Joe Walsh is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and probably best known as a member of the rock band the Eagles, whom he joined in 1975.
Help Me Through The Night is the 7th track of his 3rd studio album 'So What' (1974).
The Eagles performed the song on their reunion concert 'Hell Freezes Over' (1994), but it doesn't appear on the original CD edition with the same name.
The arrangement was done in Open G-tuning, where the strings are tuned to DGDGBD. For that the chords and shapes are relatively easy and this lesson breaks them all down.
We take a look at the strumming in double time and of course go through the progression.
There are a few syncopated chord changes, but other than that it should be pretty doable for most guitar players.
It'd also would be a great opportunity for anyone who'd like to explore a different tuning, just to find out it has major advantages and beautiful sounding chords.
