My absolute favorite acoustic version of Hotel California. I literally got goosebumps at 3:17 and the hairs on my arms stood up starting at about 3:21. Love David's passion. He really gets into it. Excellent job!
A super guitarist 'David Wayne'. I found him at Downtown Disney night in Anaheim, CA and enjoyed his playing guitar very much. David is number one guitarist on the world
The mark of a master is making the skill look easy enough that you think you can do it. If I didn't know about guitar playing myself, I'd think I could. Masterful performance of a masterpiece. Bravo.
Beautiful. True talent. Take it from someone who has wanted to play the guitar all my life, but the pain on the finger tips was too much. Keep up the good work. I am a fan for life.
Im sitting here trying to figure out why over 300 people would thumbs down this...it's the pick, right? I think it deserves a thumbs up, regardless. Great job!
48 years and I don't play that good. Now I'm depressed. I applaud his gift and love for playing! What every dedicated guitar player knows is a secret. The relationship with the guitar is most important to the guitar player. It is not just an instrument, but a friend and companion- you become partners. There are many guitar players who just play it without respect- with no attachment.
Your comment re the relationship with the instrument is just so true. It's pure joy listening (and watching!) to any soloist - no matter what instrument they're playing - and seeing they're at one. They belong together. Awesome!
Hey Brother, I'm 66 years and I never played that well. Too late for me because of arthritic fingers but you can keep improving if you have the commitment. Yes, David is best buds with his guitar and that's what it takes. Keep at it, you'll be glad you did.
I'm the guy who uploaded this video... The reason the video looks out of sync is because I uploaded it using audio directly from David Wayne's "So Cal" CD... By the way, if you'd like to download an even higher quality (MP3 version) of David Wayne's "Hotel California", it can be downloaded on iTunes and Amazon (you can find the links at the bottom of this video's description).
***** thanks for letting everyone know, but if you're uploading music especially something this beautiful it needs to be in good quality and the audio should be in sync with the video. anything else would be taking away from the amazing performance of these artists.
albino0wl Actually yes... The single of David Wayne's "Hotel California" can be downloaded in a high quality / high bit rate MP3 format that sounds much better than the audio here on RUclips... However, if you want even higher quality audio, I would recommend buying the CD.
He plays Downtown Disney many weekends. Just saw him tonight. He's a great guy to talk to, very friendly and knows his stuff. I purchased his CDs as well.
I played with Dave for over a decade in total. You all should hear him on an electric, although I must admit his acoustic is superb and always was. I love you Davey.
Geez, David, I couldn't imagine becoming an ardent fan of yours the moment I witness your amazing skills, but, sir, you accomplished just that. Can't wait to hear more.
I first experienced David as a DUO at the OC Market Place in Costa Mesa, ca…more than 10 years ago.. it wasn't until he went SOLO that his hidden talent was exposed and became OBVIOUS he is beyond talented…this is a great audio in tribute to a truly incredible Artist …thank you "Joe" for putting this out there….Love you David and of course "JOE" - Marsi w ACE EVENTS…FYI - This was recorded "LIVE" no pre-recorded at all…
A great example of combining guitar virtuosity with a little digital jiggery-pokery to make the whole performance perfection. And they were enjoying it too. Magical.
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air Up a head in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be heaven and this could be hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the hotel California Any time of year Any time of year You can find it here Her mind is tiffany twisted She got the Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the captain Please bring me my wine he said We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just hear them say Welcome to the hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovley place Such a lovely face Living it up at the hotel California What a nice surprise What a nice surprise Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling The pink champagne on ice And she said We are all just prisoners here Of our own device And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Relax said the night man We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like But you can never leave
I thought I had seen all kinds of guitar's "monsters"... but I was wrong, I had not seen this one! I would give one of my hands to be able to play like this guy...
It's a shame... I wish everyone actually understood musical talent. The people in the building didn't give them one piece of attention even though that was magnificent guitar playing
Came back for a second listen. Can't deny the virtuosity but again I prefer the simplicity (if you can say that) of the original. I can appreciate this but I can listen to the original all day.
something looks wrong between the video and the music - i guess after playing guitar for 45 years you can pick thiings out like that at 3:48 he plays the same notes 3 times in a row but his fingers move after only playing 2 times , i am sure if i waste more time looking i can find more - but i still like the music - it is well done
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. It's clear that the music and the video are not from the same gig. They've probably recorded audio first at the studio (my guess based on quality and panning of the sound) and this is just a video from their gig at some mall, or something like that.
At the beginning of the video is a disclaimer that said the original audio was very low due to cheap camera. The OP over dub the same guy, same music, just from his album.
I met David and his wife years ago in Anaheim. I purchased "Acoustic Rendezvous" and "Sunset". Love them the music. I thought I was listening to Strunz & Farah, but then I realized it was far better.
Incredible! Two guys having fun and putting on a show. I always enjoy personal interpretation of popular music and so much talent can be found here on youtube. Thanks for the posting.
I have good speakers and I could never get high quality sound from You tube until this piece was played; I thought my speakers were damaged! Music played on RUclips is normally very low grade sound, even when a piece of music is described as high quality (a lie), but some how this piece of music is true high quality.
I have played guitar for 37 years and when I hear this guy I feel like I can only play Mary Had a Little Lamb. Excellent!
😂😂😂 i know the feeling
I have watch this about 500 times...Is this guy famous yet ? ... He should be by now.
My absolute favorite acoustic version of Hotel California. I literally got goosebumps at 3:17 and the hairs on my arms stood up starting at about 3:21.
Love David's passion. He really gets into it. Excellent job!
😅
MY GOOSE BUMPS START AT 1:53 HOW HE SWITCHES DO LOWER in guitar not easy in Oud possibble
There is nothing one can say that could come even close to describing the perfection of David Wayne's guitarwork.
Very True Mate. I thing Oxford dictionary should replace the meaning of perfect as 'David Wayne'
A super guitarist 'David Wayne'. I found him at Downtown Disney night in Anaheim, CA and enjoyed his playing guitar very much. David is number one guitarist on the world
Perfect!!! Standing ovation for this excellent performance of David Wayne! Thanks for showing your gifted talent to us!
BEST cover I've ever heard, by far!!!!! the improvisation was most excellent
Look for Lucas Imbiriba
Outstanding!!!
A cup of coffee and watching these guys playing live, dang, I could spend the WHOLE DAY doing that!!!
One of my favorite songs.
Hey, who is still watching this masterpiece in 2024? Me and ... ?
Me ..😂
Me too!
Me... I will always come back to this masterpiece!
Always mate.
Me. 😂😂😂😂

Wow. One of the best guitar piece for this classic song "Hotel California". You got some out of this world skills David. Play on!

INCROYABLE "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" VERSION "FLAMENCO" .Bravo Mr DAVID WAYNE !!

He plays Downtown Disney many weekends. Just saw him tonight. He's a great guy to talk to, very friendly and knows his stuff. I purchased his CDs as well.
best cover i`ve seen in my life
I played with Dave for over a decade in total. You all should hear him on an electric, although I must admit his acoustic is superb and always was. I love you Davey.
É uma música realmente linda, e que fica mais bonita nas mãos de quem entende. Parabéns David.
Geez, David, I couldn't imagine becoming an ardent fan of yours the moment I witness your amazing skills, but, sir, you accomplished just that. Can't wait to hear more.
awesome, one of the best acoustic guitar player I have seen. Thanks so much
Un chitarrista "da strada" che riesce a rapirti con una esecuzione, a mio avviso, migliore dell'originale. Sei un grande!!!
Perfeito arranjo, e com esse hit tão famoso somente com dois instrumentos ficou fantástico. Bravo!
This dude is a monster
I just saw this guy at Downtown Disney. I GUARANTEE that he can do this live and in one take. In fact, it was BETTER.
Mandolin-like style playing of the guitar so effective. Great arrangement and playing.
Genial, excelente tema, y excelente interpretación!
I first experienced David as a DUO at the OC Market Place in Costa Mesa, ca…more than 10 years ago.. it wasn't until he went SOLO that his hidden talent was exposed and became OBVIOUS he is beyond talented…this is a great audio in tribute to a truly incredible Artist …thank you "Joe" for putting this out there….Love you David and of course "JOE" - Marsi w ACE EVENTS…FYI - This was recorded "LIVE" no pre-recorded at all…

A great example of combining guitar virtuosity with a little digital jiggery-pokery to make the whole performance perfection. And they were enjoying it too. Magical.
best acoustic version of hotel california
DANIEL LI classic
David Wayne - another virtuoso . Amazing play of Hotel California. Sure Don Felder and Joe Walsh would be proud to hear. Thanks for sharing.
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up a head in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven and this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year
You can find it here
Her mind is tiffany twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the captain
Please bring me my wine he said
We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just hear them say
Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovley place
Such a lovely face
Living it up at the hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
Nhi Phạm all time great songs ever written, produced, performed & created!
Hands down the best guitarist I have ever seen...
I thought I had seen all kinds of guitar's "monsters"... but I was wrong, I had not seen this one! I would give one of my hands to be able to play like this guy...
+Emilio Guillermo funny .
+Emilio Guillermo what about giving a foot...
Huge fan here!!!!! Gotta smile on my face and tears in my eyes. Wow! Amazing talent!!
Hay, Mình rất đam mê. Những bản nhạc này. Bất hủ đi sâu vào tim
Hard to beleive that this is live. It is very very well done
3:17 The thing makes you different from other videos and it makes me just like to hear this.
3:58 Take me to another world :v
THAT is some great guitar player! I've heard SO many guitarists mangle this song, but this guy does it beautifully!
John Ritter KILLS IT on guitar in this !!!
he just delivers you a bomb of happyness and he's a great maestro ..... incredibile , braviiiiiiiiii
classical guitar Joy to my ears :)
Ff
Incredible...
Still incredible to me three years later
Piękne wykonanie - cudowna melodia .Dziękuję, pozdrawiam
Elzbieta Zycinska . Grupo Indio flores rojas
that....was da best guitar solo i ve ever seen...including evrything sungha jung comes up with o.O
It's a shame... I wish everyone actually understood musical talent. The people in the building didn't give them one piece of attention even though that was magnificent guitar playing
one guy on the corner of the window did
To be fair, the musicians have their backs to them.
Doubtful they could even be heard (maybe barely) through the window.
nothing beats a Big Mac, not even genius guitar playing
I think the 1.5 million views makes up for it.
Absolutely fantastic. Out of this world. What a true talent
Terrific!!!
Wow!! Mind = Blown. I'm still trying pick my jaw up off the floor after the last 2 mins of this video. You, sir, are a true artist!
complete skill
Those highs are crisp and razor sharp, love it
How can this video get 318 dislikes? It's wonderful!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate a great artist who has truly mastered his instrument. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO.....!!!!
素晴らしい
Came back for a second listen. Can't deny the virtuosity but again I prefer the simplicity (if you can say that) of the original. I can appreciate this but I can listen to the original all day.
nice quality, funny how there are some people in the background eating haha
Perfectionizm!
amazing,,make me happy
I Jasmin AP g
What a talented artist. I really enjoy his music.
The best
Very very like 👍
Speechless!!!!!Damn how could a person play like this!!!i wish I could!!!
something looks wrong between the video and the music - i guess after playing guitar for 45 years you can pick thiings out like that at 3:48 he plays the same notes 3 times in a row but his fingers move after only playing 2 times , i am sure if i waste more time looking i can find more - but i still like the music - it is well done

the guy was not really playing it -it was a recording of the original artist - i found out after i did my first post
At the beginning of the video is a disclaimer that said the original audio was very low due to cheap camera. The OP over dub the same guy, same music, just from his album.
Also from 2:08 , you can see that he's clearly bending the notes, but no bends in the audio.
stop doubting and just enjoy the wave
at a tremendous level. I love it! Please like it sometimes so I can listen to it again and again!
......and to think that there are people who go around saying that Justin Bieber is the God of music.
You are mistaken. Those who say that beiber is the god of music are not people. They are lesser folk.
I met David and his wife years ago in Anaheim. I purchased "Acoustic Rendezvous" and "Sunset". Love them the music. I thought I was listening to Strunz & Farah, but then I realized it was far better.
the Michael Jordan of acoustic guitar
Incredible... Left me speechless...

He has skills.. That was hands down the most awesome coolest amazing cover of that song.. Great job
I have good speakers and I could never get high quality sound from You tube until this piece was played; I thought my speakers were damaged! Music played on RUclips is normally very low grade sound, even when a piece of music is described as high quality (a lie), but some how this piece of music is true high quality.
Wow,, the most amazing version of this song have I've heard,,, ,,
Best cover version of Hotel California in terms of both performance & audio quality.
That is the best acoustic guitar I have ever heard, - and I'm an (amateur) guitarist.
