These Eyesby Guess Who

These Eyes was the first hit for The Guess Who, a band who had been kicking around Winnipeg for a while but finally broke through when Burton Cummings joined Randy Bachman in the group. The song is from their 1968 album Wheatfield Soul and was mostly done on keyboards. This lesson transcribes the keyboard part into a guitar part that uses the palm muting technique. There are a few key changes and unusual chord inversions as well, typical of Randy Bachman’s guitar style of the time.
