This one was a challenge - The Eagles didn't do easy songs. There is so much going on as things progress it took a long time to figure it all out and to get everything working together. This is one of those multi-track nightmares, particularly the signature extended Outro last section after the vocals. The only way I managed it was by doing it a little piece at a time. Almost every "instrument" is really a half dozen different threads woven together.
