Our latest Eagles lesson is Pretty Maids All In A Row.

Hotel California was the first Eagles album that Joe Walsh played on. Pretty Maids All In A Row was one of his contributions to the band, which he co-wrote with former bandmate Joe Vitale.

We take a look at the chords in the key of D (Capo I), including some inversions, or slash chords, two barre chords and a few chords out of the key.

The strumming is quite straightforward, in 3/4 and should be played with swing feel. That said, in my opinion, the way Don Henley drums it, a very slow 6/8 would be more fitting.

Other than that, there are no big surprises throughout the arrangement. It just moves from chord to chord, from one part to another.
