On The Border is the 3rd studio album by The Eagles and produced three singles: Already Gone, James Dean, and Best of My Love.
The album also includes 'My Man', Bernie Leadon's tribute to his deceased friend Gram Parsons. This is the song we teach in this lesson.
We break down the arrangement with chord shapes in the key of D (Capo III), where the guitar is in Dropped D-tuning (DADGBE). This makes it reasonable to play the melody of the intro together with the accompaniment. For that this is also the most challenging part of the song.
We of course take a look at both hands. This includes the chords, some left hand techniques such as slides and hammer-ons, the strumming which also calls for focused strumming in order to play the intro.
