RE:Hotel California beginning on accoustic guitar

Can some one please help me in getting the beginning part of hotel california (The accoustic part you hear in the background).

Thanks
Classic_Guitar

 

check my thread in this forum only..ive given the entire song with the recording..

 

for the starting part....

chords are Bm,F#,A,E,G,D,Em,F#m

now play these chords according to the sequence ... dont strum it... just pick all the strings from 6th to 1st and after every chord... give a single little strun for first 3 strings... this is just a beginner kinda thing..

after watching the tabs you'll get a better view... search for the tabs posted here

 

ITS THE ORIGNAL HOTEL CALIFORNIA NOT THE LIVE ONE
