Desperado

Post by John A. Russell »

Hey Friends

I have been working on "Desperado", by The Eagles.
I have tried to come up with a different version.
I based my arrangement on the Eagles vocal on Youtube.

Bit of a beast this one.
Anyone who wants a copy, let me know.
Kind Regards J.R.

John sent me this one minute after I emailed him. Does he have elves working for him?
The guy deserves a medal! I can't wait to dig into these 12 pages of tab. Thanks, John, Stevet

Thanks for the tabs, John! I appreciate both the effort that goes into making them, and the willingness to share them freely. Now I just need to find time to give them a try!

I sent for the Desperado and Amazing Grace tabs last week. I received them in a very short time, and just got around to looking at them and trying them out this afternoon. They seem to my ears to be spot on, very easy to read, though I can't do them justice with my playing. I will say that if all of John's tabs are this nice you won't go wrong using them. Thanks John.

John, it would be good to compare notes - I have never tabbed this one out although I worked up a version about 4 years ago, based on the same YouTube video I think. Would you send me a copy please?

Many thanks to John for sending Me the TAB a matter of hours after I had requested it.
It is very well presented indeed.
