That rapid finger-picking in the background is a banjo. Bernie Leadon played lead guitar (among other stringed instruments) and that is him on the banjo. Bernie preferred the country flavor to Eagles music and Glenn Frye came to want to go more towards rock. Long story short - Bernie recruited Don Felder to Eagles, before Bernie quitting and being replaced by Joe Walsh.
Co-written by Glen Frey and Jackson Browne. And 7 is about to become 8. The instrument you're describing is a mandolin, and it's often used in bluegrass music. There is no mandolin in this song. You're hearing a banjo, which is also used in bluegrass. This was the first Eagles song as far as I know. It was Glen Frey on vocals (pronounced like fry.)
Yes, I mentioned mandolin in reference to Harri recalling a “small ukulele like instrument” when trying to recall the term “bluegrass.” Most definitely banjo, also found in many bluegrass orchestration but definitely does not sound as a mandolin or look vaguely like a ukulele. 🤣
This was the first single by the Eagles. Also the first song on their first album. The "guitar" you're referring to, as others have said, is a banjo, played by Bernie Leadon. Glenn Frey did they lead vocals on this. His last name is pronouced "fry", not "fray". As for the women, four want to own him, two want to stone him (not clear if that is the traditional stoning or if it is more in keeping with the drug culture of the late 1960's and early 1970's), and one says she's a friend of his. This song is about being a free spirit, so you can take it for granted that he doesn't want to be "owned". So you can disregard those 4 women. The two that want to stone him either want to kill him or want to get high with him. The last says she's just a friend. So, none seem to be anything serious in a romantic sense.
"Take it to the Limit" is probably my fav Eagles tune. There's a LOT of contenders for that title, though. Real hard to go wrong with them. It is unfortunate how much they choose to block, but well, rights holders gonna do what they're gonna do.
I frequented a punk, goth club called The Limit in Sheffield in the eighties and nineties. Our cue to piss off at the end of the night was the DJ breaking off from the usual genre and playing Take It To The Limit we staggered out 😂😂
You are likely referring to the genre of music known as Bluegrass. The instrument is a mandolin that has typically 8 strings and is most often tuned in the manner of a baritone guitar. 👍🏻
This song means so much to me. Part of my going out into the world as a young man. When l survived a long cancer fight. On my bucket list was to go stand on THAT corner in Winslow Arizona and l have a great pic of it.
Always sounded like a banjo to me 🪕… glen sang it…and their sound as a band definitely started more California-country-rock-ballads and with the addition of joe Walsh they went into harder rock that and operating in “life in the fast lane” landed them in “Hotel California”
Quite possibly my favorite band. Everything they did they did so well. I'm here for any and every Eagles tune you do. There's an isolated track of the banjo part on YT. It's cool to hear it on it's own.
The Eagles music, a lot of times seemed to float between rock and country, I always called it 'country rock' because the songs would get air play on both, the country stations and the rock stations. I don't know if you've done a reaction to a lot of their music, but, there IS some rockin' music by them, "Life In The Fast lane" is one "Victim Of Love" is another and of course the one everybody seems to think is their best song ever, "Hotel California", and one more for good measure, "Heartache Tonight", which Bob Seger was apart of. Thanks for playing this song, really enjoyed it!
Song written by Glenn Frey (Eagles) and Jackson Browne (worth a look, great artist). The Standing on the Corner foundation was set up in Winslow, Arizona with a statue of Glenn Frey (many say looks like Jackson Browne) standing next to a flatbed Ford. Great song, google Winslow, AZ. It's on the famous road Route 66.
They are my favorite Rock group. Such talent. Whether Henley or Frey(RIP) is singing lead. Yes they are notorious video blockers. I recommend Travis Tritt video to this song It was the video that got The Eagles back together.
The harmonies are what make this number so good. I never even thought of them as "Country" for years, I just thought of them as Eagles, a great radio listen. Someone had to tell me they were pretty Country before I made that association. Like Creedence, they were a California band with a love of those more Eastern sounds.
Thousands of young Americans had their very own “anthem” in this awesome song. I am fortunate enough to have seen them in small venues in both iterations of the band. The pre and post periods of Joe Walsh, that’s the two I’m talking about. You could say pre and post DESPERADO sounds.
My friend and I had "road trip" music that we'd listen to when taking a long drive to somewhere. The Eagles Greatest Hits and Creedence Clearwater were there along with The Beatles and The Doors. Those were great road trips, with the music making it even better.
There is a live version of this song that has Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt singing this song with the rest of the Eagles that's probably my favorite live version of this song.
Next year, 50 years since this was released! Produced by Glynn Johns in London, UK 🇬🇧. The late Glenn Frey sang lead vocal. Written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey. JB got stuck with a line. GF finished it. JB decided to give his Topanga Canyon neighbor credit as a writer! ✍ Drummer and guitarist Don Henley had problems with Glynn Johns. The instrument you heard is a banjo. It is used in many country songs. This style is country rock. 🤠 Do not count the banjo as an instrument for Keith Urban: he plays a ganjo. Suggested next Eagles song with Glenn Frey singing lead vocal: Peaceful Easy Feeling. 🤠 Caution: You will need to interrupt any Eagles or members of The Eagles songs with your comments. The Eagles esp Don Henley block music. 😖 See the Rick Beato videos on TH-cam for details.
While traveling in the eighties I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, it was awesome just to be there and hear that song playing at the same time! Thank you once again for a great reaction to a wonderful song! FABULOUS!
The Eagles were one of the giants in the '70s. They had 19 Top 40 Hits! Together with ELO (20 Top 40 Hits), and Fleetwood Mac (18 Top 40 Hits), the three bands made up much of the soundtrack from my youth.
The Eagles didn't even write this song it was their first hit but it was written by a singer songwriter named Jackson Browne and he's got a really good hit called doctor my eyes love that song.
It's got a bit of a blue grass sound. The original cut of the song had banjo in the mix when Bernie Leadon was in the band. Later when Leadon left and Joe Walsh joined, they dropped the banjo in concerts. Glenn Frey sang this tune. It was their first hit. Frey and JD Souther finished writing the song that Jackson Browne started.
I saw the Eagles in concert 2 yrs ago in D.C. I missed Glen Frey, but his son filled in for him. It was the best concert I ever went to. They sounded better than ever. I'll never forget it. 30K people there at National Stadium.
Bernie on guitar and banjo. Check out the live version from the early 70s, I'm sure the BBC has a ton of older bands in the archives. The Great Old Whistle Test has a lot also.
Bernie Leadon. Sounds like a banjo, but I believe that's actually an electric guitar. According to Glenn Frey, the lead singer in this and one of the 2 founding members, this song was the beginning for the Eagles
You can actually go to Winslow Arizona and "Stand on the corner. it's tourist photo op complete with flat bed ford and a couple statues of the Eagles. You can see the girl in the flat bed ford, but only in the mural on the building wall there as a reflection of the real flat bed ford parked there. I was there Jan 2018...on the way back from Phoenix AZ. Of course we took the tourist photos. Some college girls had stopped there on the way somewhere so we took turns taking pictures of each other....a generational moment of commonality. We were old enough to be their grandparents, but both parties had big laugh about how ridiculous we must look to the locals.
God bless you mr. Harry I appreciate your love for music and your reactions- here in the song Take It Easy the Eagles first song, what you're hearing in the background is a mandolin and a banjo- their style of music is southern rock what has a country Flair to it just a little bit The Doobie Brothers were somewhat the same way they were also referred to as southern rock- peace always the name of Jesus my good brother! Your listener and follower- rev Dr Rob Curry
I'm a little surprised you didn't recognize the banjo. Known best as a C&W and bluegrass staple. Another great banjo song is 'Sweet City Woman' by the Stampeders from Canada. Also, check out Bela Fleck (and the Flecktones) to see it applied to jazz and funk, etc.
I saw Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) wearing a near identical sweatshirt in a post-game interview. Instrument you hear is the banjo, used in Bluegrass Music. It's not much smaller than a guitar. The small one you're thinking of is the Mandolin.
They style of music you keep asking about is Bluegrass. It is heavy on acoustic guitar,banjo, fiddle & mandolin, but as has already been stated, there is no mandolin in this song.
You're probably thinking of bluegrass (hillbilly), usually played with a banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and sometimes upright bass. Packway Handle is a band out of Athens, GA that will illustrate what I'm talking about.
So glad this got through. This band is amazing and their catalogue is impressive. I still can’t find your reaction to the live performance of “Hotel California”! I watched it several times a few months back as it was one of my favorites of your reactions. Then it disappeared 😢. Oh well. I know they are notorious blockers, so thanks for your continued efforts. I think this was their first big hit. Did you know they were Linda Ronstadt’s backup band before they formed Eagles? 🌺✌️
Harry, I'm American and a huge fan of EPL "football!" While multi-tasking listening to new stuff from Kaiser Chiefs using earbuds AND watching a walk down EPL memory lane, I caught a glimpse of a player from the 90s (?). Good Lord! You and Ian Wright could be stand-ins for each other! OBTW, I truly love your (more mature, sophisticated) insight, please keep the good thing going. You were describing a mandolin, but what I heard, prominently, was Bernie Leadon's perfectly picked banjo. AND: Could you react to (one of my secret addictions) Swing Out Sister. I love "Twilight World" and "Breakout" though just about anything SOS, especially Colleen Drury, wets my whistle.
In the original band configuration, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon played guitar. Bernie also played banjo on this track. Randy Meisner played bass with Texan Don Henley on drums.
Specifically, a 5-string banjo ( compared to the 4-string plectrum banjo most commonly seen/heard being strummed as part of a jazz-style orchestra) being played in the Earl Scruggs' 3 -finger "Bluegrass" style, as opposed to the more traditional frailing/"clawhammer" style ( heard extensively in the soundtrack to Ken Burns' extraordinary Civil War series). Hope that's not TMI.
Please note/be aware that the songs getting blocked is mostly due to the owners of the recording rights being extremely fixated on blocking use of “their” music on TH-cam. And those “owners” are usually the record companies, in this case Warner Music. Most artists are totally fine with videos like yours as they knieband understand it’s actually promoting their music and it’s done with respect for the music.

missed Bernies banjo when it left
I think the banjo in this song absolutely makes it.
Sounds like banjoes to me
I was looking to see if someone commented on the obvious banjo in the background. Bravo!!!!
Co-written by Glen Frey and Jackson Browne. And 7 is about to become 8. The instrument you're describing is a mandolin, and it's often used in bluegrass music. There is no mandolin in this song.

I disagree. The instrument is obviously a banjo.
It’s Bernie Leadon playing banjo. It doesn’t sound anything like a mandolin
@@stevevasell429 Correct
Yes, I mentioned mandolin in reference to Harri recalling a “small ukulele like instrument” when trying to recall the term “bluegrass.” Most definitely banjo, also found in many bluegrass orchestration but definitely does not sound as a mandolin or look vaguely like a ukulele. 🤣

“I can’t tell you why” is my favorite Eagles song but they’re ALL great!
That's a Banjo. Used in Country Western, Blue Grass, and yes, even rock occasionally.
You are likely referring to the genre of music known as Bluegrass. The instrument is a mandolin that has typically 8 strings and is most often tuned in the manner of a baritone guitar. 👍🏻
This song means so much to me.

Oh the music of the 60s and 70s!!!!! Never again will we have music like this again!!!!
Quite possibly my favorite band. Everything they did they did so well. I'm here for any and every Eagles tune you do. There's an isolated track of the banjo part on YT. It's cool to hear it on it's own.
One of the original band members played the Banjo!
Wonderful to hear this again. Thanks for the memories.
There's a great video of the Eagles playing this live in 1977 that captures the energy of the crowd and the sheer fun the band displays.
The Eagles music, a lot of times seemed to float between rock and country, I always called it 'country rock' because the songs would get air play on both, the country stations and the rock stations.

Magnificent song writing by these guys! The banjo in the background is a great touch.
fabulous song to listen to while driving with an open top on a long highway

One of the few groups who are better in a live concert. They match every song recorded in the studio with room to spare.
Please, it's anything but 'hillbilly'. Their sound is a fusion of county and rock. It didn't sound like anything else at the time.Totally unique.
They came to my small town in the early 70s and put on a show I will bever forget. Just after Take it, Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling had come out.
There are no bad songs when it comes to the Eagles.
They are my favorite Rock group. Such talent. Whether Henley or Frey(RIP) is singing lead. Yes they are notorious video blockers.
I recommend Travis Tritt video to this song
It was the video that got The Eagles back together.
You hear Henley harmonies in the chorus, but it’s the amazing harmonies of Randy Meisner that buoys Glen Frey’s vocal in the verses. 👍🏻
Great song. Love the Eagles.
Banjo sound Hari
The harmonies are what make this number so good. I never even thought of them as "Country" for years, I just thought of them as Eagles, a great radio listen. Someone had to tell me they were pretty Country before I made that association. Like Creedence, they were a California band with a love of those more Eastern sounds.

Can't go wrong with The Eagles.
Winslow, Arizona actually erected a statue of Glenn Frey standing on a corner holding a guitar. Great stuff!
great reactions in this channel Harry! 👍🙂
They are the biggest blockers.
This was the debut song from their firat album. They played more country styled music in the beginning
Next year, 50 years since this was released!
Produced by Glynn Johns in London, UK 🇬🇧.
The late Glenn Frey sang lead vocal.
Written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey. JB got stuck with a line. GF finished it. JB decided to give his Topanga Canyon neighbor credit as a writer! ✍
Drummer and guitarist Don Henley had problems with Glynn Johns.

I've actually been to Winslow Arizona several times and stood on the corner
The Eagles were one of the giants in the '70s. They had 19 Top 40 Hits! Together with ELO (20 Top 40 Hits), and Fleetwood Mac (18 Top 40 Hits), the three bands made up much of the soundtrack from my youth.
Eagles started out with country rock. Another good country rock band is Poco. Their hit song ‘Crazy Love’ is worth a listen.
ELICTRIC GUITAR GIVES IT THAT FANTASTIC SOUND
Classic! Winslow, Arizona put up a statue standin on a corner and a two-story trompe-l'oeil mural of a flatbed Ford to celebrate the song.
The Eagles didn't even write this song it was their first hit but it was written by a singer songwriter named Jackson Browne and he's got a really good hit called doctor my eyes love that song.
So good!! Please react to the song Desperado. I think you will like it. Great reaction!! 🙂
This album was pure Americana...but the album was recorded in London lol
There's an actual statue "standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona" commemorating this song.
It's got a bit of a blue grass sound. The original cut of the song had banjo in the mix when Bernie Leadon was in the band. Later when Leadon left and Joe Walsh joined, they dropped the banjo in concerts. Glenn Frey sang this tune. It was their first hit. Frey and JD Souther finished writing the song that Jackson Browne started.
This is where it all started, with the first 3 chords.
The original 4. Bernie Leadon is playing a banjo. Used in Bluegrass music. Him, Randy Meisner, Glen Frey and Don Henley.
Bernie's banjo and Randy's backing vocals take this song over the top. All members of the Eagles were / are immensely talented.
The live version sounds just like the studio version; yes, they're THAT good... but seeing them perform live is just a bonus.
Thank you Harri - perfect start to the weekend. Love the sound of The Eagles!
Gotta try . My old 55. And Midnight Flyer! Adios! 🤠🐎🇺🇸✌️
I saw the Eagles in concert 2 yrs ago in D.C. I missed Glen Frey, but his son filled in for him. It
was the best concert I ever went to. They sounded better than ever. I'll never forget it. 30K

at hillbilly guitar your hearing is called a Banjo its used a lot in country and bluegrass music
Iconic band! Iconic music!
I think that is a banjo your hearing.. You gotta hear peaceful easy feeling! You will love it.. Much love!
Bernie on guitar and banjo. Check out the live version from the early 70s, I'm sure the BBC has a ton of older bands in the archives. The Great Old Whistle Test has a lot also.
Bernie Leadon on 5-string banjo. He sometimes plays mandolin, another traditional bluegrass instrument, but isn't playing it here.
They are touring next year. Saw them with Chris Stapelton. If you get a chance you have to go!
Bernie Leadon. Sounds like a banjo, but I believe that's actually an electric guitar. According to Glenn Frey, the lead singer in this and one of the 2 founding members, this song was the beginning for the Eagles

Not sure if this song was the Eagles absolutely first song but it was certainly their first hit song. It was a hit in 1972.

Another great banjo song is 'Sweet City Woman' by the Stampeders from Canada.
Also, check out Bela Fleck (and the Flecktones) to see it applied to jazz and funk, etc.
Banjo. Bluegrass. Take it easy, Harri! :-)
This song is real good
I see others have said you were hearing a banjo, and the style of music is called Bluegrass
That's Bernie Leadon with the Mandolin and Randy Meisner on harmonies
Top 3 biggest selling albums in the U.S.A. are #1 "The Eagles Greatest Hit"' #2 "Thiller" by Michael Jackson and #3 "Hotel California" by The Eagles.
The eagle's are so phenomenal there's no words in the 70's 80's to describe them. U hear them today they cud heard today as if they just started
The Eagles are still touring Vince Gill has joined the group. Glen Frey's ( RIP) son is also with the group.
I saw Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) wearing a near identical sweatshirt in a post-game interview.

The only two bands I would need to hear if I was stranded on an uncharted island? Eagles and ELO! Love me some Jeff and Don 😘
LOVE the eagles! Right up there with the Beatles!!
The banjo and laid back lead guitar really make that song.
So glad this got through. This band is amazing and their catalogue is impressive. I still can’t find your reaction to the live performance of “Hotel California”!

“Hillbilly” 😂😂😂 it’s a banjo and is used heavily in Bluegrass and Country music.
Nice spending time on a a Friday night with you Hari!🙏
In the original band configuration, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon played guitar. Bernie also played banjo on this track. Randy Meisner played bass with Texan Don Henley on drums.
banjo is very prominent in Blue Grass music
Harri needs to hear more music with banjo in it.
Early Eagles. They were known as playing Country Rock.
Specifically, a 5-string banjo ( compared to the 4-string plectrum banjo most commonly seen/heard being strummed as part of a jazz-style orchestra) being played in the Earl Scruggs' 3 -finger "Bluegrass" style, as opposed to the more traditional frailing/"clawhammer" style ( heard extensively in the soundtrack to Ken Burns' extraordinary Civil War series). Hope that's not TMI.
It’s a rockabilly sound because of the banjo.
Did you know there is a statue of Glen Frye on a corner in Winslow Arizona?
Bluegrass music I think is the genre you're looking for.
Written of course with Jackson Browne, and I love Browne's version best
That was a banjo. Can't mistake the Eagles harmonies, even tho this is such an early song.
I preferred this more country sound of the Eagles, rather than their later rock sound.
It's a banjo. It's only heard on the original
