Peg
Album:"Aja"
Written By:W.Becker/D.Fagen
Bass Player:Chuck Rainey
Transcription By:Simon Merrick
This track is based on a blues type chord structure with a very
sixteenth note funk bass line. The notes in bracketts are not
always played. The chorus is tough but if you play it slowly at
first you will get it. Listen to the track carefully for some
of the timing cause some parts are off—beat!
