bout 3 minutes long.

Note, this is just me screwing around, I am not counting, nor trying, hard, Also, This is literally my first time playing for a year.

I am playing a Martin OM18, Mainly because its my baby, long story behind it, My dad wanted it on ebay, and my mom said No, and i was a sneaky 6-7 year old, and i bought it...

Also, If I want, or feel like it, later next month when i learn the rest, i'll use the 16 track studio to record it, and lay some sax lines down under it, I only recorded it with my mp3 player.

Aww, C'mon, not even a "yeah, thats kinda okay, i guess" or a "crappy."?! Negative feedback is better than none at all.

Well. Its not bad. At first, it seems somewhat hesitant, but it definitely gets better at the end.
I dont know that much about playing the guitar, honestly, but i guess you just need some more practice.

I kinda like it actually. Like Sheld0n here said, it starts off a little weak but it picks up later on and sounds pretty good. Keep practicing; this kinda thing doesn't come quick.

"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave"

Anyways, fter asting half the page (it is the spam forum) I have to say, not bad, makes me want to continue my plan to take up guitar.
