The anonymous EZB seems insecure in his/her arrogance:  hiding your
electronic trail is somewhat akin to shouting at passers-by from the
bushes.

A competent musician should do everything possible to build on that 
talent.  But a truly competent musician won't need or want to 
belittle others who are less skilled.  His or her ability will speak 
for itself.  And someone who wants to help others improve will do it 
in a gentle, supportive way, so people will be inclined to listen rather 
than dump their beer on his or her head.

Real musicians DO music.  Reading music is a tool to be employed in the
doing.  It is one thing (and quite common) for a tinkering hack to use 
a tool; it is quite another to make a work of art.  Which would you
prefer:  a thing of beauty made by simple means, or ugly junk made
with all the "right" tools?

Besides "high" art, there is also folk art, done only for the pleasure
of oneself and (hopefully) one's friends and family.  Tablature can make
songs accessible for such purposes to people who haven't the time or
energy to learn "real" music, perhaps because they have family and work
responsibilities and aren't free to spend hours a day practicing
because mom and dad are paying all the expenses.  This expanded
repertoire may be enough to spur some amateurs to move on to a more
serious approach to music; but even if they don't, there is nothing
wrong with that.

I rest my case.  I will thank you, EZB, to get off it.

How many music-reading guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?
Six.  One to change the bulb, and five to say, "Ha! I can do that!"

I'm doing this from memory, so the picking may not be exactly
correct, but it's close enough that you should be able to get the
idea.
                      Hotel California

intro:
       F               Bm          A9                  E

The rest of the verses are the same progression, except the A9 is 
replaced with an A.  The progression for the refrain is

G D Bm F    G D E (or Em, I can't remember) F


The chords are (in order of appearance)
F {2 4 4 3 2 2}  Bm {2 2 4 4 3 2} A9 {0 0 2 2 0 0} E {0 2 2 1 0 0}

What I'd REALLY like is the bit called "Monsters" and "Never turn you

I've only been able to locate the Btab but I would like to play it on
acoustic.

For those who are not sure, it's the theme from many cartoons when a
monster is coming.  Hopefully you know what I mean ...  :-)

I play it in three ways, depending on what chord's next:
1. The one you give above. Very solid, and you can use your fingers to fret
 some other notes, e.g. if you want to shift to a Asus, you can use your
4rd (pinky) finger.
2. "Barring" the DGB strings with my 3rd finger ;
3. "Barring" the DGB with my 4th finger. Quite useful when rapidly switching
between an E-shape barre and an A-shape barre (e.g. G-C-G-C), because the
4th finger is already in the right position (when playing the E barre) for
the A barre, and vice versa.
With a lot of practice, I can now play the 2nd and 3rd way very "clean" both
on electric and acoustic guitar. The 2nd and 3rd way are also useful to play
A6 barre's.

Well, the world was cool until you said "please no E chords" in your previous
post.  My favorite chords are variations of E, and the E barre chord.
Basically, make an E chord and move it up and down the neck *without* barring.
Leave open the strings you'd normally bar with your index finger.  You can
get some very nice transitions in the first 5 or so frets and good sounds a
little higher.

As a variation, make a D and move up and around.  Just stroke the same 4 strings 
and leave the D open.  A little experimentation with four frets of this and
Viola!  Out will pop the strumming from Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here"
(not to be confused with the Pink Floyd of a similar title).

As a final note, take a D7 shape and move it around. 

As a final note++, I warned everyone that that damned Jimi Hendrix chord
would spark weeks of discussion and debate, and it occurred.  If we wait 
about 4 weeks, we could start the bugger up again, I guar-an-tee.

I have never posted to this group before and I really do not appreciate 
flame-wars but what a schmuck you are to judge players like this. I have 
been playing since 1963 when I learned to read music and a Duke Ellington 
quote comes to mind. When asked if he read music, Ellington replied:
"Yes I do, but I don't let it get in the way of my playing".
You'll pardon me if I take his advise and not yours.

PS Your signature is just about as pompous as your posting.
