Hotel California Solo - divided into 25 Licks with groupings
This post is based on the following Hotel California guitar solo
lesson on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF5ylvzuZ54
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
Group C:
5-6
Group D:
7-8 ---> prolonged vibratto
Group E:
9 --> oooOOOoooT (fancy long slide)
Group F:
10-11 --> oooOOOoooT, ending at harmonics 12-11-10-9th fret B string
Group G:
12 --> oooOOOoooT (fancy long slide), 14th fret start
13-14 --> almost identical
Group H:

Youtube video with 1 Billion views
[ 21 December 2012 update:
Gangnam Style - PSY has over 1 Billion views on Youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0
Gangnam Style is a Korean pop single by South Korean musician PSY. This song was the lead single of the album PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1. It was released on July 2012 and debuted at number one on South Korea's music chart. After just 5 short months, it made history on Youtube being the first song to ever hit One Billion views. Also it is now the first music video with over 1 billion views on Youtube.com. ]
Youtube is the world's largest internet video-sharing site from Google. YouTube averages 4 billion views per day. At the moment, as of this writing (April 2012), there is no single video on Youtube with one billion views. But wait, 2 years from now, it is projected that Youtube will have a video with 1 billion views. Guest what? or guess who's video is this coming from? Clue: it is a music video song from the 'King of Youtube' himself. 'Baby ft. Ludacris' from the Canadian singer Justin Bieber is currently ranked as Youtube's most viewed song, most viewed music video, and the overall most viewed video.
Baby is the video with the most views in the history of YouTube. The music video of "Baby" is also currently the most discussed YouTube video. This song is from Bieber's first full-length studio album, My World 2.0 which was recorded beginning in 2009 and was released in March 2010. Immediately, after release, it debuted straight at number one in several countries all over the world. My World 2.0 was certified platinum in the United States. A Gold Album means it has a total of 500,000 music recording sales while a Platinum Album have 1,000,000 music album sales. The best song from this album is the worldwide top-ten single, "Baby", which is also Justin Bieber's biggest hit song to date. His debut album, My World, gave him the record-breaking title for the first artist to have 7 songs from a debut album to be listed on the USA Billboard Hot 100 music charts. "Baby" (featuring Ludacris) was written by Justin Bieber, Terius Nash, Christopher Stewart, Christina Milian, rapper Ludacris, and Christopher Bridges. Baby has a total playing length of 3:36 (three minutes and thirty six seconds). Tricky Stewart, and The-Dream were the song's producers. Justin Bieber has 3 songs/music videos that are listed in the Top 10 Most Viewed Songs on Youtube.
Baby has an average of over 300,000 daily views on Youtube. That would translate into 110 million views per year. It is projected to hit the 1 billion hits benchmark 2.5 years from now. I wrote this article on April 2012, so the music video on Youtube for the song Baby ft. Ludacris shall have (according to this approximate calculations), a total of One Billion Views on October 2014. Just wait and watch out for it! It is around 30 months from now, and Youtube will finally have a single video with 1 billion views.
Another potential Youtube video to hit the One Billion Views milestone is the song 'On The Floor ft. Pitbull' by Jennifer Lopez. I have included the links for you to click and play the top 2 in the List of Top 10 Most Viewed Songs on Youtube.
One Billion Views Youtube videos: (near future)
1. Justin Bieber - Baby ft. Ludacris --> over 723 Million views
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4&ob=av2e
2. Jennifer Lopez - On The Floor ft. Pitbull --> over 518 Million views

Top 10 Best-Selling Music Albums of All Time
The list of top 10 music albums below is based on the number of albums sold worldwide. Michael Jackson's Thriller is the best-selling music album in the world. It is the best-selling album in the USA and currently the most-sold music album of all time. Thriller was released in 1982 by Epic Records. There are 7 singles from the album that went to the top 10 ranks on the USA Billboard Hot 100 music charts. Billie Jean, Beat It, and Thriller are my personal favorite tracks in the album. According to the Grammy Award history, Thriller is the second most honored albums, having won a total of 8 Grammy Awards. Pink Floyd, one of my favorite bands, has The Dark Side of the Moon album as the second best-selling music album of all time in the world. The Dark Side of the Moon holds the record for the Most Weeks on the Billboard 200 music chart. With a total of 773 consecutive weeks (15 years) on the Billboard 200 music chart, The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd remains to be the album with the longest staying power in music charts. Recently, in the week of March 24, 2012, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album was at position #137 on the said week in the U.S. Billboard 200 music chart. Totalling all the weeks (continous and discontinous), the album has an unbeaten record of 800 weeks (15 years & 5 months) on the chart. It is considered to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time. The track 'Time' is my personal favorite in that album. AC/DC's Back in Black album is the third highest-selling album of all time. It also holds the record title of the best-selling hard rock album in the world. The track 'Back in Black' (which is on side two) is my personal favorite.

Top 10 Music Artists with Most Albums Sold
This list of the top 10 best-selling music artists/musicians in the world is not based on claims, rumors, or figures from websites with inflated numbers for promotional purposes and other sales talking and marketing schemes. These figures are based on total certified unit sales of albums, singles, music videos, and digital downloads. The number of albums sold is an important factor in measuring how successful music artists are in terms of their sales. Success of musicians, per se, has many considerations and areas to account for. Therefore, this ranking is based solely on the total worldwide certified sales of music artists' musical works. Numbers from the certified units of sales are rounded off. These are from unbiased online databases and trusted music industry associations. Conflicts of interest (sales promotions, marketing intentions) are out of the topic. Truth is better than false accounts. Note that in the course of time, this list and the ranks of top 10 music artists will change. For example, Pink Floyd and Celine Dion has only 1 million difference, or another music artist might surpass AC/DC and take the number 10 spot.
