Thanks, maggior, but you made my point for me - Hotel California takes something like *9* guitars to make work! I started in on it, learned a few licks and got discouraged knowing I'd never be able to play it from start to finish and have people recognize it.

I'll look into your other suggestions, though. Thanks.
