This is my TAB to the first song on Steely Dan's "Countdown to Ecstacy" album,
I don't have the solos included right now, but I may come back in and give parts of the the
(I haven't gotten all of either solo figured out yet). It's a really easy song, though, 
(solos aside, of course. Those can be tricky) so enjoy!

That's it for now. There's really nothing else to it, though, until the second guitar
(where there's a key change to I think G minor).
