Hotel California Tab

Unread post by chosta » Tue Oct 28, 2003 5:40 pm

here it is, if its not exact to the way it's written its not off by more than 2 notes - the only thing we were unsure of was the order of the picking right after the C chord, and thats about it. sorry i dont know the names of some of the chords, but i wrote them out, and you can PM/AIM me (misc1585) if you need anything


Code: Select all


Hotel California
Capo 7

e---------0-----------2---------0----------------0---------0-----------3----------------0----------------2-----
b-----0------0-------0----4---3--3----3--3----0---------0---0--------0--0---0---0-----1----1---------0---------
g----0---0----0-2---2---2----2-2-----2--2---0---0-----0--1---1----0-0-0----0---0----2--2------2---2-----2------
d---2--------------1--------0------0-------2-2-------2-2------0h2--0---------------2-2-------2---1-1-----------
a--2--------------2-------------------0---4--------3---------------------2-------0--------------2--------------
E-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------3---------------------------------

thats the first time
for the second time, instead of hitting a bass note every run, strum every other. for instance:

-0-------0-----:-0----0--------:-0------0-------    etc...
-0----0---0----:-3-----3--3--3-:-1----1--0------
-0---0--0--0-2-:-2--2----2--2--:-0--0--0--1-----
-2--2----------:-0-0-0--0------:-2-2-0-----0h2--
-2-2-----------:-----------0---:-3--------------
-0-------------:---------------:----------------

play the chords not mentioned (2nd, 4th chords) as per the 1st time thru
chords for verse, with capo

Em
A?(021200), add a 2 on high e with pinky
D (xx0230)
? (042000)
C
G
Am        
A? (same as above)

chorus
C
Am
then this run E--0-2-3
                      A-0-2
C
G
Am
A? (as above)

repeat verse, its all the same thruout

enjoy
