- ON THE BORDER
- Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, & Glenn Frey
-
- Eagles
- On the Border
- 1974
-
- I guess you could call this a little disco-country
- off the On the Border album. This is a pretty cool
- song with a great chorus, written by my three favorite
- Eagles members. So I'm gonna jam on this, and I hope
- you guys do too.

-
- GUITAR 1: Electric, plays distorted parts in intro and chorus,
- plus half the verse riff.
- GUITAR 2: Electric with a funky effect, plays the stuff behind
- the verses and does the solo.
- GUITAR 3: Rhythm electric playing chords during intro and chorus,
- plus half of verse riff.

- Here's the part behind the verse (GUITAR 2). I have no idea what
- effect he has on there, but I think there's a little distortion
- and maybe a little wah. Anywhere you see RIFF, GUITAR 1 and 3 play
- the riff shown here.
