Hotel California Solo - divided into 25 Licks with groupings


This post is based on the following Hotel California guitar solo
lesson on Youtube:

The solo above is conveniently broken down into 25 licks for easy
learning (thanks for sharing).

For my own personal learning which I find very helpful to myself (and
seeing it may also be of help to others), I have made the following
groupings so that it's easier for me to remember the sequence of
licks... ...

... ...and therefore act as aide-memoire which then facilitate faster
play on the Hotel California solo:


Lick Groupings (12 groups total):

Group A:
1-2


Group B:
3-4
