Steely Dan - The Best of Steely Dan (Guitar Recorded Versions)

This page was the 100th page created on the Sheet Music Wiki!
Steely Dan - The Best of Steely Dan (Guitar Recorded Versions) is a book by Hal Leonard. It contains guitar notation and tablature, as well as vocal notation with lyrics for each song. Despite it being named after the Transcribed Scores book of the same name, it features more songs and the tablature seems to be different as well. Also, despite having the same cover (except the background color), the book is also different from the Steely Dan Songbook for Piano/Vocal/Guitar.
The book also contains a biography on the band written by Bruce Pollock and John Stix, as well as interviews with some of the band members.
The book also advertises that one of the transcribers, Bob Heinink, is involved with several known music groups, as well as being a part of a Steely Dan tribute band known as The Royal Scam.
We have contacted Pete Billmann, who remembers transcribing Black Friday, Chain Lightning, Kid Charlemagne, and Time Out Of Mind. Pete says he may have transcribed other songs on the book, but can't remember which ones because it was too long ago. He also said this was one of his first projects for Hal Leonard.
