father passed recently, he loved your videos, looked you up yesterday and mustve barely missed this - was our favorite song and ill always know this solo by heart, great video as always
Really sorry for your loss
Sorry, just reading this now (07-08-2024). Lost my Dad 4 years ago. Even when you see it coming, when it happens it's devastating. My sympathy to you and your family.
@@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials 🍀💙
you're such an underrated teacher your classic rock lessons are amazing
Your tutorials are always of the highest quality. Tone is perfect as usual.
No kidding. I love to learn, but just listening to these tutorials is like a drug.
I have really struggled hard to get this tone on my Fender CHAMPION20 Amplifier along with Fender Squier Bullet Strat HSS. In the end i lost hope and stopped learning it. Any advise/Suggestions from the community might ignite the spark again (Do i need to purchase anything else or i can get this or similar tone from my existing amp?) Please suggest.
@@sonuorcinus1You could try using a JOYO ultimate drive pedal with a little gain. I bought one of these cheap pedals recently after watching loads of videos on it. It’s ridiculously good for the price and adds a lovely thickness to the tone. I play a Telecaster and run it into the Ultimate drive, a Fender amp modeller and Strymon Flint.
Thank you VERY much! I chased Felder’s lesson for a bit. This is what I needed. Great lesson. You demonstrate multiple times and you stitch it all together. AND you play and talk instead of yak yak yak yak yak with no play.. Thank you!
I need to download this before it’s removed. 😊

Yes, indeed! On it!
Lessons are hardly ever removed, usually demonetised
@@bassesatta9235 I’ve not seen an eagles lesson stay on TH-cam for very long. For some reason they’re jerks about it. Let’s hope they let this one stay
@@cidlopeztrue. There was a perfect cover of ‘one of these nights’ here and although not a lesson, it was so clear and clean that one could figure it out. It’s gone…
I can’t express enough gratitude for the gift of inspiration you provide me in these lessons. Not only because you pick so many of my favorite songs, but the way you present it really resonates with me.
Tabs…I love tabs, I need tabs for the fret positions and shapes. I can get a long way with those.
But the feeling of being in the same room getting a lesson from you, is absolutely priceless. Seeing it done, as well as learning at the pace you go, reminds me of my best instructors I haven’t had in over 30 years. Thanks for bringing that back for me.
I just watched Don Felder play this in concert 2 weeks ago. He was on tour with Bonamassa. Don is a hell of a player.
They are still at it brother. How much were your tickets racerx? Go Speed Racer Go!!! I would like to check it out but I aint forkin over 3 bills for a show ! Money is tight but it is the principle for me.I have seen HUNDREDS of shows (not including mine LOL, kidding) and all were a fair price. Shit man ,I saw Joe Walsh (my main influence) for 14.00 bucks , AND I had my elbows on the lip of the stage. Bro, I could see up his friggin nose (a big nose) and was hot with his sweat all night. This was the old Ritz in the Village. Capacity must have been 300, 350? I also saw SRV at the New Years eve Midnight show there, Megadeth, and many others..
I love this. Although someday I want to learn this, I also enjoy my favorite parts of the riffs being repeated and squeezed for all they are worth. I play this as background while I do techno-economic analysis in Excel spreadsheets. It's like tasting the best toppings of your favorite pizza over and over again. Delicious.
Honestly though, even if it's impossible for everyone to come to an agreement, I'm gonna say this solo has got to be in the top five of all time.
fantastic tutorial I was having trouble with the part where you said not to bar the G&B strings but to roll the finger, and it is still tricky but this helped a TON
That one takes time man. Hendrix does that on Voodoo child on the first lead. I am not a Hendrix fan though.
You're such a great person and great musician.
I made so many mistakes when I even tried build this solo by mine own.
Iconic. Bang on. Welcome back man, hope you are feeling better and health is good. Always the best teacher on the net. Period.
He is Don. Andy has the age, chops, ear and feel of the songs that he teaches. He is a monster of a guitarist. By age I mean that it is very obvious to me that he has learned everything he does or covers, by LISTENING to every note played. I am 56 and I would bet heavy on the fact that he learned mostly everything on his own by sitting with a tape or an album and rewinding 100 times until he nailed the note, the string it is played on and the feel that comes with many , many hours of playing. There was no tab when I began playing, and when it came around it was never right. I still refuse to study tab, even now that it`s more accurate. Us old bastards don`t need tab. We did what Andy did. Play and hone your ear to hear every note as played by the original recording (if you are doing covers or just love the song) and drill it in to your bones.
I know that you are a good guitarist by merely reading your comment. You have done what I just said. Only a good player with years on stage in clubs can "see" what you have. Best to ya Don!
I also like on the live recording, how Don and Joe finish their short fills with pick drags!👍
Me too man!!
Thank you so so much for this lesson, and for all of your lessons!! You are a blessing!
I have watched and read countless countless tutorials over the years. You may be the first to mention the mystery note around 15:35. I think I have figured it out. As you bend down a whole step on the 17th fret B string and then strike the 15th fret, before bending the 17th up again try adding a super quick note on the 14th of the E. I swear this makes it sound much more accurate to the record.
That`s a good catch Darren. I really never noticed it until this video. I learned the song a looooong time ago because Joe is the reason I began playing in 1979. I actually feel like an idiot now! How many times have we all heard H.C. ? Too many. But I like Andy and he is old school like me. Us old bastards learned by rewinding tape 1000 times until we got a song down correctly. I am gonna break out a guitar and try your thing!
You have qa good ear man. I have heard and played this song forever but I figured they kept the take and used it.
Finally someone explains this like a guitar player! 😂 Thanks!
came back to your "reissue" of this lovely classic....and you really do show all the variations on this solo....cheers...gives me a bit to do now....especially the last part with Joe and Don harmonizing decenting....i like that allmost the best....thx again for your "sterling" work...
Great lesson
Such an iconic lead
Thanks bro this will help me. I remember when I was in high school I broke lots of strings with this song. Hehehehhe. You nailed it.
after finding this video ive been learning it so fast. thank you so much!
OMG the detail, accuracy and effort here are beyond great. Thanks.
2min and already know that’s the best tutorial 🙏 thanks
Once again,superb and accurate replica of a guitar classic!
Your tone is absolutely gorgeous
Please do a tutorial of the acoustic involving the chorus! I loved what you did with the acoustic lesson on the intro/verse! Do the chorus please!
Great lesson easy to learn from the great explanation thank you
I just saw you uploaded this. I've been waiting for more Eagles guitar lessons, and you make the best there are.
He’s already got them
Am 42 years old. Started playing guitar recently....
I am 57 just start.
Alright Let's Go!!
I'm finally learning this iconic lead. Do you mind if I offer corrections? 3:36 should be 4 7 4 on G string.
I wish I could find a guitar lesson video for the Eagles live 77' "Hotel California" solo where they played the tail end of the dual guitar solo part but they changed it up with some cool bends and I always thought that sounded better than the original album version! Which is rare for me to actually like, when a band changes up the solo parts to the album version when playing their hit songs live, but this occasion I thought it sounded better
As always Andy a fantastic lesson and a very detailed breakdown of two great solos. I'm pretty sure Joe Walsh used a phase 90 set at about 10 o'clock on his solo rather than a chorus. A lot of the "twin guitar" bands of the day did the same thing just to give the individual players a different sound rather than have them sounding the same - Scott from Thin Lizzy would be a good example.
Dereck St. Holmes also used one on Wang Dang Sweet Poontang solo, off Double Live Gonzo I think
Man I’ve missed these. Can’t wait to work on it!
First time I saw this. Excellent job on your explanations. Love it.
Always great! But you probably know the Eagles are notorious for strikes and videos taken down. Rock on!!
Good to see ya Andy......
Great to see your NEW videos back on TH-cam
Absolutely fabulous video. I always know that when I watch your stuff you won’t waste my time…maybe the live versions are different because “Mr. Felder” (LOL) just got tired of playing it the same way for so long.
Thanks for this great lesson. This is a multi-month project for me, lol. But very satisfying to plug away on.... And also thanks for referencing the Felder lesson, which adds a couple cool twists.
Multi-month for the leads??? That is nuts.Don1t take this the wrong way but, you should not bite off more than you can chew. Start to build your chops man. To get clean, fast, solid and tasteful takes time and pain. You gotta do your scales and modes and arpeggio`s down and it gets boring. But it is like lifting weights. Push those picking patterns and modes from the first fret to the 21st fret. Back in H.S. as I became a guitarist known about locally. When meeting someone at a party or whatever, people would say "You are Andrew ..."? Man I have heard of you dude". Work out those exercises and you will see the change take place very soon!! Good luck my friend.
Always awesome lessons. Can you provide a contrasting color behind the strings do we can more sharply see the plectrum and strings?
Great lesson, thank you!
Thank you
The Best on youtube
Thank you!
Always the best🤘🏼
Thanks bro I’ve been learning this back home no luck hahahaa good job.
Love your videos. Would love a lesson on the pinch harmonics in the chorus!!!! I could never get those.
I like how you spend time showing what NOT to do as well as how to play the parts note for note. I notice the same thing in some peoples playing. There is a lazy way to play parts and then there is a fussy way that is note for note.
Great video!! Thanks
This time I can follow
Sounds great! Thank you 🙏, also can I ask what amp do you play through?
There's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. Cheers
Can you do one for" One of the nights" by The Eagles
Great lessons .I learn so much from you. I have a request to learn Back in the saddle by Aerosmith. Thank you.
glad your not dead. I was beginning to wonder.
Wow, how long has it been?
Just great!
Thank u.
It think he (Don Felder) changed the first harmony part of the live version because it's a little bit tricky to reach those higher frets on a EDS-1275. The way you explained it (assuming that that's the correct way he played it on the record and I think your correct) is a recipe for disaster live on a EDS-1275 so that's why I think he changed it. And I guess that he played like that so many times that that's the way he explained it in his video. Anyway, that's my two cents.
Thank you for the re-upload!!
10/10 total btw
Thanks in case I can find the others!
awesome video!!!
im a beginner and in 1:16 in 12 fret 2nd string i cant reach the 15 fret note by bending lol. so i just slide it haha.
Sooo close to subscribing but moving on to someone who'll call out all the notes. Im just not good enough for anything less. Thanks for the effort.
You're the best

Can you give me the effects he uses to get the guitar tone for Hotel California?
excellent vid
can you do some starship?
wow, now the Eagles are going to get your savings!
Hi your donate link failed to load - please let me know when it's fixed! Love your lessons!
I just checked and everything is working good so I'm not sure what the problem might be. If you want you can use my direct PayPal link. You don't need a PayPal account if it's a one time donation. bit.ly/3PHZXsW
how are you bending so much and staying in tune without a locking mechanism? my GL legacy isn't nearly as stable for some reason
I love your tone how to get it?
There's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. Cheers
Great lesson !!! But can you also use musical notes instead of just tabs
Thanks. I guess you haven't bought my tab. It contains tablature as well as notation. Cheers, Andy.
Don Felder wrote both lead parts.. Then had to teach Joe how to play his part..
nice job i followed pretty good for only playing 1/2 years
QUESTION.....What make (brand), model, and, color is your Les Paul ? * ? * ? Gorgeous Guitar ! * ! * ! JimInCincy.....
There's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. Cheers
I have to say after buying the tabs im annoyed at the spacing involved with having gtr 2 in the same frame. Since Im a single guitarist and use a stomp to scroll while playing theres a whole lot of foot tapping. Otherwise the lesson and tab are better than I had. Also during the arpeggios at measure 31 the ungodly stretch between 7-3 has to go the way of my substitute of the Em and F# triads. Has a whole the lesson is very instructive I just hoped for a separate tablature between gtr 1 and 2
Dude, if you scroll through the tab you'll see that the first part is both guitars but then you'll see guitar 1 only and then guitar 2 only. I do this for the very reason you mention. Cheers, Andy.
Don Henley's lawyers will have this taken down in 3...2...1...
Where you actually play this solo?
www.shutupandplay.ca/hotel-california--solos.html
Still can’t get the “rake into the note” thing right. Sounds like a palm mute with too much of the open strings still coming through.
More practice for me to get that technique down.
what are you using for strings?
There's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. Cheers

Incredible lesson. Makes me sad how Don Henley and Glenn Frey treated Don Felder. Even though Joe Walsh is amazing, there would be no Eagles and and and no hotel California album without Don Felder. HH
Why are you reuploading the same videos you already have?
Until recently this video has been blocked in the US.
Then the question is, has Don Henley backed off his stance on music education using this as Fair Use? I would like to know how it became unblocked since Henley and crew not only demonetize, but they block and give out copyright strikes (3 of which gets you banned on YT). I hope this has become a thing of the past...
@17:33
You and you alone with that red guitar are the reason why I got a Gibson Les Paul.... the black dog tutorial...
yeah man choke up for the Walsh part..
Is it standard tuning?
Better watch this before Don finds out.
6:53
Big bad Don's gonna getcha
good point about holding the first bend. That's what the original record and 1977 live had. I have seen 10+ covers on youtube but none of them paid attention to that. Even Don Felder himself didn't in th-cam.com/video/JLcL4MkpJQ4/w-d-xo.html
Did i learn it “yes”, did it take me five fucking years to decipher what fret this guy was on and and when he was doing pull off’s “yes”😂
yer gonna burn out yer frets mate..
ok this solo is too hard dude..
Are you nuts? You're going to get a copyright strike!!
Shouldn't you be switching to a Tele' for Joe's parts 🤣
The guitar work is great, but the song is awful. The Eagles are masters of their craft, and very few of their tunes are listenable. I always reach for the dial when they come on.
What ??? must be a bot !!
@@PaulSmith-zi3snGood taste is an acquired trait that too few possess.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@@Empathiclistener The beholders have differing levels of sophistication, depth of knowledge about music, and of course, taste. The Eagles have always been purveyors of sappy music designed to appeal to a wide audience. It is no surprise that they are widely disliked among many of their fellow musicians.
Not the same without the demo. Less inspired to bother to learn it.
