By ear, I've always played the beginning as double stops leaving out the upper octave, but now that I see it on paper it's quite possible that Becker was doing triple stops. Anyway, this was a great effort to transcribe what I consider to be one of the trickier Steely Dan bass lines, and I thank you.
Wow this is great Greg!!! I’m so glad you added another great Steely Dan Bass tab. I’ve already learned how to play maybe 4 of their songs and this is another one that’s going in my New Bass tabs folder in TH-cam. Can’t wait to play this once I get past my rotator cuff injury. 😢 I’ve been following you since I took up the bass guitar during stay at home shelter in place during pandemic and I really enjoy playing this instrument. Im very thankful for the bass tabs you added on your page and it’s easy to read and follow. My bass playing has improved tremendously since then. I’m about 30 years too late to only discover that the bass is the instrument for me. But nonetheless I always have so much joy playing it and it’s always next to me since I work at home 2 days in the week.
Hey Mr Tuckers, thanks for the comment and for following my channel. I'm really glad you're finding the videos useful and more importantly that you feel like you're growing. Keep it up and thanks again :)
Very cool deep cut...haven't heard it in decades. Nice stuff & chord changes during the synth solo. Whew. The Latin/Samba feel, to me, is present (to a degree) in the opening Verses...upbeats on 2 & 4. Some of this sounds like Chuck Rainey...I'm assuming it's all Walter Becker & the guys from the debut. PRETZEL LOGIC began their era of the studio musician. Great job, BTW. ;-)
When I've seen that you've made a cover of Steely Dan, I expected something as difficult as this! Really fast!! I still remember your cover of "Kid Charlemagne" a few years ago and the hours and days I spent on it. :)
"People Make The World Go Round" is another classic by The Stylistics....an era where even Pop tunes were "composed". ;-) Others similar - "Betcha, By Golly Wow", "You Are Everything". All 3 from their debut album.

This bass line sounds heavily influenced by Jamerson
It sounds like a latin/samba bass line to me.
