It's not often I lust after something,

The sound and look of the Gibson black and white double neck electric guitar played by Don Felder during the intro to Hotel California is distinctive and melodic. I've always associated that guitar and that song.

There's an excellent YouTube video where Don Felder explains how he played Hotel California on the original studio recording versus how he played it live. And I think he might have even simplified it further later on. From memory the original was on an acoustic.

Also, Rick Beato and some others have pointed out that the auto tune/pitch correction virus is hitting original recordings/videos now on YouTube and Spotify. Including Hotel California.

Point being unless you're using an old recording you are not listening to the original performance anymore, sadly.

I play mandolin, some go for $100k. Mine is worth $1,000. Stringed instruments, it's crazy.

My Guitar Guru's Wife plays classical Violin. You could buy a real nice Truck for the price of one of her bows.

Who'd guess that vintage guitar/amp buyers would become as crazy as KAC fanboys.

Exactly! I still own the Uzi…..it’s my only MG and that Les Paul would probably still bring more money! Craziness!

I've seen that Felder video. Love how he described and then demonstrated his and Joe Walsh's parts in the solo.
