We've visited this song several times because it contains my favorite Steely Dan guitar solo, courtesy of Denny Dias, one of the least known of the great guitarists of rock. I spent some time looking at cover versions of the solo on YouTube. Most weren't very good. Then I came across the one below by Tom Lane. It's the closest I've seen to Dias, almost capturing his tone, and to my ear only a little off in a couple of places.
Most impressively, Lane attempts the four phrases at the end of the solo, unlike most others who don't even try. Lane has a lot of other outstanding covers which you can find by going here.
