Lockdown Licks no. 203. “Lyin’ Eyes” by the Eagles. The intro solo played on a butterscotch Telecaster on neck pick up into a NUX M8 amp on a clean channel with a touch of chorus and reverb. Surely one of the most famous country rock intros. He plays a series of hammer on/pull off 2 and 3 string double stop riffs with some finger slide, before a single note run and back into further 3 and 2-note hammer on and finger slide riffs to end. Original played by Bernie Leadon I believe.
So….”get up, pour yourself a strong one” and give it a go on your guitars!
“Lyin’ Eyes” is a song written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey and recorded in 1975 by the American rock band Eagles, with Frey singing lead vocals. It was the second single from their album “One of These Nights”, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Country chart. It remained their only top 40 country hit until “How Long” in 2007–2008.
