    The transcription provides the bass line for the 1972 Steely Dan song 'Reelin' In The Years' over its 6 pages, showing how it develops across the verses and choruses.

    The bass line starts simply in the intro and verse but becomes more complex, adding notes and variations, as the song progresses through the choruses and solo sections.

    The bassist employs different rhythmic techniques like syncopation, dotted notes, and rests to drive the song forward while complementing the guitar and vocals.
