Hi Mike, I've learnt Hotel California from your lesson on here.
I'm playing it solo on my 6 string acoustic.
I used the Chord chart from your lesson, playing it in the key of Bm in the first position (no capo).
I have added a more diverse strumming/picking pattern in 4/4 time.
I would like to add the walk up in the Chorus:
[G] [D]
Welcome to the Hotel California
[F#] [Bm7]*
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
[G]
Plenty of the room ...
*Instead of the Bm7 on "lovely place", I'd like to do a walk up to G (similar to the song) while strumming but can't figure it out. Any advice?
My goal is two fold.
1. I'd like to learn the simpler open chord version to sing with (still tough to sing and play for me when the words are not on the beat)
2. I also looked at Anders' advanced lesson and he has a Capo on the 7th fret. I'm going to learn Anders' version too with the very precise picked string intro and verse.
