Guitar Lesson Overview
This is a lick from the song Hotel California by the Eagles. That song is played in the key of Bm, but I moved to Em, since that's probably the most common key for guitar players.
This is a great blues lick, and you can play it over any blues you want. I use it myself quite often. It is a great staple lick you can throw in when you run out of ideas!
The guitar is a Hell Zerodot from Hell Guitars and I used a Line 6 HD500 for the guitar tone. I have a great sounding blues patch for the HD500 that I will demonstrate in a different video.
If you want to learn more from this classic album by the Eagles, here is the Eagles Hotel California Classic Albums Edition Guitar Tab Book.
Order the HD500 from Amazon

I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.
There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.
Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose. If you are interested in learning guitar online, you would be silly not to take advantage of this. If you do decide to sign up, I receive a little bonus, so this way you help support dolphinstreet as well!
