This is the piano intro to Desperado by the Eagles arranged for guitar. This is a very doable part for players of almost any level. It is a pretty sparse piano part that moves gently and at an easy speed. Click below for the notation/tab PDF. Check out the YouTube video if you want to hear it or get any playing tips. I played with my fingers in the video but it can easily be played with a pick, as well.

Bridge Over Troubled Water Intro
I did a fingerstyle guitar arrangement of the piano intro to “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. The original is in Eb. I used a dropped D tuning (low E tuned a whole step down) and arranged it in D. If you want to do the record key just put a capo on the first fret and play everything up one fret.
This is basically a just a chord melody. Depending on how long you’ve been playing, some of the chord shapes along with melody notes may or may not be challenging to you. Squeezing piano parts out of the guitar is a great way to expand your musical thinking and fretboard vocabulary. As always, take your time and follow notion/tab closely.
