Rick, Iβm at best a novice guitarist having picked up my first guitar at 46. I always wanted to, just never had the time (or money!). Finally, I had enough of both and dove in. I tell ya, I just love picking it up and trying to figure out new things. Where you fit in is as one of my inspirations to do so. You see, I watch a lot of UKposts. I hate commercials, and prefer to get down to it. Thereβs something about your demeanor and passion about music that exists in me (just not as much talent and experience). But, again, I heard your overall message, βMusic is awesomeβ itβs okay to βlove it!β I just felt like I should tell you your content is always as much refreshing as it is inspiring. Iβm not asking you post everyday, just when yaβ feel it, brother!! With age, we both know, quantity just dilutes the important stuff. My man! Sincerely, Troy Wills, MA, BSN (I went to nursing school late in life too, guitar was implemented to make sure every day kept some fun in the β10 min here, 15 min thereβ I had to spare between classes!!)

@@maxbrown347 Felder wrote the Intro, the chord progression and basic melody. Henley wrote most of the lyrics with help from Frey. Henley/Frey fleshed out the arrangement. The song is credited to Felder/Frey/Henley.

Great list Rick. The intro that immediately popped into my head was the intro to From the Beginning by Greg Lake. Granted, it's tough to play but I think it's a great, memorable intro that could have made the list. Love your channel. Keep up the great videos.
