Thanks hilch and si16. I decided the best way is to just post what i got so far because it has to be heard before the decision to complete it. There's another version on my soundclick too so this link will take to the right one (labeled Hotel Cal2) its on free download. Don't expect a great performance here
I also didn't add much in the way of guitar except a distorted down strum here and there
