Lockdown Licks no. 319. ‘Bad Sneakers’ by Steely Dan. Walter Becker style solo. Seen by many as one of the great electric guitar solos of all time, Becker flits between jazz/blues/rock style riffs beautifully. His music will always be fondly remembered.
Played on a Fender Stratocaster 1980s MIJ. Into a NUX M8 amp set to ‘superlead’with some reverb.
Bad Sneakers” is a song by jazz rock band Steely Dan. It was released as the second single and track on their 1975 album Katy Lied. Producer Gary Katz later regretted not releasing the song as the first single.
One of my favourites amongst many epic Steely Dan songs. Their music was truly sublime.
