Hotel Califas 07-05-2020
My 4 year long project to complete this classic song. Special thanks to session drummer extraordinaire Ffej Rednil. I am playing all guitars and bass on this track. Backing vocals performed by Ffej Resoundcloud.app.goo.gl

Yeah, me too. The melody, the harmony, the lyrics. It's just brilliant.Always loved this song...
I know they had issues when they recorded that, but it genuinely looks like they enjoy themselves.I remember seeing Don Felder wearing jeans and suspenders and I couldn't believe how down to earth he was...

It is. We've decided to play it with the band now, so I'm in the process of figuring out the guitar parts. I had a really hard time the other day when I started. I just grabbed the first recording off of youtube to transcribe but couldn't get the key right. It sounded like G but it was off a bit. I finally figured out that they were tuned halfway between E and EbThe first song i ever played and singed on stage 15 years old.
A fantastic Song.![]()
**FAIR WARNING**: The following comments may be ironic and / or sarcastic... DAAAMN!! Freakin' Johnny Depp can even make his guitar sound like a harmonica!!!Covers, did we say covers?

I eventually found another recording of it where they're actually tuned ro E.
Soulful... Quite faithful to the essence of the song although giving it their own little flavour for sure... Loving the final solo! Now here's my preferred cover version of this same song:
Yeah, the version by The Animals is in Am. The Frijid Pink version is in Gm. I don't know if anyone knows who did the original version.Try Am I think it is like the original song
