Re: hotel California (29 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yeah, because an "attorney" that discusses client information with a guy is probably not an "attorney."
Your expectation that we should believe your anonymous "attorney" turned priest over the published accounts of the people that actually wrote the song are, well, somewhat unreasonable. I'm going to go a few steps further, and just say you're lying.

Lyrics are generally not hard to find.
What I would like is a filter that lets me weed out tab, and leave only chords, and vice versa.

OK. I've got two half finished songs kicking around the composition room already. One more wouldn't hurt.

I don't have a television, and am pretty much a complete pop-culture ignoramus. I don't know who half the people you just mentioned are, and that makes me happy. 
However, I will say that anyone that does anything because their goal is to be famous is probably going to bore the pants right off me. Anyone that gets famous because they do something they love well enough to garner attention is probably someone I want to go see.

Re: hotel California (29 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Don Henly says you're full of beans. The song is a metaphor for the music industry in Los Angeles. Musicians enter it of their own accord, and then find they're stuck in that system forever.
They stabbed it with their steely knives..
That is a lyrical shout out to Donald Fagan, of Steely Dan fame. They had referenced the Eagles in their song "Everything You Did."
All of that has been stated by the guys that actually wrote Hotel California, and are probably best suited to tell us what the song is about.
And it aint SATAN!!!!

Re: 4 String Bass Guitar (2 replies, posted in About Chordie)
You should be able to work out a bass line using the chords for guitar. That's what I do. It's harder to do with tablature, but if they have the chords, simply start with the root of whatever chord you're playing.
For country, you'll play a lot of the IV and V of that scale.

Re: roger whittaker (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I've never heard of them refered to as "Nashville Numbers" but they are useful. They allow you to play the song in any key.
Study scales, and how they relate to how chords are structured if you want to have a good understanding of why the II is always minor, and the IV and V are major, etc. It makes sense!

Jerome,
One the scales, do you follow a particular regemin? Do you work through chord patterns in a scale, go in order, do a pattern that has you get through the scale in every possible order? Any books or site resources that may be useful for arpeggio and scale exercises?
My long term goal is to play scales in circle of 5ths order. That's pretty much the standard for any serious musician. Short term, though, the answer is "it depends."
If I'm doing nothing but strengthening exercises, I'll simply play four fret spread patterns across the fretboard.
Put your index finger on any fret on the E string and viola.
From A, for example.
-----------------------------------5--8-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------5--8--------5--7-----
----------------------5--8---------------------5--7-----
----------------5--8----------------------------------5--7--
---------5--8-------------------------------------------------5-7--------------5--6-----------------
---5--8---------------------------------------------------------------5--7------------------------------
You get the idea. The point here is to simply work the muscles in your hands, and the articulation in all of your fingers. These are also good picking exercises, too. You can barre and play these as well. Play them until it hurts.
If I'm doing some theory or compositional work, then I'll play legitimate scales. Last night I wrote a little riff in D minor. So I made it a point to try to play Dm all over the fretboard, not just at the open position, but all the way down the neck. Dm is also the natural minor for F major, so I practiced F major, and all it's modes as well.
I guess the one thing I advocate that I know is not popular is to not try to play songs until you have developed at least some coordination and strength in your hands. When I picked up the guitar, I did so because I wanted to play the instrument as a whole. I didn't just want to knock out other peoples tunes. So for the first four months or so, I did nothing but chord progressions and those spread scales I put up above. After that I incorporated songs into my routine, and now I pick up new songs easily, and can transpose without much effort.
You should develop a practice routine that works for you. Setting goals is always a good first step.
Oh, one other thing. This will help you practice every day. Keep the guitar out of it's case. Go buy a stand, and keep the guitar on the stand next to wherever you find yourself sitting at the end of your day. It makes it super easy to pick it up for five or ten minutes worth of practice. If it's in the case, it's a hassle to get out, and put away, so you're less inclined to do so.
