Lockdown Licks’ no. 136. “New Kid in Town” by Eagles. Lead solo played on a Stratocaster through a NUX M8 on “superlead” setting. Original by Don Felder on guitar. A short but sweet solo in the country rock style. The Eagles were one of the bands who provided the “blueprint” on this guitar and song style, still followed to this day! Thanks to Roger a friend who requested it!
