Hydro: I started this one a long time ago when I was first getting into transcribing. Tried playing it without a capo at first and then realized, once again, the E/G# is the specific reason that the Capo was invented....MJ,
Wow! This is timely . . . . . . I just auditioned this song at our Feb 1st rehearsal to see if we wanted to pick it up. At last night's rehearsal, we gave it the green light, so we elevate it to the next level of actually putting time into it. One of my favorite songs from one of my all-time favorite albums. Good choice, good job on it. Let me know if you want to compare notes on it sometime.
Are you doing any more from the Desperado album? I plan on auditioning a few more from the album in the near future.

Which version(s) of the B7 is your go to on this one? Out of the G it seems easier to go to the 1st position B7, but out of the D in the bridge, the barre chord style sounds a bit more accurate (at least to my ear, which is still in serious training). Also, at the point where the song goes to "lay down your law books now, they're no damn good", I played that from A to C to G, but I think it may be A to C with a little run or another chord to G.... Have not ironed that part out yet, so I just hit two quick strums on the C before going to G and it was O.K.... :unsure:
Fun song!
As far as other songs from Desperado, I also like to play Tequila Sunrise, but have not worked on any of the others yet..
Thanks!
MJ
