    Just watched a 1973 version with Meisner, Frey, and Leadon. Bernie certainly had a Tele but the camera didn't really let me see if it was a B-Bender. Anyway in magic [card tricks etc] the question is never "How'd he that?" But rather, "What do I know how to do to get that?"

    you should teach more solos. The guitar lesson market is saturated with lessons for people who are just starting out (this is great and, in fact, was very helpful for me, specially since your videos are so good). However, now that i find myself as an intermediate guitarist, I want to break through and play solos as that next step. Unfortunately, it is hard to find videos breaking down how to play solos. Often, the best one can get is a 30 second video with a tab scrolling through the bottom.

    Justin I've been watching your videos and using your website since probably 2012. Top notch content as always. I'm no Eagles expert, but I have heard that a b bender was used for at least a couple other songs on this same record and Ive seen a picture of the b bender that was allegedly used. That picture seems to match the guitar used in an early recording I saw of this tune being played but tragically the camera man was a legend and filmed the drummer during the entire solo so I cannot 100% prove those bends were the b bender and not fingers but I can get pretty close. Also this song is from their first record and was actually before the Joe Walsh era! He joined in 1975.

    What is the advantage (or necessity) of the b-bender in this particular solo? I don’t see any reason why you can’t just bend the b-string normally. Even if it’s not necessary, what makes it sound different than finger bending?

    The first half of the lesson is great. The second half is a rambling mess. Stop noodling. Recap the licks like you do in the first half. What fret do you bend on the last bend? Is it the 13th or 14th fret on the B string, because you don't say. I guess I've got an idea to work with for the second half, but I could have just as easily got that from tablature without all the rambling.
