I've been hitting the road and the gym for the past two months, Commie. Not that I was massively overweight, before.

I'm a fairly hefty bloke to start with.

In case you're wondering... yes, I have now mastered Don Felder's solo, and I am now starting on Joe Walsh's one.
When you can play the duet at the end of HC on your own you will be the best ever :grin:
 
An octave apart should do it. It’s fairly simple to play that part, as good as it sounds to the layman.

Nope, it's thirds, starting with that lovely snaking 4 bars of walk down to the arpeggiated outro.

You need an intelligent pitch-shifter, as the thirds are scaler, so you need the shifter to keep in key as you move down the scale and through the chords.

That’s pretty easy to play too. But I don’t see it as arpeggiated, it’s a riff. They’re not chords.

I’ve only ever played it a couple of times in public. The one time there were two guitarists I played Felder’s part. The end of the out solo we just duetted.

It's arpeggiated because the notes are not permitted to ring together. They are chords, too.

Debunking what bullshit.

NSIS is wrong.

I'm not going to argue with him, because he has his own views on the matter, I have mine.

I believe that the outro solo is an arpeggiated series of chords, split into thirds between the two guitars (not octaves), and he doesn't.

That's the way I'm learning it, and I've listened to studio track about 200 times over the past three weeks, tabbing out both solos.
 
Definitely not chords the way I play it. It’s a riff.

It's a chordal riff, but they are definitely chords, since you play the leading note and its relative third.

It's aprgegggiated, because you do not play the notes together, but individually, so they do not ring out.
