The Eagles - Hotel California (Drums)

I played the following over and over until I played it with little struggle.
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/e/eagles/hotel_california_drum_tab.htm
H |x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|
S |----o-------o---|----o-------o---|
B |o-------o-----o-|o-------o-----o-|

I started H+S. Then I tried to do H+B but it was too hard to time so I just tried to do all three.

I would often do:
H |x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|
S |----o-------o---|
B |o-------o-------|

Or:
H |x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|
S |----o-------o---|
B |o-----o-o-----o-|

Or basically I would have to do at least the double or single bass in a row before my mind could mentally switch. But at some point I get into the rhythm and just do it. I really just have to trust myself that I'm doing it, otherwise the moment I try to concentrate on it, I lose it.

In the end, it was easiest for me to start the pattern as a double tap and then single and then focus on starting over with the double.

So instead of:
H |x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|
S |----o-------o---|----o-------o---|
B |o-------o-----o-|o-------o-----o-|

Then I play:
H x-|x-xx--x-x-xx--x-|x-xx--x-x-xx--
S --|----o-------o---|----o-------o-
B o-|o-------o-----o-|o-------o-----

It's possible that's what the lead-in notes are for.

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/bruno_mars/the_lazy_song_crd_992284id_01102010date.htm With this tab, strum up twice on each chords. Except perhaps the occasional need to strum four times. Strumming down works. Or sometimes strumming to imitate the whistling works. I didn't want to go through and memorize it at the moment because I didn't want to spend to much time feeling it out. But the chorus is B F# E repeated three times and then B D#m E. The song appears to be in the key of B major. B C# D# E F# G# A#. The tab writes Ebm instead of D#m.

Nolwenn Leroy - Song of the Sea (Lullaby)

Chord Analysis: Key C Progression a : I vi V vi I vi V V Progression a': I vi V vi I vi V I Progression b : [iii] IV I I V IV I V V Progression b': [iii] IV I I V IV I V I Verse 1: Prog a / Prog a' (single strum per chord) Chorus: Prog b / Prob b' (single strum with a few notes following) Verse 2: Same as Verse 1 (single strum with several notes following) Chorus Bridge: IV I I IV Chorus (Instrumental) Chorus Outro: I vi I [20150921][20191223 Edit] I found information here on the word "stóirín": Mo stoirín (pronounced mu store -een) This is translated as my “little darling”. Stór is the Irish word for my love/my darling so by adding the een onto the end it becomes my little darling.

Everclear - Wonderful

Played 20100101: This was an easy enough song, that before looking at the tab, I knew the first chord is G, and that the key was in G, and that the other two chords would be D and C, and was pretty sure on the G D C D progression. But not entirely. Though I knew it didn't sound like Brown-Eyed Girl, so it wasn't a G C G D progression. And the music was lively enough to not contain an Am or Em. The Dsus4 does sound better than the D, but I wonder if it should replace the second D as well. G Dsus4 C Dsus4 instead of the below G Dsus4 C D. ::shrug:: If just playing the guitar part as done in the song, the strumming is Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum... where the two strums are strumming one chord from the previous and then the next, i.e., G, G D, D C, C D, D G, etc. But when playing alone, or with only guitars, it's better to be a little creative to fill in the blanks. I seem to be doing D D D DU UD. But I don't know how that's happening because I'm
