Hotel California Jam

Post by Cdog »

Jam time! Backing track from the solo section of HC.
If you're keen... dibs the next position, download the track overdub your part, say 8-16 bars... then re-upload and post the link for the next nzg peep to have a turn. All welcome, no stress just fun. Post a pic of your rig too if you want. :)

Download the track here: Hotel California NZG Jam
*Edit: Have uploaded uncompressed version .wav file here

I'll kick off. Track above, recorded using Audacity. Touch of audacity room verb.
Had a nightmare with the EQ, and can't undo it now... hahaha. :lol:

Gear below. Basically Guitar into TS808 into the Tube overdrive, some pedalboard delay.

Have at it lads! Who's next?

I'd love to do this but it means I would need to have software, time to learn the software, purchase an interface, etc etc

But yeah, I'd love to do it. And not stick to the original.

I reckon I still remember most of the original, might have a blast at the weekend but the way my fingers are, its doubtful. Playing it with two fingers probably isn't achievable.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

If you're keen, just record it on your phone and send it through. I can pull the audio and add it to the track for you. :)
The less serious the recording, the more fun... and hopefully the more contributors :thumbup:

*Edit...The same goes for anybody else who wants a go, but doesnt have a recording setup πŸ‘

Me too, but Cubital Tunnel Syndrome says no...
Bending elbow causes pain, if its lessened by the weekend, yes. But its likely going to be weeks.

I have a complaint: I was really getting into that and it stopped. Great tone and phrasing. I want to hear more!

This. I learned Don Felder's Hell Freezes Over acoustic version 20 years ago then stopped playing it.
It's long gone now.

I don't know if I've got any down-time this long weekend (shitloads to do before carpet fitters arrive Monday) but will try to noodle something.

Have to say, in my head it's hard to hear anything other than the original solos.
