How to play Tequila Sunrise by The Eagles - Rhythm and Solo - Guitar Lesson Tutorial

In this guitar lesson tutorial we look at how to play both the rhythm and lead sections of Tequila Sunrise by the Eagles. The song was written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. It was the first single from the band's second album Desperado in 1973.
The song uses mainly open position chords with an interesting rhythm and fill, and has a solo comprised mainly of double stops.
Solo begins at: 7:43

Hi Paul, thanks so much - you're a gifted teacher - made such a potentially difficult song so straightforward to follow. I've looked at other videos on how to play 'Tequila Sunrise'but they often seem to leave critical points to 'assumption' i.e. you somehow have to work it out yourself! But you explain each part so clearly. This is by far the best lesson! Thanks again

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

Hi Johnny, thanks for that kind comment. Glad the video helped.

[@raymonde.johnson8820]

That was great. Thanks for sharing!
Nice lesson. Only suggestion would be a guitar that has the markings on the fretboard.
dear Paul , great lesson...thankyou for being so clear about such tricky rhythm .
Great teaching

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

Are you in the U.S? If so it's been blocked there by Universal Music Publishing. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry.

Actually i am in Ireland. Was only watching it last nite,
A pity was a great vid.The best i have seen 😟

Dear Paul. Thanks for this great lesson. Played the song last night at an open mike event and it sounded really good. Haven't managed the middle section yet, so will focus on that now. Cheers Les. 🎸

[@chrishargreaves2712]

As chris bliss said why not sing it THE way to learn , it amazes me as to the number of song lessons yt with no vocal line it is a ....song !!!

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

I will give it a go in future videos, but after hearing me sing you might wish I hadn't.

[@chrishargreaves2712]

Heanor School Of Music fair comment but i find the best way to learn is to use the lyric as a cue for chord changes aids memory of song (for me) enjoyed your playing

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

Believe it or not, it never occurred to me, probably because I tend to learn songs by ear, so I'm memorising as I work it out. Happy to give it a go, and await the stream of comments telling me to shut up. I hope the video was of some use to you.

[@jdean0001]

good lesson but would be easier to follow if you used a guitar with dots on the neck for easier reference.

[@teammega68]

Nice lesson. Only suggestion would be a guitar that has the markings on the fretboard.

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

Thanks for the comment Bill. I'm saving up for a new guitar so I'll make sure I get one with fretboard markings.
