How To Play Fly Like an Eagle by Steve Miller Band

What is up everybody? This is Questpoetics.com, free guitar lessons. Here in by several week, when I am done, what you are going to be playing is “Fly like an Eagle”, Steve Miller, just like this. [Demonstration] And then to the part where it goes-- [Demonstration] You know I am crazy, I like to spit up my face like a passion about teaching. Then you are going to take your E string, tune-ups a least to the tenth. All right, we are going to start off with the chill song, so a little bit before my time, but you know what I am saying, I respect all styles of music, it would not because that is where we can learn from it all just like you can learn. Just like you can learn from me, you can learn from other people. It does not matter, just keep learning that is all that matters, you know what I am saying. So, we are going to start up with this riff. If you do not know how to do riffs, you can sign up to my guitar that teach you how the basics of how to start doing these kinds, of how to hold your pick or how to pick. So, it starts off here, index, so we are starting on from the 5th fret. Do that slow together. [Demonstration] See, all I am doing there is I am just barring the 4th and 3rd string there on the 5th fret, see that? And then, for the verses. [Demonstration] And then you can add in-- [Demonstration] And all I am doing is I am just barring, barring the 5th-- [Demonstration] So, you got that part? [Demonstration] So, that it goes, and I will barre in the 5th, see that chord right there? [Demonstration] It is a bit of a stretch but that is the way you get that vibe. All I got is this. I am barring this, and my index finger is on the 7th fret but on the 5th string, see that? And, then the pinky, you are still barring the 5th but your pinky is not going to the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th. You can stretch but once you get it, it gets easier. [Demonstration] See, what I am saying. And now you have got it, you can play the whole song by yourself on the acoustic guitar, trip your friends out one night. Go to questpoetics.com, sign up for the free guitar lessons. I always bring enthusiasm to teaching. Some people, they rub them the wrong way and they get pissed off and call me the, the Tony Robin of guitar lessons. That is all right, call me what you want, as long as you learn, and “Boom!” goes the dynamite. Peace man.
