It is part one and two together at 90% speed. I feel I am slowly getting there, but still many things to correct.
The thing I thought would be very difficult is actually quite doable. I think the key here is the index finger, which is placed between E and B and separates strings while they are bent, but also ensures E is muted after it is played. After that, it is just a simple roll of ring finger from E to pre-bent B sting.
This fast vibrato below is impossible for now. It sounds awful when I try. I played a clean bend here, but Iām practicing this part separately to get it right.
Getting there, Boris! I think if I were trying to master this, Iād loop smaller portions of the backing track and work on smaller sections at a time.
Kevin, thank you so much for listening and for your kind words!
That is exactly what I do! I post here finished/improved (hopefully) longer parts, but I do practice smaller sections by setting backing track section loop in Transcribe software. I always have few tricky sections to practice so I can switch between them when lots of repetitions become too much.
Thank you! I learned simplified intro as well some time ago, but didnāt practice it for months now. I checked your link, that sounds like a proper HC intro. I will give it a try for sure!
Make sure you give Andyās solo a listen as well. He has some very good tips on how to nail those tricky parts! (What am I saying, itās all tricky!)
The remaining part of solo, played finally at full speed.
I find the flick off triplet section at the end the most difficult here. I practiced this a lot, but there are always few that slip off the beat.
I am very excited now to put it all together at full speed. I can play most parts at full speed, but some work is still required on tricky sections.
Working on dreamers develops the skills all around, right? Congratulations and hats off to staying with it for so long, sounding really good now! Just a wee bit more practise and the last few niggles will smooth out as well.
How are you getting away with posting this on YouTube? Iāve had 2 friends who posted themselves playing Hotel California and both had their YouTube account deleted for copyright infringement. One of them had 5 years worth of videos (several hundred). All gone.
Iāve been afraid to post any videos of me playing Eagles tunes.
I uploaded the videos like any other, I didnāt get any YT restrictions. I also didnāt receive any request to take them down, but happy to do so if there is one. I have no monetization on my channel, I am learning to play guitar.
If the copyright thing would be an issue for us when we post videos of our covers it would be an issue for most of our videos, not just Eagles songs.
Because of this, I had assumed the important factor is whether the person posting the video is making money from their channel, ie making money from reproducing someone elseās copyrighted song.
