I stopped playing guitar around 2008 just before I had kids. A whole new has opened up with youtube, starting with YOU, sir, I could play every chord you threw down, haven't lost it! Thanks~!!!!
Thank you, Shane! Sixty-two years of age and picked up a guitar at the beginning of the year....bucket list thing! Eagles are my favorite band and this song is at the top of the list. You do a wonderful job teaching it and I will learn it through you. Thank you so much! Subscribed!!!
Shane, I first discovered this channel when looking up this song as an absolute beginner a year ago. Immediately had to go to something easier after i saw that Bm and that 3 beat G/ C/G combo. Yesterday I revisited the charts, and hacked a way to keep the same strumming pattern on that G > C/G > G in the chorus. To my ears, it sounds better "hammering on" the C/G. And I also use a four fingered G right before the G9, so I just need to move the top two fingers down to make G9. I learnt all these little tricks in your other videos, and managed to put together something that I'm really happy with, albeit something that isn't exactly true to your charts, but I wanted to thank you for your tutorials and your gift of knowledge.
This is another great lesson, boy am I enjoying these in the pandemic. One thing that I did was before the G9 in the chorus during the "I thought by now" I use the *non* big kid G so that the transition from that to the G9 is facile--two of the fingers (3 and 4) are already in place and the other two (1 and 2) can move easily from the G to the G9. I hope Shane blesses this idea. :) Apologies if there is something heinous about it!
Classic song & great lesson Shane! As the story goes, Glenn & Don were having breakfast one morning & in walks this old codger with a young chick attached to his arm. So, Glenn looks at Don and says "She's got those Lyin Eyes". The words no sooner came out of his mouth when they proceeded to write the lyrics on the back of a napkin in about 15 mins! Pure musical genius! Gotta love the Eagles.......................... :)
Great video. Very clear and well-presented. I was just bumming around on RU-vid, looking for ideas for classic rock songs to teach a kid who is a high beginner/low intermediate player and ran across your video. I thought the G9 chord might be too complicated for him, but then I realized that if I taught him the “bluegrass” G shape (3-2-0-0-3-3) for the chorus section it would make it easier. By anchoring his ring and little fingers on the two high strings he only has to make a transition with his index and middle fingers, a skill you’ve already taught with the C/G shape. Voilá! He nailed it with just a bit of repetition. And as a bonus, he now knows three G fingerings in the open position. 😉
Hi Shane. I really enjoy your content. Picked up guitar a little over a year ago at the age 68 & retired Telecommunication Engr. I've been lurking in the background for a while and thought It was time to sub. Love the channel along with your expertice. TU Roger
Hello Shane and all. 👋 Revisiting this great lesson… Love this song, wanted to brush up on it. You are a tremendous teacher when it comes to teaching Songs Shane! So appreciate all you do
Thank you so much. Some (other) lessons don't give the strum pattern, or enough info in general, but your lessons are nice and complete. Much appreciated 🎶😎.
I've been looking at guitar-tutorial videos for a couple of years and yours are the best. You explain things very well, you have great energy and a good song selection. Keep up the good work... and thanks for the music sheets
Love it. You might want to remind them that when they do a barre chord that it will be easier if they move their thumb up under center of their weaker fingers. Seems unnatural but it works.
I thought I would never learn Tequila Sunrise, but because of your explanation I did it, also with the play along that is very helpful. So with that said I have subscribed and I appreciate your help ,now this new tutorial is my new challenge, two new chords to learn. Thanks very very much.
Hey, After many years not playing, I picked up my guitar again this year 2021 and already learned so much from you. So far I've learned Lyin Eyes & Tin Man liking your channel going to look for more. Thanks
I learned this about 40 years ago using a hybrid pick/strum with index finger, to a full picking pattern (Travis style) back to a pick/ strum, with alternating base strings. Admittedly, that is more advanced, and will put someone at an intermediate level. There are hammer ons as well. One also has to move up the fretboard with different voicings as well.
Thanks for a great video Shane. I appreciate that you are putting up another video that we can play along with at a lower speed than the original recording. Great idea!
Nice one Shane. This was one of the very first songs I tried to play 4/5 years ago, so naturally it's gone to the bottom of the pile. I look forward to revisiting it, and using your techniques. G9 here I come!
Love this song and many more that you have done, Shane. Thank you!! I have a request of my own… “Bad Timing” by Blue Rodeo. This is Nancy from British Columbia👋🏻
Eagles are known for multiple chords on Acoustic based songs, like Bitter Creek, for example. Many of the 3 chord songs actually have variations, often adding 7ths, not shown in most tabs.
Another great lesson Shane. I like the idea of the play along video. Will make it easier for me to get it right. I'm 53 and have only been playing a few years. I have bad hands, but I keep trying. Thanks so much for the lessons. I hope you and your family had a great Christmas. Have a safe New Year's. Charlie from Iowa.
Thank you windrider - I will upload the play alongvideo tomorrow morning - I appreciate you taking the time to let me know that it might be useful - keep at it and my very best to you this Christmas! Shane
Hi there 😊 So yes you have longer fingers so that is something I don’t have. My hands aren’t super small but I’m really struggling with barre chords because my pinky finger is smaller and weaker. I’ve been playing 3 years and this was the very first song I wanted to learn. However, I got it from ultimate guitar and I always play the simplified version with regular G throughout. It sounds good but I want to play it like you are. One after a year of trying to do barre chords I’m still struggling to get my fingers to move quick enough during a song. I Can almost play the Bm but it’s hit and miss. I have to really slow the song down to get it timely and the biggest problem is my pinky. It never goes where I want it to and it’s just weak. As well, l playing a normal G for 3 years now it’s so very awkward playing a Gmaj7 formation. Thanks for your tutorial and I will start trying to Learn the G maj7 for this song correctly. Any thoughts? Thank you!! Ryan
Thanks Ryan - I understand your struggle. Keep at it! Try this video: Master the B minor chord - ONCE AND FOR ALL! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GIWxcl-kP2g.html
Watched this video and Checked out his channel Subscribed immediately and dug the old guitar out again Failed in the past but the way he put it in simpler terms I might actually learn something this time we'll see how it goes thanks
The tutorial is pretty much ok for me to handle since I have played guitar since I was 16. Now I am 65. Beginners will struggle through these chords, I think.
Hi Shane…. Which model Taylor are you playing. Most of the time I play the Taylor “ Big Baby” Yours has such a rich tone👍💯Also many thanks for your many tutorials. One never stops learning😏
Outstanding lesson! I like your style. This is the first lesson of yours I've seen -- I will be back. Liked and Subscribed. Just a thought -- in the chorus, I struggle to move cleanly from the "Big Kids' G" to the G9. However, if I can remember to use the other G (the one you show at 1:22) for the second part of the chorus, the move to G9 keeps two anchor fingers and becomes much easier.
I'm fairly certain that "G9" you're playing in the chorus is supposed to be a G7. The A in the chorus is an A7. Also, most (if not all) the Ds in the verses are D7s.
In fact, it’s the other way around. Most people think it’s a G7 and that’s what they play. However, as Shane says, it’s supposed to be a G9. There are various ways to play a G9 but the essential point is that it’s a G7 with an added A note.
Thanks for the tutorial! Are those Yorkville speaker stands I see there, maybe from Long and McQuade, ha ha!! So, no root in that G9 chord? I guess the bass player would play that.
@@GuitarAtWork I know this excellent tutorial has been around awhile, but I would be interested in hearing why you don't consider what you call a G9 as an F69 - which from a theory I learned, it actually is. Still, a nice video.
Hi Shane when I go to your site it says download sheets, all well and good but how many sheets does it download and is it only for this song ? feeling a bit confused as I don't want 500 sheets to suddenly download :-) would appreciate a bit of info, bye and take care now in these strange Covid times..
Hi Shane excellent lesson. Just wondering what to do if someone "me" has an injury on my left hand that makes it impossible to do bar chords, help! And thank you
Just wondering ? do u grow your nails on your picking hand or do u have a manicurist put on fake nails? and if you do have nails put on what thickness are they? thanks for all u do . . . Keep on Jammin . . . : )
Does anyone know wtf happened to the other tutorial about the guitar fills Felder plays??? I swear I learned the fills about 8 months ago & I’m trying to come back to the video to get something straight. Does anyone else remember? I believe the guy in the tutorial had a telecaster. I can’t find the video anywhere , I don’t know why he would’ve taken it down , it was such a great tutorial !!!
