Brian Kelly I appreciated & like what you’re doing, however you spend too much time explaining & elaborating on each chord. You already showing the chords by hand & diagram. You go over them twice or thrice & that’s enough then move on. This will expedite time & most of us will get it alright, otherwise you’re a fantastic teacher with a good heart bro.
If you want to see them play it live do a youtube search for Hotel California Live 1976. The photo that comes up has Don Felder with a double neck SG and Joe Walsh wearing a Dew rag playing a Telecaster. The main part of the intro that I hear is the 12 String SG with a Capo. Thanks you did a great job. I appreciate your hard work.
It's Really hard to find people who put this much thought and effort into their videos i really appreciate the lesson man and i hope you channel grows ;)
Thing about playing chords I never had anyone else to play with and to play a song you have to have structure and rythm . I eventually through the years have set in with bands ect. I started lead probably few years ago and enjoy being able to jam a little. Seems nobody respects the rythm players anymore. Use to be life of party now people expect people to play the toughest things. It's taught me when to come in and hit the notes. Without it it's trash so don't kick it. I came her to see how close I was and I only missed well was in wrong place same octives this made it easier. I hate tab I don't fully understand it.
Wow! That's incredibly generous and patient of you! I've been playing this song for years, both professionally and for my own enjoyment, and you taught me a thing or two! Thanks for the dedication and don't listen to the ridiculous negativity! This was a gift to guitarists everywhere.
So far the only tutorial in RUclips that covers the full song. Oh man! I can’t believe how long this must’ve taken you. I like covering entire songs. Acoustics, electrics, lead, rhythm, and bass. This is gonna be my biggest challenge. Hellova song for an intermediate! Lol
You’ve done a real nice job with this. I’ve watched a fair amount of lessons on this and most are just the solo or their of how they played in the studio (so the capo for the intro etc) and don’t really focus on how to actually play the tune live in a band. SUUUUPER helpful and well done. I’ve not come across your videos before but will be sure to check out more. 🙏
Many thanks from the Land Down Under.Such a comprehensive tutorial.intro fills solo..such detail.Your stamina and patience are to be congradulated.I've been learning this for 3 years and seen most of the other lessons on here but yours has finally helped me put it all together.My female duo partner will be so impressed we can do this live now.Who knows I might even get lucky..ha ha..
Stop apologising Mate - you're doing something wonderful - thank you pal - Genius. I saw many lessons but this brought it together somehow. (I've only done the intro so far). If you can teach me to play it anyone can do it - respect from an old git, it enriched my life.
Thanks for taking the time in putting this epic guitar work together. It's help me a lot and definitely the most comprehensive coverage I have seen so far in RUclips. Keep up the great work. Simply awesome.
I think this is complete lesson I have ever seen on U tube tysm for giving so much details on this everlasting venture's Hotel California which is the actual challenge of every guitarist to perform this beautiful number once again tysm 👍👍❤️
Great lesson! Thank you so much!... but I recommend that you upload a performance version or demo version at the beginning just to show what we should expect from your lesson!! :)
I can't believe I didn't reply to this comment earlier...If that's true that my RUclips guitar lesson video led to a dude getting a chick....well, then I guess my life duty is complete!
Brilliant. You are the man. I really appreciate the time it's taken you to split and tab the individual sections. It's well worth it for us. I hope your fingers have recovered and I'm going to learn this now if it kills me. One very happy novice player. Cheers
Thank you very much for posting this tutorial. As a person with pretty much no textbook knowledge about music I was able to learn through the intro part (first 20 mins) within 3 weeks, about 6-8 hrs practicing in total I believe) The whole lesson is prolly too difficult for me but I can't appreciate your effort more.
first...thanks so much for this video. I've been I have a job and family so it's taken me a while to get through it...I'm now pretty comfortable up until joe walsh starts his solo....I'm wondering though, what would you think is the best way to learn the solo. Part of me wants to memorize the whole thing so I can then just keep working on it with a metronome and and gradually increase the speed so I can play along at the actual speed. I can obviously just try to "master" each section before moving on...not sure what's the best path.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into learning and making this video. This is defiantly the best and most complete tutorial I have ever seen. especially for such a difficult song. I don't think I will ever be able to remember all of the parts but I do thank you for such a in creditable video. you are a great teacher and I have been playing for 50 years now. We did not have You Tube back then so learning songs was much harder. Glen Frey was my first guitar teacher in 1964 he was seventeen. He was a great song writer even then. It is very sad we have lost him now. Thanks again and keep these videos coming. I would like to see you do some country stuff, that is what I play now. Great job Thank you. Terry
Terry Pendleton will definitely be doing some more country stuff...I'll be getting back to making more lessons next week, or the week after. Thanks for watching!
Man What an effort Brother. You will have a PHD in this song after this video thanks to this man. So well set out and put together. What a Chilled and easy learning environment. What a great Job Brother. Dam.
Allright Brian --- Thank you for the song's little sprinkles -- like most people out there I just bothered learning the solos but now I might just give the song a second look. Thank you very much for such awesome lesson -- subbed !
Hello...traslate please my script... Sei bravissimo e anche se lungo questo video e' spiegato molto bene Mi metto al lavoro e credo che mi occupera tutto l'inverno questo tutorial Complimenti
Hi I have to say that this would be the best lesson for h/cal that I have come across. very well explained, have started learning it through your vidio on utube .thanks a lot m k nz
At 1:11.28 you say you never get the release note right. It may be easier when you bend the E string 17 to 19 let your finger also bend the B string up at the same time, then you can release it without string hopping.
Great job and this is very helpful to me. The only thing is the chorus chords you have are not correct. G D F# (Not Em) Bm, then G D Em F#. Thanks for the help and rock on.
when you strum (?) the F#7 chord does not sound as it is in the chart in the upper right. since in the chart the pinky finger is the 1st string in the 9th fret. kind of confusing. maybe i`m wrong idk. AND, i want to make it clear that IN NO WAY i`m complaining or nothing like that in the contrary, i appreciate VERY MUCH all the time you put into this tutorial to help us out.
Thanks so much for the lesson, I can tell you really worked hard on it. Very few people put that much time and effort into their guitar lessons nowadays, and I am glad someone did for this song. I personally loved how in depth you went on this. The only thing I didn't like was your hat. I hated that.
Very helpful chord voicings on the intro. On the F#7 chord, though, it sounds as if you are playing the top note as a B instead of a C#, making it a 4th instead of a 5th of the chord. Am I mistaken?
i really dont understand the guy who ask for shutting up and the tab, the video conveys the concept which a gtp file cant give you, if u want the tab only why not google hotel california gtp ?! BTW thanks Brian Kelly for your tutorial, what you have done is exactly made people understand the song rather than feeding them with tab
