Play Steely Dan's "Aja" on Piano Without Sheet Music

Steely Dan’s “Aja” is a treat for anyone curious about the space between rock and jazz. The harmonies are rich and a little unexpected, which makes this medium-level lesson a great way to stretch your ear and your hands at the same time.

Lavender breaks the arrangement into clear sections and explains the chord shapes that give the song its sophisticated sound. Expect to come away with new voicings you can use well beyond this one song.
