Doctor My Eyes is a song written and performed by Jackson Browne and appears on his self titled debut album (1972).
The song features an uptempo piano driven arrangement and is easy to transcribe to the guitar.
The lesson is mainly based on live performances, and even includes a segment for his early demo version on guitar. This version has an additional verse and a bridge, instead of guitar solos.
We take a look at the chord shapes in the key of E, the strumming with swing feel, and the progression.
The outro in live performance settings involves quarter note triplets, which could be tricky to some. A solid sense of rhythm and timing is absolutely necessary to pull it off, while not skipping or adding a beat.
