[1976] Roberto Luna sent this one my way a couple of months back. I rewrote it to

make it easier to read, so I hope it helps. Good luck, and I hope everyone

is able to play it by the end of the year!

"I had just leased this house out on the beach at Malibu,

I guess it was around '74 or '75. I remember sitting in the living

room, with all the doors wide open on a spectacular July day.

I had this acoustic 12-string and I started tinkling around with

it, and those "Hotel California" chords just kind of oozed out.

Every once in a while it seems like the cosmos parts and something

great just plops in your lap."

-- Don Felder

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This first part is the intro. It is repeated throughout the song

(except during the chorus).

GUITAR 1 (12-string electric, capo on 7th fret)

A 7 means open string, so it is easier to read.

These are easier if you realize that the chords they outline are:

In all, Don Felder, Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey managed to fit eight different

guitars in for this song. GUITAR 3 plays the cool "chicka" chords you hear

during the verses. Listen closely and you can pick this part out. Use

fret-hand muting on the following chords to get the percussive sound. In

other words, don't push the strings down on the fretboard, just touch the

strings so they can't vibrate much. In addition, palm-mute them to give a

sharper sound.

GUITAR 3 (slightly distorted electric, palm-muted)

GUITARS 4 and 5 (distorted electrics) play chord tones in 3rds

during the verses. GUITAR 4 plays upper voicing, GUITAR 5 plays

the lower voicing. All the while, the 12-string continues

playing the intro chords.

There she stood... I heard the... And I was thinking..

This is the chorus. GUITAR 1 strums the following chords

(instead of picking them):

Back to another verse. GUITAR 4 & 5 play

this now (similar to part one with bends):

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, here's the reason for so many guitars. On the "So I called up the Captain"

verse, GUITAR 4 & 5 repeat the part from the last verse, while GUITAR 7 & 8

(distorted electrics) introduce this "answer" harmony. The 12-string is (still)

playing the verse chords.

So I called up the Captain

------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUITAR 4 & 5 have a new chorus thing,

GUITAR 1 plays chorus chords.

The rest of the song repeats parts I've already tabbed. If you've

got the tape or CD, I suggest you listen to it while looking

at the tab to find these parts. Now the solos. These are tough,

so practice a lot and look at the rhythm I have laid out so you

can get a feel for how it's supposed to sound.

#Hotel California
[1976]     Roberto Luna sent this one my way a couple of months back.  I rewrote it to
make it easier to read, so I hope it helps.  Good luck, and I hope everyone
is able to play it by the end of the year!
"I had just leased this house out on the beach at Malibu,
I guess it was around '74 or '75.  I remember sitting in the living
room, with all the doors wide open on a spectacular July day.
I had this acoustic 12-string and I started tinkling around with
it, and those "Hotel California" chords just kind of oozed out.
Every once in a while it seems like the cosmos parts and something
great just plops in your lap."

This first part is the intro. It is repeated throughout the song
(except during the chorus).
GUITAR 1 (12-string electric, capo on 7th fret)
A 7 means open string, so it is easier to read.
These are easier if you realize that the chords they outline are:
[Em]        [B7]        [Dsus2]        [E9]        [C]    [G][Am7][B7]

In all, Don Felder, Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey managed to fit eight different
guitars in for this song. GUITAR 3 plays the cool "chicka" chords you hear
during the verses.  Listen closely and you can pick this part out.  Use
fret-hand muting on the following chords to get the percussive sound.  In
other words, don't push the strings down on the fretboard, just touch the
strings so they can't vibrate much.  In addition, palm-mute them to give a
sharper sound.

GUITARS 4 and 5 (distorted electrics) play chord tones in 3rds
during the verses.  GUITAR 4 plays upper voicing, GUITAR 5 plays
the lower voicing.  All the while, the 12-string continues
playing the intro chords.

Now, here's the reason for so many guitars.  On the "So I called up the Captain"
verse, GUITAR 4 & 5 repeat the part from the last verse, while GUITAR 7 & 8
(distorted electrics) introduce this "answer" harmony.  The 12-string is (still)
playing the verse chords.
     So I called up the Captain

The rest of the song repeats parts I've already tabbed.  If you've
got the tape or CD, I suggest you listen to it while looking
at the tab to find these parts. Now the solos.  These are tough,
so practice a lot and look at the rhythm I have laid out so you
can get a feel for how it's supposed to sound.

that's all I'll show in the tab. Both parts will be shown, GUITAR 8
plays high, GUITAR 7 plays low.
