In that case you are counting the first note as the 1. It isn't, it's the 4&. I assure you the whole song is straight 4 in the bar. No half bars or complicated time signatures. The intro chords are anticipated, ie on the 4& not the 1. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We do this song and dont have any problems with the original studio version intro. It's not a complicated song. The trickiest bits are getting our rhythm git to remember on the 2nd verse there's an added D between the E and C when the vocals are going BaaaaaaaaaaaaayBeeeeeeeeeeeee. And that D slips in again between the E and C in the solo. And then there's that one odd A minor in the first verse after the solo, where the C is skipped , and so it goes from D to A minor instead of D to C.

wateroftyne Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Start it on the off-beat and you’ll be fine. They’re crafty buggers, those Eagles. Love ‘em. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer.b Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Just listened to it, caught me out 1st time , I assumed the big chord was on beat one but when the drums came in realised it's on the "and" or offbeat or quaver or anticipated Tap your foot with the big strum on the up and count the beats out loud(and 1 and 2 etc), you'll get it Edited May 20, 2023 by spencer.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) The easiset way is to count with ' and ' in the timing. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and <-- Ist guitar chord is here... 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. <--- 2nd chord. So then you have the same timing for next chords on the ' ands' till the song kicks in Edited May 20, 2023 by fleabag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using Nashville Number System, its written with this symbol " ^ "....Its very common, especially in country songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anticipating beat one is "life in the fast lane" for some, it seems... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
