Thank you sir, I appreciate those kind comments.

 

[Goon Dog]

Nice one. I thought Felder wrote the solo in Hotel California by himself, but evidently Walsh did the 2nd part. Felder was gone of course when I saw them on Glenn Frey's last tour and Walsh killed it.

 

[cincymma79]

Now that I’m trying to learn a little guitar myself I have learned how impossible a lot of chili pepper songs are. I’ll filter back through this list in a bit.

 

[El Che]

What a stacked first round. Can't wait to see where this one goes.
