"Life In The Fast Lane" - The Eagles

Hello Fretlight Players - here is this week's FREE "Fretlight Video Riff"!

This week's Riff features the intro section from "Life In The Fast Lane" as played by The Eagles. The riff for this song incorporates two different guitar parts, each playing the same melody, but in different octaves. The main section is played by the first guitar in a lower octave while the second guitar doubles this part an octave higher. This week's Riff includes both sections (the low as well as high octave parts). Technique wise, this riff incorporates some hammer-ons as well as some very fast slides that give the riff a bluesy, "slippery" type of sound. Remember that you can SLOW DOWN the video and LOOP IT until you can get both guitar parts up to full speed.
