This is the solo to the acoustic version of Hotel California as it appears on
Hell Freezes Over.  Some parts are not totally correct, since I can't play that
fast, but the general idea is right.  This solo is actually two guitars taking
turns, so if you want to do an accurate version, 2 guitars are a requirement.
Please send any corrections or additions, and especially comments since this did
take me almost 3 hours to do.  Have a blast!

P.S.  If anyone wishes to send me an electric guitar, I will tab out the solo to the
