thoroughly nails. The title of the video is "Medley of Steely Dan Guitar Solos". Pretty sure this videos purpose is to accurately showcase Steely Dan solos. Which, again, he absolutely blisters. Also pretty sure he realizes there's already a Larry Carlton. Why do I have this weird feeling that, if he did indeed post a video of his "OWN MATERIAL" as you referenced above, you would comment "YOU CAN DO STEELY DAN SOLOS!". Geez......................

      @keef7224 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hillary Chapman yup and I’ve noticed a few other expert players doing it as a slide also, even though Graydon couldn’t make it any more clear that it’s a bend

    • @colmlindsay
      @colmlindsay  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s funny, I put this video up 6 years ago (having learned everything by ear) but when the video of Jay demonstrating was uploaded a year or two ago, I got an influx of comments telling me I was playing it wrong.

    • @keef7224
      @keef7224 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Colm Lindsay Dude, from what little I’ve seen you don’t play anything ‘wrong’. Nice work!
