Hello there. I'm 62 years old and was around when Hotel California was first released in 1977. So I've always been aware of this song. I have always played the guitar a "bit", licks and riffs and stuff. Recently I met a guitarist for jams etc. He suggested we learn HC. I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I came to you!! I learnt HC from your great tutorial. I think that your tutorial is the best. I must admit, I didn't realise that HC was all finger picking patterns. Never the less, I have learnt HC but of course I will now have to cycle it hundreds of times before I can say that it's fluid. Keep up the great work that you are doing!!!

Thanks you so much! but its d without the e string yes?
@@asyatilbe hmm
@@taimaym6846 Yes its Dsus2
why does the capo at the 7th fret turn it into B minor?
Man, I saw like, literally 634 Hotel California tutorials here, but yours has no rivals... It's enlightening. The details you revealed of that wonderful acoustic progression are unique and unprecedented, not even Don Felder ever explained the original arrangement in such a generous way. Thank you so much!
Oh dear it's now 2023 and your Tabs etc are un-availble. After all these years, here am I thoroughly enjoying you lesson. Many thanks
Wow--extremely well done. Your attention to detail, brother, is stunning.
sii
thanks you my good sir !
I figured out how to play it exactly as he explains and even I didn’t understand what I was playing as well as he was explaining
Excellent as always
Thanks David.

Shutup & Play - guitar tutorials Please give the TAB of this lesson
Didn't think in a million years I'd be able to play this song, but you've made it way easier! It feels amazing to be able to play such a classic in detail. Thank you!
wow this tutorial is the best tutorial ever.you just explained everything.thank you so much!
Please never stop doing these lessons!!! I have tried lots of other tutorials for various songs but you have an awesome way of explaining each part to the point that even a total novice as myself can get this and play it half way decent and I love that you even show some alternate ways of playing some chords if they are too hard for some us! Also love your pick of songs from my era.. Bleed to love her, Rain Song, From the beginning.... or this one, Hotel California was a hit when I was in the 8th grade and this song brings back so many memories! Thank You! My Latest endeavor is to learn " Opening Farewell" From Jackson Browne.. I Know you don't have this song in your collection of tutorials but because I have learned a lot from you I hope to try to watch the vids of covers and Live vids and make a go of learning just from watching.. Thanks again for spending your time to teach us!!!!
Always stunning lessons with everything well described and explained. All little details a simple "beginner" would not notice but that have their importance to give the song its charm. Thanks.
Another excellent video. I love how you always pay attention to the smallest detail, as they indeed make all the difference.
Great lesson David. You nailed it once again.
Another great tutorial from one of my favorites on TH-cam. Thanks very much! I love your low-key style and your attention to detail. You are an excellent player - you must have an excellent ear to be able to hear at the level of detail you are teaching. Thanks very much for your efforts!
Thanks you for the great lesson. I have been waiting for this lesson forever, ever since you released the solo lesson! video. Cheers!
Fantastic tutorial. You're a gifted teacher. Your patience oozes out.
Ah, thank you kind sir. I only recently had a breakthrough when doing picking and this tutorial is absolutely brilliant helping further my playing. Thank you very much.
Defintely the best cover I've found while searching for a tutorial. Congrats
That sound of that guitar is just amazing, tnx for great tutorials
Brilliant the way you worked that out, so detailed, sounds AMAZING. The track is such a great track. The Eagles were an amazing band, I never heard a bad song from the Eagles .
This guy is a top player and instructor making the tricky parts easy to understand.
The most reliable guitar tutor to date. thank you very much sir
Its every song you play. They are all great.
Thank's for simplyfying one of the best songs in the world. Now even I can learn to play it. Great work dude👍🏻
Awesome! I've been playing this for years but it never sounded right. Your explanations are really helping. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I visit three main sites MS in the USA for easy versions (good person).
JS in the UK for the next level. (I thank you all)
Then here for sheer perfection. Well done again our Canadian friend. Simply sublime.
Thanks from Bob from Scotland
Thanks a lot Robert, I appreciate the kind words. That's the beauty of TH-cam, there's something for everyone. Both Marty and Justin have done incredible jobs with their channels and websites and have put thousands of hours into them. I respect both those guys a ton. cheers
Ha Ha. Made me smile. You Guessed it was Marty and Justin :-)
Best channel for lessons, all of your instructional videos break down the most seemingly complex songs into playable tunes that are endlessly fun! Keep it up!!!
Great lesson! Appreciate the detailed strumming pattern. I've always felt this was tough to master. Thank you!
i have seen this video a few times and it feels like a best friend gives me a lesson,how to play this ,one of the songs ever. thank you very much.
Another brilliant tutorial - the best around!!
Sir, thank you very much for the best tutorial of Hotel California intro. I have watched some other tutorials but this one is the best. I can now nail all the notes accurately but needs time to make it more smoothly. The intro sounds easy but the hardest part is the picking.
The most accurate sounding version of this song, and great explanation of picking pattern.
Your Hotel California ( just to pick one) is superb, seen the Eagles live many times, if Don fielder had ever thrown a sicky( English term for being ill) you could have stepped right in there. Great lessons well explained, the best on TH-cam.
I'm 52 and really struggle with learning on my guitar as an old beginner this was just ground breaking for me!!! Just brilliant!! Thank you so much!!!
You learning this at 52 gives me hope
there are more older starters who struggled
Very well explained. Knew exactly what you were saying and found it incredibly easy to follow ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for posting. Great tutorial. I've now learnt this by following this video and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Thanks man.
Thank you for your superb lessons, well paced and articulate as always. cheers
The best teacher in the world!
Muchas gracias, Señor Shut & Play.
I finally nailed this one down.
Thank you so much. I learnt this is two days man. So glad I found you here.
So great. Like you I think it is always worth to learn the recorded version before starting to improvise. Unfortunately I don't have your talent in transcribing and I am often forced to use available tabs knowing they are not complete/correct. That's the reason I am always looking forward to your lessons and greatful beyond words.
Awesome job. Very precise as always. Thankyou
You have nailed it! Thanks for the lesson. I am gonna learn it...
This is the only perfectly played lesson I’ve come across. Nice one. 👍😁
That is just splendid. Tremendous.
Probs one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on TH-cam for hotel California by far
Ur right
Perfect! Thanks so much. You're a great player and an even better teacher! Felder wasn't bad either! One of my faves is New Kid in Town. Simply brilliant! Thanks again, my friend!
This is one of those songs where you think you've learned it until you find the next TH-cam tutorial like this one ... Which I swear sounds perfect 😊 ! I want to sequence this two guitar version into garage band since it has an awesome sampled acoustic sound. Great job!
Very intuitive. Thank you very much.
this is so good! it sounds exactly like the song!
i just wanna say thank you very much for you, this is very awesome and easy to learn.. keep spirit!!!
fantastic the sound unforgetable
Thanks very much. This video made learning the song very simple and enjoyable. 👍
Best tutorials on the web
Came for the guitar lesson and subscribed when I realised you can play and teach it better than Don Felder or anyone else on TH-cam for that matter. Kudos
Thank's man
It's a great tutorial lesson
You are playing beautifully
Amazing! Many thanks!!
You're a great teacher !!thank you ♥️♥️
Thanks dude, you are a great teacher, appreciate your videos
Super lesson
Sounds great.
This is really great. Thankyou.
Your tutorial is absolutely first class. not to mention the first time i heard this song I was 12 years old and now I'm 52. I still think that this song is the best of all time. I definitely think felder must have been on something to write such excellent lyrics and music to get this right. thx again.....
I was twelve when you wrote this comment.
@@jeppepuus I was 3 when you wrong this comment.
I've seen a lot of video lessons and how-to's... and i can say: the best of all it's you!
Thanks for helping us to sound like the masters!
Greetings from Oaxaca, Mex,
great lesson thank you so much.
thanks dude you save me so much time. God Bless
Top notch as always. We are thinking of trying this in our 3 piece band, trying to figure out if I can make it sound good enough on one electric guitar. Was attracted to the solo, in particular those famous harmonized arpeggios at the end. I got them self harmonizing with an appropriately set delay, sound pretty good actually so think it could work. Then I look into how to really play this main riff here thinking it would be simple and it kind of blows my mind, didn't realize it would need a capo. Gonna be a masochist and see how close I can get it without the capo, left hand will probably fall off by start of solo. Never really paid any attention to Don Felder until this week, only ever heard a lot about Walsh, now Felder is kind of blowing my mind with his play here and the unplugged version.
Best teaching style seen to date, and skilled playing. I wish you were a neighbor/personal guitar sensei. Dressed in black so as not to distract from the guitar, very smart.
FINALLY YOURE THE BEST OMGGGG
man, your AMAZING!
Outstanding
Thank you so much! You're great teacher ! It is very easy way !
Amazing lesson my friend,thanks alot!
Thanks a lot. Fantastic teacher!!
wow! best online lesson ever!
You are the best!
omg best lesson ever, you're awesome dude
This is really well done thank you
another great, "keep your fingers on the strings" lesson! thanx Andy------i appreciate you doing the lesson with the capo as when i play it in E minor, my fat, arthritic fingers have a tough time negotiating the chords and also keeping the bar is very difficult---so thanx again-----Bart
Aside from the totally excellent music lesson, I really need to comment on the video presentation. It's all about the fretboard,, the left and right hand, and the strings. The lighting and camera angle are perfect. Also great is how you capo so we can see both hands in action. Nice touch. And that Taylor is sounding so sweet! I just got my first Taylor, which is also my first 12-string, a couple of weeks ago. I'm using your vids to blow away my friends with some sick Eagles tunes!
Thank you man!!!! you are great, greetings from Costa Rica
Hi from New Zealand,
Excellent, easy to follow tutor. Have learnt so many tunes, tricks and tips. I'm going to subscribe!!!!
awesome lesson
This is the best lesson of this song on youtube
When I hear the opening picking pattern for the first chord (Bmin), I can hear the high D with a pull-off? To the open B note. I had to slow down the track and I'm sure it's there! This is by far the best lesson to get the intro correct! Thanks for all the info!
ご丁寧なアドヴァイス、有難うございました。
awesome player and best teacher i saw here, love your vids bro.
the best hotel california lesson
Beautiful
Thank you for teaching me to play this :)
Excellent lesson ..........as always
Its really easy help me to learn .. thanks
Thank you very much
thank you. it really helped
I love you man !
Thanks!!When I first started playing about 8 yrs ago i went to a guitar teacher and the VERY FIRSTsong he wanted me to practice was Hotel California!!I didnt even know all the open chords yet...I think that started me off on the wrong track.Hell at that point I wanted to play ANYTHING and be able to play it.I would have settled for Mary Had a Little Lamb just to have 'success' at first...As time went by and I got better and I knew the chords I never could find a 'good lesson' on playing Hotel California...I'm sticking my tounge out at my 1st guitar teacher right now(actually it involves 1 of my fingers)
