Kahuna I lived on oahu and maui is this where your from? i know the phrase "Big Kahuna" means someone who is in charge but regarding your statement i agree that its left to interpretation how you phrase any song so you were correct in saying what you did about Glen Frey's hand posistion but i am used to playing the lead guitar but i still have to play rythem at some point in a song i think its like apples and oranges when it comes to how you phrase any song and as long as the audence is happy thats all that counts have a good one kahuna russell

Re: strumming tequila sunrise (12 replies, posted in Acoustic)
how is watching "glenn's hand" going to teach joy the basics of music? if you understand the basics you wont need to watch anyone's hand, most strumming patterns are laid out systematacally in easy to understand formats in addition to time,note value,scale construction and a great deal more that is why i suggested taking lessons because in the long run(another Eagles song)it will provide a greater benifit>

I've been playing Taquila Sunrise for a while now, and it's a pretty steady strum pattern. The reason why it sounds quicker is because of one switching the root note from 5th string 2rd fret to 4th string 2nd fret in the bar. This switch keeps the rhythm steady throughout. I also remember watching Glenn Frey adding a quick double strum to a few parts of the song. But, it's not required.
If you're watching You Tube, try to finding the Hell Freezes Over version. You can see Glenn's hand pretty clearly on how he switches during the song. Good luck!
