D* A*
i got my first real six string - brought it at the five & dime
D* A*

me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
D* A*
jimmy quit and jody got married - shoulda known we'd never get far

oh when i look back now - that summer seemed to last for ever
Bm A D G
and if i had the choice - ya i'd always wanna be there
Bm A D* A*
those were the best days of my life

D* A*
ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do
D* A*
spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when i met you - ya
Bm A D G
standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
Bm A D G
and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
Bm A D* A* D* A*
those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69

F Bb
man we were killin' time
C Bb
we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
F Bb C
i guess nothing can last forever...

D* A* D* A*

D*
and now the times are changin'
A*
look at everything that's come and gone
D*
sometimes when i play my old six string

i think about you wonder what went wrong

Bm A D G
standing on your manna's porch - you told me it'd last forever

nice work guyz.

 

Personally, I like playing the intro picking the strings, but use the transition of D* and A* played as chords during the course of the song. Try that out too ...

 

try this strumming pattern

^ - lower wires
* - upper wires( base wires )

^*^*********^*^ - D
^*^*********^*^ - A
& so on
this pattern sounds the best
post reps

 

good

i hoped better from tis song
but no one of u posted any sort of reps

why!!!!

 

maybe bcoz we dint need it?

 

this ia a copy paste thread

 

^
Who cares?

 

i didnt follow da strummin pattern, can ne1 explain it plz???

 

jus strum down and keep mutin the chord at some times..hear teh song number of times..ul get it easily....

 

frustrating

hey does ne1 know ne websites with strumming patterns on it? everytime i download a song sheet, it takes ages to work out the strumming...

 

D* is the progression: Dsus - D - Dsus4 - D - Dsus - D (arpeggiated)

A* is the progression: Asus - A - Asus4 - A - Asus - A (arpeggiated)

kindly explain about this portion anyone..whats this arpeggiated?

 

Check this from around the 3:20 mark...he explains the intro. Arpeggiated means picking each string individually rather than strumming which is usually done for chords.

thanks sir

 

i would prefer alternate picking...i used to play this alot when i was in my 10th grade...alternate picking will definately enhance my playability...i once read a post..about economical picking...it was written ...economical picking will save some calories...of your body...as compared to alternate picking...hahahaha....i would recommend you all to see george benson's take five...ausumn guitarist...full alternate picking...

 

hey bjr...i have tried to embellish the chords of hotel california by eagles.dunno its embellishment or substitution..you know wat...i made a new post and it took me around 1.5 hour to write the whole hotel california's chord description and every thing and when i was about to click the button 'post thread' on my mobile...suddenly there was a system crash in my series 60 mobile and the phone automatically switched off...and all the data's were erased... (((((....

thats why dis time am not gonna write much m only giving you the chords with tabs ...and i know you will place them correctly with ...definate intervals..and strumming pattern...so here are the chords for hotel california...all 4 note chords..its in Bm scale...

Bmin7th(224235)
F#7th(242352)
Amaj9th(557655)
E7th(xx2434)
Gmaj9th(335433)
Dmaj7th(x54222)
Emin6th(X22423)
F#7th(242352)

these chords are from 'on a dark desert highway 'to 'i thought i heard them say'...the chords repeat themselves twice ...the repitation takes place from 'there she stood in the doorway'

chords from 'welcome to the hotel california' to'any time of year,you can find it here'

Gmaj9th
Dmaj7th
Emin6th
F#7th
Gmaj9th
Dmaj6th(557777)
(1st finger barre the 5th fret.ring finger 2nd.3rd.4th string(considering high 'e' as 1st string ...)
pinky...1st string)

Emin6th
F#7th...

after this chords will repeat themselves...

 

Sounds very nice actually! Its got a nice melody and yes, this is embellishment. The only thing that I'd change personally was play the second chord as [xx4324] instead of as an F#7 but either way, it sounds nice. A couple of the chord names are incorrect I think...both AM9 and GM9 that you play seem to be sus4 chords and not M9 which is why it sounds nice. A major ninth would have been outside the scale for A since the key of the song is Bm so the A is from the dom7th family. If you want to play 9ths, you"d have to play A9 and GM9.
