Story Behind The Song

I wanted to see what I could do with the "Hotel California" chords played backwards (had to change a couple)which I then jazzed up. I wrote the melody with a swing 16ths feel. For backing I used Band In A Box 2011.5 using a "Smooth Jazz" patch, switching to Reggae in the middle 8. For the solo I used a non swing 16th patch. I played all the guitar. The solo is all one take (the 3rd of 3), but I cut it up and used effects to add interest. I also wanted the whole melody to be in harmony.

Song Description

Interestingly, this was recorded with a Strat- not known for use in this kind of music. I used the line6 Toneport/Pod Farm with my own patch.
