Anyone ever interpret this intro in Tablature?
I have a bad recording of it and cannot
hear it clearly. It seems very simply done with just a few moves and notes.
Need some help if anyone can oblidge.Roy ------------------

I just spent an hour trying to track down a clip of the intro on the Internet and then I realised I had the CD (duh  ).
This is what I hear after running it through slowblast a few times :
4------------------8E~8---
5----10~10A~10--10-8~~8A--
6-10B~~~~~~~~~10----------
but it isn't a steel on the record (is it ?)

I thought I was missing something in that
intro but you confirmed what I was hearing.
Sorry to take your time "mickd".
After further scrutiny you could be right;
it may not even be a steel; probably a skinny string lead. Your tab is right on with what
I was trying also. It will get things close. ------------------

Tequila Sunrise. If it's steel you're looking for, then get the Common Thread cd,
"Songs of the Eagles" done by various country artists. Mr. Alan Jackson did TS. Paul Franklin was the steeler and as always did a very tasteful intro, mid-point solo and fills. It was on Giant Records label. |

it was time well spent 
Its so laid back in the mix and the notes are so few that its really hard to pick it out isn't it ? I'm pretty sure its a regular lead guitar, not a steel.

A student asked me to teach this and that prompted my original post. This was the arrangement he wanted.
Thanks to all.------------------

mickd and Roy, I saw the Eagles in Rotterdam back in '72 or '73, and Bernie Leadon was playing a Tele with some sort of string bender on that song. Nice job again mickd. steve |

I used to play that lick on a Tele with "B" Bender, until that guitar got lifted from the club I was playing.The AJ version of that song I believe in in the key of E while the Eagles did it in G. I think on the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" DVD, Don Felder plays that lick on PSG. I know he plays at least one tune on PSG, and I think it's that one, haven't watched it in a while. |
