My Eyes


My Eyes is a track from The Lumineers' 2016 album Cleopatra, their acclaimed second studio release. The album showcases the band's indie folk sound with accessible melodies and emotional arrangements. Learning songs from this era offers guitar players insight into fingerpicking patterns and rhythmic simplicity characteristic of contemporary folk-influenced rock.

  • Cleopatra debuted at number one on both the UK Albums Chart and Billboard 200 in 2016.
  • The Lumineers' folk-rock style emphasizes clean acoustic and electric guitar work with minimal production.
  • This album was the last to feature original member Neyla Pekarek before her 2018 departure.

Guitar

Fender Telecaster

Wesley Schultz uses the Telecaster's bright, snappy single-coil pickups to add articulate texture and clarity to The Lumineers' electric passages, keeping them distinct from the acoustic foundation. The guitar's natural brightness cuts through the band's stripped-down mix without requiring heavy effects or processing.

Fender Deluxe Reverb

Schultz favors the Deluxe Reverb's clean headroom and natural breakup to maintain clarity and warmth on electric tracks, avoiding distortion while adding subtle reverb that complements the band's minimal, song-focused aesthetic. Its vintage character preserves the natural tone that defines The Lumineers' restrained approach to amplification.
