As a follow-up to Tommy, Pete Townsend embarked on another opera-type
project called Lifehouse. It never really materialized but some of the
songs written for it appeared in 1971 on Who's Next. Behind Blue Eyes
has some different parts that use a wide variety of techniques. It
opens with arpeggiated picking over chords in the key of E minor,
followed with some basic strumming through the chorus, then adds a
short sample of Pete's signature double-time strum, before changing
modes and rocking out a bit. This has been one of our most requested
lessons for quite a while.
