Hotel California Live Electric - The Eagles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I looked everywhere for the electric version of
this live. I couldn't find it anywhere so I decided
I'd try and figure it out on my own. Walsh's part
might not be perfect but it's close. I usually
just play Felder's part anyway. Keep in mind this is NOT the
acoustic version from Hell Freezes Over which has many tabs
of it both on UG and other sites. This was tabbed from the
version on Eagles Live (1980) and from video of their 1977
Houston concert.
There are 3 guitars, they are as follows:
12-string acoustic w/ capo on 2nd fret: Glenn Frey
6 string electric (Fender Telecaster if you care): Joe Walsh
Gibson double-neck w/ capo on 7th fret of 12-string neck: Don Felder
This part might be wrong but it works. It's heavily palm muted and
I assume played by Walsh. Play it several times at the beginning
before the main intro starts. But if you are a band learning to
play it for yourselves, I recommend disgarding this as starting
with the main intro gives a greater wow factor.

Now we start the verse. Glenn just strums the chords I think, Felder plays
the intro once more and Walsh plays a palm muted thing as follows

Then Felder and Walsh split. Felder on the high note, Walsh on the low.

Chorus:
Glenn again just strums the chords. Felder does the same but on
the 6 string. Walsh plays nothing until this which he plays between "Welcome to
the Hotel California" and
"such a lovely place"
e ------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G ----11--11---12----11--12/14----12---11---------------------------------|

A ------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then both Walsh and Felder play the lead in to the second part of the chorus
e --------------------------------|
B --------------------------------|
G --------------------------------|
D -------------------2---4----5---|
A ----2----4----5-----------------|
E --------------------------------|
then Walsh plays this between "Plenty of room at the Hotel California" and
"Any time of year"

G -----14h16----14h16---14------------7---12--11--|

Felder plays this on the 6 string before going back to the intro

B ----------2--------2-------------------------------|
G --------3----3-----3-------------------------------|
D ------4------4-----4-------------------------------|
A --4----------------4-------------------------------|
E --2----------------2-------------------------------|
then the first half of the second verse is the same as the first part of the
first verse then Walsh and Felder split again. Felder on the high note,
Walsh on the low.

Second chorus:
Again Glenn strums the chords. Walsh plays the chords while Felder
doesn't play until this between "Welcome to the Hotel California" and
"such a lovely place"

"What a nice surprise"

Now comes the breakdown. It's the same as the first part of the
intro. Then when it's done this starts. Like the electric part of the verses
Walsh is the lower note, Felder is the higher. It is basically the second
part of the first verse combined with the second part of the second verse.

Now the solo; as I've said, Walsh's solo isn't perfect but it's
as close as I can get. Felder plays first, then Walsh.

Her mind is Tiffany twisted

She got the Mercedes bends

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

Please bring me my wine

He said we havn't had that spirit here since

The pink champagne on ice an' she said

They stab it with their Steely knives but they

Running for the door
