Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson put together some great songs and sounds in the 1980s. Eye In The Sky has always been one of my favorites but I never really thought about translating it to the guitar until recently.
The song is really driven by bass and keyboards. Once I started on the path of thumbing out the bass part and sprinkling in the keyboard chords and voicings I realized a lot of students would like to tackle it as well.
This lesson really just combines a few parts into an accompaniment that I might play if I was backing up a singer. It also introduces an advanced fingering technique to smooth transitions out at a very high level.
