New Kid In Town - Eagles (play-along for guitar)

This is a screen-capture video from a TuneLing for "New Kid In Town" from the album "Hotel California", by Eagles. This song is also available in a separate TuneLing video for ukulele! Notes: Eagles (not "The Eagles"!) was one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, and justifiably so. They merged country with rock and roll, wrote amazingly great songs, played like monsters, and sang like angels. This song is a prime example of all that. We're not gonna lie to you - this one has a LOT of chords, many of which are barre chords, so it might be a little intimidating for the new players. But fear not! Practice makes everything perfect, and this one is worth the effort. There are not a lot of technical details to point out - the video is really self-explanatory. There are a few things to notice though: 1) In bar 34 (start of Verse 3), the chord's volume fades until bar 36. You could just strike one chord and let it sustain for two bars, or play something else, but observe the deliberate sense of quiet as the verse begins. Don't get loud there! 2) In bar 65, there are four chords in four beats - this is just something that will improve quickly for you with just a bit of practice - but it's the busiest bar in the song. 3) The song "modulates" (that's a music theory term) from the key of E to the key of G, at bar 76, with the two previous bars setting up the harmonic change that's about to happen. Then it modulates back to E at bar 100, with the two previous bars setting up that change. This is not at all important in terms of playing the song - it's just a nice tidbit of musical knowledge for the song-writing aficionados out there! Finally, some of the chords for the UKULELE could easily be modified for playability's sake. Generally, this means that for some shapes, you could leave out one string either by NOT playing it, or by muting it (or both). How you approach this is entirely dependent on your own skills, and hands. But we'll give you a list of strings that you could OPTIONALLY omit/mute, if you want to try this (we recommend you do!): Fourth string in the G# chord Fourth string in the F# chord Fourth string in the C#m chord First string in the E chord ...and the ending of the song starting at bar 114 switches back and forth between the C#m and the E chord, both of which could be simplified, so that's a great place to experiment with it. Ready? OK, give this one a shot - it's really kind of a masterpiece - and ENJOY! --- Please LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE to the TuneLings channel, to help more people lead happier lives by making music!
