    Hi Jayswami / Gurus,

    Do you have strumming pattern audio for Hotel California - Eagles ?
    Please post correct chords and tabs.

    Your help is appreciated. Hope you have the song, If you need mp3 please let me know.

    I have found your audio patterns are amazing for the beginners.

    Thanks,
    Learning guitar2
