One of These Nights – the Eagles Strumming Pattern
One Of These Nights – The Eagles
Strumming Pattern: This one needs a little explanation.
For the most part, the entire song is strummed as: DDD, DUDUDU, DU until it reaches the B7, which is just a DDDD.
As far as any sliding on the strings I did, really it is just a ‘time filler’ due to some of the pauses in the song. Simply slide down to the 12 th fret of the Low E string real quick and then back to the open position to provide a dramatic tension.
