No doubt best guitar teacher on KZbin!

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

Without a doubt! Hands down the best!

[@khimaros]

@@I.M.Guitar-Nerd Love your username. Can relate.....

[@Gullsz]

Nope. He should repeat each phrase after he has showed you, so you can her how it actually goes.

[@gregorysmith2660]

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!

[@Geetargramps]

YEAH....MARTY SCHWARTZ!! this guy's ok.

[@meralynandcharleswalker3171]

Great lesson Justin, thank you. You're right about the B bender, Bernie Leadon used his B bender Telecaster on this track and quite a few others.

[@msenecal]

I have been working on this lead for years (sad to say). The idea of outlining the chords makes it much easier to understand. Thank Justin.

[@tallpaul69]

That's my weekend right there. Oh yes. Thank you Sir.

[@Lordyosch]

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!

[@rmay55]

Excellent teaching, Justin. I love this song. More Eagles songs and solos, please.

[@bonjongokid5468]

What a teacher and guitarist!!! Explains the underlying chords concepts so beautifully. And what of his playing too, eih??? Wow!!

[@nckwlch]

Thanks justin another great freebie for us struggling guitarists

[@gavinp.2603]

I have been waiting for this day for many moons. Thanks Justin!

[@perryseltz8010]

I've been waiting for you to do this one for years :)

[@tonyb3098]

One of your best! I don't comment a lot, but I have learned so much from your lesson on YT and your website. Tony

[@warwicksmiley]

This is pure gold, IMO, Love the feel of this. This stands the test of time. Great work Justin.

[@mattw7250]

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.

[@fabriziobisso9682]

One of the best solos! By one of the best teachers!

[@Brianbauermusic]

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!

[@Leepal1969]

What a coincidence, I was listening to this track when this video pops up on my youtube list! I will endeavour to learn it.

[@rsharmaosi]

Great lesson Justin, loved it! Your teaching style is so natural and easy to learn from.

[@ordoorion]

So pleasing to the ears

[@rayclark9643]

Nicely done Justin!

[@jordanbanks3233]

Love ya, buddy. You're definitely the much undersung hero in my story.

[@kevinansari8612]

Wow thanks Justin!!!

[@TroyNaumu808]

Thank You !!!

[@ravenartsandgraphics4456]

Another awesome video. I absolutely LOVE your 12th fret inlay!!

[@bb_lz9790]

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!

[@pw8548]

thanks for the lesson Justin 🙏

[@Madness-iwnl]

I love this song, I wish you could do a tutorial for the second solo from the live concert 1977. Thank you!

[@kellya8425]

Very talented! Thank you

[@Rimjohn]

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 :)

[@thefirstdude]

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. 🎸😎👍🏼

[@prepre73]

Thanks for the lesson Justin, nice more friendly solo to be working on 👍

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

I commend you on your bravery in tackling anything Eagles related on KZbin. If Don Henley calls, don't answer it!

[@timsharkey1993]

Tying it to the chords makes it so much easier

[@roygregorysr5327]

A very great teacher

[@kevinmorris7722]

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.

[@Blueforyou66]

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.

[@Sportingalagrieska]

I'm gonna work on this one, all time classic 👌

[@aengusoconcheanainn7987]

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.

[@freddysnightmare8391]

thank you young man

[@PapaMorriTV]

Daghang salamat Sir Justin❤ from Mindanao Philippines

[@mehtaarian1]

First comment and like. Yay...excellent teaching

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

Nice!

[@hawleybrowder4083]

I read somewhere that Bernie Leadon used B Bender”. As usual you have a great ear.

[@stoppanigiovannino]

Bellissimo solo, grande Justin

[@mykneeshurt8393]

How does this video not get flagged by the band that wrote it.....? Great lesson. thank you Justin!

[@TheTeaDubz]

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.

[@CFLDumpsters]

I wish there was a fret live showing how the solo fits or is used in the different shapes for scales/triads etc..

[@genghisfimpley3516]

Easier than I thought except for that second to last bit

[@anattakrudejmodel7701]

Excellent 🎉🎉

[@GinoNissa-bh4uz]

HIGH QUALITY ❤️

[@tigerxl3918]

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.

[@boneyrone]

Amazing lesson , Justin..... Thank you SO MUCH !!!!!!! ( I reported the scam on your contest a few weeks ago )

[@BobWestWA8YCD]

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?"

[@benrait6764]

Very good lesson. Are those filter tron pickups? Or something similar?

[@benrait6764]

@@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.

[@susanroycroft89]

I can't see the back one but the front one sure looks filtertron, it has a slightly different sound too, nice 😮

[@benrait6764]

@@susanroycroft89 Yes, the front one is a filtertron. There is a link he sent me that describes the guitar. You can see it above in his reply to me.

[@MrPhins]

Alrighty then, I'll catch the next one 🤣

[@BonesDT]

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?

[@johnclonch738]

It sounded good to me

[@kasato4kin]

Awesome! But please My Friends by RHCP

[@crungechannel483]

Thank you for your GREAT PERFORMANCE❗❗😍😍 If possible plz my EAGLES cover too🎸🎸

[@davidbrown2806]

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.

[@เซ็งเซ็ง-ฐ9ซ]

good boy.

yup, B leadon played a B bender, said so on an interview AND you can see himplayin it live on U tube... ;0) M

[@ryanmoore2779]

The Dude Abides

[@hunterhobbs4374]

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?

[@60retired]

Bernie Leadon played with the Eagles when they recorded take it easy and he did play a B-Bender, Joe Walsh didn’t.

[@harmonkatz6983]

Great video, but is that strat pink?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

What's that got to do with anything? But yes!

[@ronperry9904]

I almost got it. I think there's more talking than Showing Bare with me! lol

[@guitarz99]

now play with some feeling

[@IkadekDanny]

Great but lick 7 is chaos. Difficult to make sense of the way it’s thought.

[@Mittser]

[@paulmera7677]

A few mistakes!

[@shibalehill9409]

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

[@calibrazxr750]

[@PeedarTragedy]

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.

[@desperado6255]

I really wish you could just show the solo one way. It’s too confusing with the counting and the possible slide . Sorry

[@desperado6255]

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
