Best, of a certain type - so easy and clear to watch and my go-to for learning a song I like, quickly. For a deeper dive, Paul Davids ticks that box for me. So, Justin + Paul = Dream Team!
The original solo is 100 percent performed on a b bender. Check out their live version from bbc concert in 1972 you can clearly see Bernie Leadon bending the notes with the b bender strap.
Justin, I can't thank you enough for this lesson! I've been learning with you for a few years and this is one of my favourite songs. To be able to play the solo (recognisably, not perfectly...yet) feels amazing!
great lesson! I've got it sounding pretty decent already in 20 minutes or so. I love how you explain other ways to use the licks and what chords go with them. And it's right!
Great and very useful lesson, thanks for sharing! Beautiful guitar too with a fantastic combination of pickups (Humbucker, single coil and Filtertron) and a hard-tail to boot!
Justin, just awesome. I love what you do. Thanks for helping us all out. I’m a fan of the Jackson Browne version because it’s his song (GF helped out with a couple of lyrics and got writing credit). The Eagles’ version is fun, too. Will try to learn this guitar part (from your web site). Thanks again. 🎸😎👍🏼
Hi Justin - it's always a pleasure to watch your videos, it got me so much further than where I started from. Thank you so much! I always hope that you'll give Yes' Roundabout a try. The whole net is full of teaching the intro, but unfortunately I can't find anything for all the rest, especially the pre-chorus.
Cool lesson. Like seeing where it comes from. Makes it way easier to follow using chord tones in the brain. Also, I'd bet you're right about the bender??? Thanks Justin.
I've been revisiting this song for the last few weeks! I thought this video must be an older one. Thanks for this Justin, can't wait to check it out :)
Hey Justin, Awesome video, you never fail to teach so well every video. The only thing missing though, AMP SETTINGS. The tone sounds so nice yet I cant replicate. I was just wondering what settings you used for the song. Keep up the good work.
Just watched a 1973 version with Meisner, Frey, and Leadon. Bernie certainly had a Tele but the camera didn't really let me see if it was a B-Bender. Anyway in magic [card tricks etc] the question is never "How'd he that?" But rather, "What do I know how to do to get that?"
you should teach more solos. The guitar lesson market is saturated with lessons for people who are just starting out (this is great and, in fact, was very helpful for me, specially since your videos are so good). However, now that i find myself as an intermediate guitarist, I want to break through and play solos as that next step. Unfortunately, it is hard to find videos breaking down how to play solos. Often, the best one can get is a 30 second video with a tab scrolling through the bottom.
Justin I've been watching your videos and using your website since probably 2012. Top notch content as always. I'm no Eagles expert, but I have heard that a b bender was used for at least a couple other songs on this same record and Ive seen a picture of the b bender that was allegedly used. That picture seems to match the guitar used in an early recording I saw of this tune being played but tragically the camera man was a legend and filmed the drummer during the entire solo so I cannot 100% prove those bends were the b bender and not fingers but I can get pretty close. Also this song is from their first record and was actually before the Joe Walsh era! He joined in 1975.

@@JustinGuitarSongs Cool guitar. Quite a range of sounds. I have a Gretsch with the filtertrons and I really like them. No hum, and more character than a bucker imho.
Lick 4 ....... according to the authentic Eagles tab book ...... they show a slide to the Gb on the G string. Your version sounds better as it takes the transition down neck into two segments. More natural.
What is the advantage (or necessity) of the b-bender in this particular solo? I don’t see any reason why you can’t just bend the b-string normally. Even if it’s not necessary, what makes it sound different than finger bending?
Anyone have any idea how much money it takes to put those kind of pickups on a Stratocaster? Is it easy enough to be done from home? How complicated is that particular upgrade? Is it just cheaper to buy a telecaster?

i love your work but 90% of my time is trying to figure out were your fingers are going to. if you slowed it down 50% so you can see whats happening you would retain rough figure 80% more people. i actually go searching for some one who is fingering slower to another site... slow it down you will keep more people
The first half of the lesson is great. The second half is a rambling mess. Stop noodling. Recap the licks like you do in the first half. What fret do you bend on the last bend? Is it the 13th or 14th fret on the B string, because you don't say. I guess I've got an idea to work with for the second half, but I could have just as easily got that from tablature without all the rambling.
You lost me on the C and you spend too much time on useless info. Lets just assume that none of have Clarence White's B bender, and get that confusing tidbit out of the way. I've watched the video six times and the time spent on the various ways to play the C and the Em have left me completely confused. Sorry have to find a less confusing tutorial
