From Long Road Out of Eden (2007). Long Road Out of Eden is the seventh studio album by American rock band the Eagles, released in 2007 on Lost Highway Records as their first ever double album. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Eagles' other songs from Long Road Out of Eden, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
