[Baronbandit1]

[ECWfan700]

This is great I remember when some people said you could not play this I love it

[TruthinFilm]

wow

[Satyr1975]

How can this get so high rating? Not very good cover. 2 stars from me.

[molecularmotion]

[Charlesrandall]

it is the way the Eagles play it on their Hell Freezes Over album. Thanks for viewing the video.

[puzzlemanbob]

Real nice sound.

I have been looking for the tabs the way you play it in the video.cant seem to find them anywhere.any chance you can email me them? thanks.

puzzlemanbob

[Charlesrandall]

sorry to be so long in the reply - I don't do youtube much anymore. I don't use tabs - just listen to a song and play it.

[LPslash17]

well done, and your guitar sounds amazing - as do all ovations!

[carloguitarist]

questa è la bellissima versione unplugged....grande ;)

[Bloodthirstaid]

great job man...

I never thaught this song could be played at this level

[alvastarr67]

nice playing

[sptech123]

I have an ovation and i'm trying out different strings. what type and gauge do you suggest?

[mechoman444]

dude, quite your day job and keep practicing, you'll get it, but considering the level of difficulty that song presents, great effing job dude!

[Eguitarman]

This is great-you are awesome. Hopefully you play professionally. Can you email me the tab that you use? The tabs that I seen for this are way too difficult -I'd really appreciate it - I've seen the Eagles 3 times and really want to learn to play that.

Thanks in advance and best regards-

[warpstar0]

Well dude... If they all look difficult, this one would be the exact same. :|

[DAILYCASH411]

Charles nice job man!! A+

[tancho321]

BRAVO!!! BEAUTIFUL OVATION!!!

[PeaceLoveHappiness94]

goooooood man teach me

[Charlesrandall]

I could have you playing it in an hour but you'll have to make it to southeast Texas. Thanks for looking and your comment, I appreciate it!

[iplaymyoozik]

hey, great cover! i was wondering, i'm getting an ovation fairly soon and was wondering if going through a decent sized combo amp (acoustic of course) is loud enough for live shows. love ovation tones =)

[Charlesrandall]

Maybe. It would depend on the size of the concert hall and its acoustice. Bigger amp is always nice and you have more controls. Thanks for looking and have fun!

[someone199610]

THAT WAS GREAT!!! Hey, I'm looking at buying an Ovation guitar and I was wondering...Do Ovations have a built in Amp? Please comment back!!!

[Charlesrandall]

Thank you for the last several comments - I appreciate it. No built in amp. But this model is a standard/electric. I've got it plugged into a small fender amp. The guitar does have a small built in equalizer but it is nothing to brag about. I have this one plugged into a small fender amp that allows for better adjustments on the sound. Thanks again!!

[asgdfgdf]

im just 2 months in playing guitar, and i hope to be like you in playing guitar someday

[Corlejoni]

very nice!

[anakindu22]

hello good good

what did you config the guitare ?? ; treble, middle etc thans

[lalobarrera99]

You play it so different, But I like it very much... just keep practicing.

[Charlesrandall]

Thanks - I've been practicing since I was 14 and I'm 57. Thanks for looking at my video and posting a comment, I appreciate it.

[loveburgers]

If I get an ovation, does that mean I'll be able to play as well as you?:)

[thepiratep]

liked the way you played this im trying to learn it but cant find any reliable source where i can do it....nice playing man

[scubasteve711]

type in googe "eagles hell freezes over acoustic hotel california" and look for the link with "E-tabs" in it.

[irvingjohn]

I love your playing, and I love Ovation!

[NigaBitchSk8er]

Does an Ovation guitar has steel strings or nylon???

[Charlesrandall]

Steel. You'll find nylon strings mostly on classical guitars (they'll have very wide necks, too). Thanks for looking at my video, I appreciate it!

[scubasteve711]

No worries. I was just wondering how that beautiful sound came out of the guitar.

[kb5zcr]

I have an Ovation Elite. I love it. You are a good guitar player. Don't listen to the nay sayers on here. Some us have to work and don't make a living playing music. Keep playing what you like. I enjoy listening to other players live.

[HOWDINSKI]

Just ordered an ovation, the sound is stunning!

Great play!

[almondoxide21]

Beautiful!!! Love the Eagles

[babsen666]

i realy like your sound! awesome guitar!

your video goes right to my favorites :)

[voltaspeeder17]

Some great playing, we have there :) Your guitar doesn't only look nice, it sounds awesome too :)

[talproject]

Thats an awsome guitar (:

I've considered buying it =)

[AnalogKidAlex]

well done, that's a good bit of playing:) and also... that's a beautiful guitar;)

[nolyspe]

As the others said, nice video, who cares about mistakes ?

The sound of that ovation is terrific, I'm probably gonna get one when I'll have some money ;p.

[bongo555home]

I like your video,It's people like you that make YOUTUBE interesting, real people doing real simple things and sharing it, You play great, my next guitar will be an OVATION, just wish i could play like you.....regards

[Charlesrandall]

Thank you for taking the time to look at my video and posting a comment - I appreciate it. I didn't start playing yesterday so everyone has to start somewhere. The point is don't get discourage - there is always someone somewhere that plays better than you. Just have fun and stick with it.

[drochowski]

did You add some chorus to this? sound of this guitar is very interesting. You're also a good player

best regards

[Charlesrandall]

The guitar is plugged into a small Princeton Fender amp and I have a slight echo effect turned on. Although the guitar can be played as an acoustic, any amp really brings the sound out nice. Thanks for your comment and looking at my video - I appreciate it!

[Funksoldier]

mistakes? so what! Just play for the fun of it!

NIce video, great guitar!

[antomanii]

sounds great. nice guitar!

[Charlesrandall]

Thanks taq3434 and dejablue630 for your taking the time to look and comment on my video. I apprecaite it. Yep, ovation celebrity. My 50th birthday gift from my wife (on MY credit card). No complaints - just joking. I'd really like to get that new ovation electric/standard that came out a few months ago but 1400.00 is too much right now. Thanks again!

[Dejablue630]

Nice video, I like it. Nice Guitar too.

[tag3434]

ovation celebrity?

[ale15pcxxx]

this is a stupid video,, is terrible!!!! many mistakes,,, and itsnt the song Xp terrible

[gerpir]

Well done Mate. My favorite acustic guitar brand. Cheers!

WTF mistakes! Everyone're doing these... :)

[Charlesrandall]

Yeah, you are right. If I sat and played this song trying to get it perfect, well I just don't have that much time left on earth. THANKS for your looking at my video and posting a comment, I appreciate it!

[Moodiam]

nice vid, love it

[Charlesrandall]

Thank you LennonsDisciple and Moodiam! I appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to look at my video.

[ckorban]

Very nicely done, even with the mistakes, good job :)

[LennonsDisciple]

Not bad Don Felder. Mate, you need to come out of retirement, beg Don to take you back so that you can practise with the rest of the band. At moment, your guitar playing is out of sort. LOL

[Charlesrandall]

Some days I can't make a mistake and others, well. This was done on the first take and I'll do another video on one of my "good" days. Thanks for looking!

[dotanpelled]

many mistakes, try to fix them m8..
