Peaceful Easy Feeling is a great song and a big hit for the Eagles and it was written
by a man named Jack Tempchin.
The song's in the key of E and on that original recording there's just a lot of guitar tracks
weaving throughout the song.
I was able to boil it down to just one playable acoustic part and one playable electric part
except for that guitar solo where we really needed to bring in that second low electric
guitar to get it sounding right.

I like [A] the way you're sparkling [E] in the [A] evening

Alright, [E]
Peaceful Easy Feeling, one of my all time favorites.
It's got one strum pattern that you just saw and that's going to get us through really
the whole song and then the song basically goes intro, verse, chorus, and then it repeats.
It goes the first verse and chorus, second, then the solo, and then the third.
But once we learn that format and the chord progression, we're really going to be okay
to get through the whole thing.
So let's start by learning just this introduction.
We're going to get our fingers on a standard E chord, which is low E, open, second fret
of A, second [G#] of D, first [B] of G, [E] open B, open high E.
Then the intro, so before the verses, it's really on E, moving to an E sus, which we
can leave just like we had it for the E chord and then put our pinky down on the second
fret of G.
You can take your pointer finger off for that.
And we're going back and forth.
And we're anticipating the suspended chord, excuse me, and then anticipating when we go back.
So down, down, down, up, down, up, [B] down.
Now we're to a chorus.
When we get to a chorus, we're going to use the same chorus.
We're going to throw one new one in [F#m] there.
This is the kind that [E] Glenn Frey was [F#m] playing.
[E] And this is F sharp minor seven over E.
[F#m] It's really much nicer than playing a F sharp minor
bar chord anyway, [E] and it sounds pretty.
So we got low, E string [C#] is open, then we got fourth [F#] fret of A, fourth [A] fret of D, second
fret of [B] G, open B.
[E]
One, two, three, go.
[N] All right, in this tutorial, we're going to cover all the lead work except for the guitar solos.
So we're just going to go right in the order of the tabs, the way we hear it.
For tone, you can hear that super trebly country tone on [C#m] the
But [A]
for the rest of the song, I like to keep a little more bass and mids in there, so I'm
going to do that in this tutorial, so it will sound more [E] like
[A] [E]
We'll save that super trebly country tele sound for the chorus solo that we'll learn later.
All right, so let's start with the intro, what I was just playing there.
So we're going to start here on the fourth fret of D.
We're going to be sliding up to six.
I'll demonstrate it real quick [E] here.
[D] [E]
[A] [Em]
[A] [Em]
[E] In this tutorial, we're going to do the whole solo section for the high electric guitar.
We'll do the low kind of melody that you hear on a quick tutorial after this one.
We're going to break this up into two parts.
The first part is kind of this counter melody to what's going on on the low [F#] part.
[G#] [A]
[E] We're kind of up here doing a really pretty counter melody, and then the second thing
that we're going to learn is when we're going to switch over to our kind of classic tele [A] sound.
All right, [D] so first let's do the first part, so when we're kind of soloing over the verse
progression, and we're going to even do the intro to that part.
I'm still going to keep this on my middle pickup for this section.
I'll give a little more warmth, and we're going to do this right from the intro part.
