How to play 'Best Of My Love' by The Eagles

An absolute classic! This is one of the first Eagles songs I ever heard and I still love it 50 years later - Wow! Join me as we take apart the strumming patterns and chord shapes for this gorgeous ballad. There are a couple of really cool fills as well that you'll want to dive right into. As always, we'll do a full playalong toward the end and I've also thrown in a lead part at the very end that captures the melody of that hauntingly catchy chorus - fabulous!
I'm using the 'Blues 2' pattern on my Beatbuddy at 90BPM for those that want to know.

Without a doubt, one of the most memorial and affecting rhythm guitar riffs of all time.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Fabulous. Thanks Kim. Shane

[@rick423]

Shane continues to put the best out the content on KZbin if you want to learn how to play and improve on the guitar regardless of level. His decades of experience and love for what he does always shine thru not to mention immense talent. We’re lucky he’s out here.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey thank you Rick - it really makes my day to read a comment like yours - hugely encouraging. I always have fun making these videos and it’s so great to hear from people who are enjoying them. My very best to you! Shane

[@matthewoneill3692]

I love the eagles and I love Shane tutorials. I'm so happy when these two worlds collide

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey a big thank you Matt - very glad you are enjoying. I can't get enough Eagles in my life. All the best and enjoy! Shane

[@robertjackson5464]

Another fantastic lesson! The thing I truly enjoy about your lessons is that there is plenty of goodness for intermediate players too. Thanks for all you do!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey Robert - thank you so much - very encouraging! I really enjoy making these videos and it's amazing to hear from people who are enjoying them. My very best to you and a big thank you for taking the time to comment. Cheers! Shane

[@davidradley8837]

Eagles, Eagles, Eagles…can’t get enough. So glad you love them like we all do ! Aside from your ongoing fabulous teaching , your song sheets are money. I’m sure they’re time consuming to write but they make all the difference in the world. Please keep ‘em coming ! Thanks Shane ! You’re greatly appreciated.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey David - a huge thank you for that - it means the world to me. My best to you, Shane

[@walther9161]

Second time back to refresh my memory and noticed the lead stuff.. pretty nice !! 👍😊

[@LMacNeill]

The first measure -- that C7 to hammer-on C riff -- is *exactly* like _Still the Same_ from Bob Seger. 🙂 Another excellent lesson and play-along! Thanks!

[@GuitarAtWork]

A big thank you for that - best to you! Shane

[@erasmogonzales7428]

i was born in 1974, and this song still is hitting!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Fabulous indeed. Best to you! Shane

[@gnawbabygnaw]

When I first picked up a guitar the Cmaj7 was not only easy but beautiful to me. My first song I wrote was Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Gmaj7 and other stuff but that Cmaj7 is an inspiring sound to keep enduring the pain on the fingers. I’m a maj7 kinda guy. I’ve heard maj7 described as an optimistic sound. Great tip about using the side of the first finger when barring so it’s clearer than when the fat of the finger is trying to bar. 🤙🤙

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks for that. Beautiful indeed. Cheers! Shane

[@MrVasmikey]

Shane you are the best! Thx so much or your fine teaching!

[@GuitarAtWork]

A big thank you. Glad you enjoyed! Shane

[@brettgatz5834]

Great content, easy to follow. This channel is def going good places

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Brett - glad you enjoyed. My best to you, Shane

[@waynetozer3881]

Another of my favourite Eagles songs. Thanks for the guidance on improvisation around the melody. Super useful for those of us that can’t sing 😮

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey Wayne - thank you lad - hugely encouraging to hear that and I'm happy you are here with us. Shane

[@amberforsey5187]

One of my favorite Eagles songs. ❤ Thank you for the lesson!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Me too - great song indeed. Have fun with it! Shane

[@frankgobell5025]

Shane, I remember the earlier video on this song you did years ago. So glad you decided to do this updated version as it has the play-along, which is so valuable to get everything down and to find the areas we all need to work on. A great tune to add to one's repertoire. Thanks!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Frank - great feedback indeed and greatly appreciated. I get a lot of good comments about the playalong aspect in these videos. So glad it’s working. My best to you! Shane

[@geraldcharlton1236]

Best part … Play-along!!!!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Gerald - happy to have you here! Shane

[@dukeofearl4117]

Thanks Shane for another great pick. Eagles are my favorite.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks for that - they're a HUGE favourite of mine as well. It's amazing how the stuff you first heard as a kid sticks with you for decades.......it's like comfort food of some sort I'd say. My best to you and thanks for taking the time to write! Shane

[@JimmysGarden]

Such a lovely song. thanks Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Jimmy - it's lovely indeed. I hope you have a great time with this one and thanks for taking the time to comment - Cheers! Shane

[@ecttreker9816]

Another awesome lesson Shane. One thing thats become obvious to me is that some people are natural teachers and you are definitely one of those teachers. 👍👍

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey thank you for that. Very encouraging. Hope you have fun with it! Shane

[@walther9161]

Thanks Shane for your expertise and help!!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Walther - glad you’re enjoying! Shane

[@xcesta]

Beautiful song, awesome lesson. Thank you Shane! Keep up the good work!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey thank you - so glad you enjoyed. I always have fun doing these videos and am so happy to hear from those who are enjoying them. Super! Have fun with it, Shane

[@philf4086]

Great tutorial, I especially like that you played it on the 6 string for lesson purposes. It is plain as day when you hear the song that there is at least one acoustic 12 string in there. Anyone lucky enough to have a 12 string will know everything required to play this song!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Phil - much appreciated. Such a great song. Thanks for taking the time to write. Cheers! Shane

[@erichscheel873]

Wheeeee!!! Quintessential Eagles song. If I can still sing it, now I can finally learn to play it!! Thanks Shane. Best Regards

Hey Erich - thanks for that - my best to you and I hope you have fun with it! Shane

[@mannymanuel07]

Awesome. I ❤it.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Manny! Shane

[@gnawbabygnaw]

That Aeros looper. It went by pretty quick but the Gold version has silent buttons. The normal Aeros looper has buttons that make a clicking sound like all buttons. If you’re going for an Aeros, consider the Gold version. 😊

[@GuitarAtWork]

Exactly right. I’m using the Gold version with silent buttons. Fabulous! Shane

[@billmoran935]

Love it. Thank you so much

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey Bill - very glad too hear that - Have fun with it! Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Thanks Steve. Shane

[@wallymurray620]

Such a great song, brings back a lot of memories of my teenage years in the seventies as do so many Eagles songs, absolutely love it, thanks! Love the lead stuff with the looper you’re doing with this one, looks like so much fun. Hope you’re doing well Shane, not too cold or too much snow. Other than a spell a few weeks back it hasn’t been too bad here in Airdrie. Hey, I know you had to pull a Hotel California lesson down a few years back because of a copyright strike, ever thought of trying to another one, love to see how you would do it. Take care Wally

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey Wally - thanks for that - and always happy to hear from you. I agree completely.....Eagles songs I first heard at the tender age of about ten have stuck with me - they're a part of my DNA - amazing. I will definitely take another stab at Hotel Cal as it seems they may have relaxed their copyright stance. As you know, I did one a few years ago for that song and they blocked it worldwide. Madness. Best to you lad and take best care! Shane

[@curtwyman]

Maybe unrelated as it is a Bass Guitar comment; I ABSOLUTELY love the way the Bass “rolls in” during the into of this song…

[@GuitarAtWork]

Me too Curt - thanks for that. Super! Shane

[@craigparse1439]

Great song and much easier to play than it looks.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Craig - I completely agree. Best to you! Shane

[@TYB439]

Shane, I love your channel and the way that you teach and explain. Although I know 8-9 chord shapes, my chord progression is way too slow to play any songs. Love the CCR and Kansas (DITW) videos. Would like to see Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. Thanks.

[@gmord3903]

Hi Shane. Have you ever done a lesson for “Give a little bit”? 😮I love to hear/see your version. Thanks again for the excellent lessons.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Yes I have - hope you enjoy! How to play 'Give A Little Bit' by Supertramp kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5mai2R4ir6GoM0

Shane Thank. You for another great lesson. You are a fantastic teacher. Please tell us about your Taylor Guitar ? What specific model is it And tone woods? Thanks again 😊

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Charlie - so glad you’re enjoying. I’m playing a Taylor 814ce (2019). I really like it. Cheers! Shane

Hey Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Paul - Happy to have you here with us! Shane

[@cdusty308]

I don’t know which scale the solo is in. I’m trying to learn so I’m going to say, I think it’s the C Maj scale even though I would have said A minor without the context of the song. Is anyone willing to tell me if I’m right or wrong and why. Thank you.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey - you’re right. It’s in C. If you know the chords in the key of C it makes sense. Best to you! Shane

[@tim_oop]

Il faudrait ; commencer par : intro : couplet : refrain ! Et après rentrer dans les détails et les explications ! Ça intéresserais beaucoup plus de personnes . Mais bon c'est déjà bien !.😊

[@GuitarAtWork]

Merci Tim - my very best to you! Cheers! Shane
