Andy Guitar
As always, Andy provides an upbeat and comprehensive lesson. This is his own composition, with his own tabs. Andy explains things like the recording using a capo on the 7th fret, but when the Eagles played live they usually put the capo on the 5th fret. Always nice little extras when Andy teaches.
