Hotel California – Eagles (guitar tabs included)
Mar 17th
It never gets old even after 30 years!
Released as a single in early 1977, Hotel California remains one of the greatest songs of all time.
“The lyrics of the song describe the title establishment, a hotel where “you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave”. On the surface, the song is a tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared tempting; as a metaphor the song may be commenting on drug addiction or simply the decadent lifestyle the hugely successful band had been caught up in. Another theory is that the song is about a mental hospital or a federal prison. The expression “check out” is also considered a metaphor for dying.” - wikipedia
Last but not least for the guitar enthusiasts, here are the guitar tabs for Hotel California.
Lust for Life – Marty Friedman (guitar tabs included)
Feb 21st
Here’s an interview with guitarist Marty Friedman, previously with Megadeth. He talks about stuff like living in Japan and achieving the human voice with the guitar.
I actually went for his guitar clinic for only $13!!! He was probably only about 10metres away it was bloody awesome. And I bought his CD after the clinic because I fell in love with the song Lust for Life that he performed during the clinic.
This is the same song that he performs at the end of this interview. Also, notice his awkward right hand technique which works for him and adds to his uniqueness.
Oh, and did I mention that this song is totally awesome?
Here are the guitar tabs. Enjoy!
The Loner – Gary Moore ( with guitar tabs to practise )
Feb 17th
The Loner is a guitar instrumental piece by bluesman Gary Moore, one of the finest musicians that the British Isles has ever produced. Very beautiful song filled with emotions. Listen to how he makes the guitar cry!
Read about his biography here.
And here is The Loner guitar tab by Gary Moore for those who want to learn this song. More suited for the intermediate level guitarist I would say. Either way, it’s an awesome song to learn. Enjoy!
