Thank you so much! I'm a super beginner even though I've owned a guitar for a decade now. Every time I tried to learn how to play it, my attempts lasted for a couple of weeks and each time ended up with with a feeling of complete uselessness. But after I watched your video I decided to pick my guitar again. And guess what... After 10 years of failed attempts I can finally play one popular song from start to finish. Now I gained optimism again and think that if I can master "Hotel California" than I can master other songs. Thank you so much! You are a great teacher! Wish you luck!
Actually, you can. Hotel Cali is considered a legendary song to learn, so learning that essentially means you can learn any particular song given you have the time. I know that this reply is later than a stereotypical modern kid to curfew.
I have been trying to pick up this song for almost 5 years and failed. yet you've shown how simple lessons can be. Much appreciated Sir. I'm an intermediate player on and off practice but you've inspired me to take it up regularly.
for a 67 year old novice who recently learnt a few OPEN chords and a couple of easy fav songs was able to follow this lesson ALL the way through (badly and stop and starty) but with some practice I know I could nail it in time. what an awesome teacher. Thank you sooo much :-)
This is *exactly* the Hotel California lesson I was looking for. You’re a great teacher and I really like how well organized your lessons are. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Subscribed.
You teach just like I teach my students and it's so wholesome to see someone like this from a second person perspective. Thank you for existing and posting this. God bless you!
This is out of this world. Not only you showed how to play but also how to sing it.i was able to hum while playing. Im over the moon..thank you so much😎🫡👍👌
+AJ thanks dude! I knew this lesson would be one of the more popular ones, so wanted to make sure it was solid through and through. Hopefully it was. Keep on watching!
Today I sat down from 1200 hrs till 1515 hrs and learnt the intro part of it by repeating the whole intro again and again. I always wanted to learn the intro part of this song but never got a hang of it,though I always played the chords of the song and today I'm so happy to learn the intro part of it ! Though it sounds like the into while I play ,it doesn't sound very clean right now but , I can practice it everyday till every string sounds nice and clear. The best sounding parts of the intro are the finger shifting from A string to E string while playing E, then the hammer-on while playing G and lastly the slide from 2 to 4 and back while paying Em.These sound so awesome ! No words are enough to thank you for this lesson but thanks a lot once again !
Hi David, i really appreciate the way you present your lessons (explanation + side diagrams) and the way you combine the simplest versions possible with the most relevant portions, extracted from more advanced lessons, that we can find it outhere. Those 2, when combined create an amazing result only possible due your extensive know how and patience from your part. Its never a copy, its a creation of yours that you kindly share with us. Thanks very much once more.
As an absolutely beginner, I like your lessons and also the chord sheets. Your lessons are easy to understand, keep on your great job and thanks a lot.
David, this is my dream song and I want to play this for 20 years. I am sure that I can do this, just by watching your video. I love you so much for spending your time on this incredible master piece! Thank you!!
By far the best I have seen on the RUclips and it is very easy (for intermediate level) compared to thousand others. Best part, it sounds close to original. Thank you.
Great video! All of the other tutorials are so confusing, but yours was easy to understand and you included everything I needed to know how to play. Keep it up!
Thank you for your videos! I am a piano composer and band teacher so my employer assumed I knew how to play the guitar and teach a guitar class. I totally did not!!!!😬😳Your videos are easy to follow for all! I just played them and learned along with my students. Thanks!!
Thanks so much for the encouragement... hopefully one day I hit 1M! I started this year at 50,000, and hope to hit 100 K before 2019 begins. Of course, in a sense it’s all just a number not the most important thing, but at the same time it’s nice to know the helpful lessons are finding those who are looking. Thanks again!
This is what I have been searching for for so long. A great-sounding yet simple to play acoustic version with nice riffs to jazz it up. Thanks man, you've made my day !!
I think this is the first time that i actually watch a tutorial video where i neither feel bored nor frustrated. Thumbs up bro, think i’ll finally become a better guitarist with your amazing videos! 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much.. !!!... You have explained the details in such an easy way that even beginners can also understand. You are truely inspirational. God bless you...!!!
Wow! Where have you been hiding? Picked up guitar after 15 years of child rearing - you inspire me. Muscle memory is returning. I’ve subscribed. Many thanks.
I have been looking for videos on Hotel California, and this is the best tutorial video, hands down. Great job breaking down all the intricacies into pieces.
At last... I have been searching for a channel like this in months!!! I really appreciate your effort!! I also went through your website and now I am waiting for Ed sheeren's perfect
You are a great teacher, with very clean, lovely-sounding playing -- flexible, with different versions for different levels we students may have. Good to give us a peek into what's coming down the line if we keep at it. Thank you so much. (nice voice also)
This is the only tutorial i find helpful and finally learned my fav song which wanted to learn like for ages. thank you so much for this video man , really helpful. cheers
Thank you so much for this great teaching and super organized lessons. I spend a lot of time with this song. Thank you so much. Best wishes from Germany.
thanks a lot for that awesome tutorial. finally I can play my favorite song. you made a reasonable compromise between the original and something you can learn easily. keep up the good work!
David I really love the way you teach how to play all those lovely songs and thank you for that. What I’ve still got a problem with is playing and singing at the same time. Does it come with time? Maybe you could do a separate lesson on that? I’m sure people would love it. Thanks a million for all your help and dedication!!
Fantastic ... I have been looking/searching for a tutorial and then this suddenly appeared.. this is excellent you explain it so well. Thank you so much
This dude deserves anything he needs man his lessons are so good and easy to understand

+Suman Kar thank you so much for the kind words... and that's so great to hear. So very glad the lesson was helpful. Hopefully my others are too!!
Its been nine years since you started learning this, have you mastered it now?
The best lesson in RUclips for beginners. I am rewatching it every time I need to remember chords. Thank you

Thanks - I hope it is helpful!
You are the best guitar teacher I've ever seen. I've already learned two songs just by watching your videos. You definitely need more reputation.

wow, I was afraid for years to play this and you taught me to play it in the 2 minutes. good teaching power is an art.
This is the best lesson on Hotel California. It was deleted for some time, but thank God, it is finally here again!
Beginner here. This is the best tutorial for this song. Sounds great and I don't need to do impossible fancy things.
That was the best solution to play the hole song, Hotel California, with single guitar and no capo. Really amazing.
+Farshad Najafi thank you very much Farshad - that's what I was going for, so glad it is appreciated.
This is out of this world. Not only you showed how to play but also how to sing it.i was able to hum while playing. Im over the moon..thank you so much😎🫡👍👌
