You’re the only KZbin video I could find that breaks down the proper picking pattern … which makes a huge difference. Thank you !!

[@craigfox4886]

Not blowing smoke - your videos are why I can play so much better now. Your breakdowns are great and really clicked for me. Night and day difference. Thanks for the great content! 👍

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Thanks Craig!

[@ricktan4635]

I enjoy your format. Makes it easier for me to understand.

[@thomasdequincey5811]

You're brave playing The Eagles on KZbin. Edit: It's a good song, but my favourite bit is Joe Walsh's guitar solo. It rips!

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

My strike just lifted. I’m taking a calculated risk

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Why is Hotel California viral video gold?

[@Gratefulman1965]

What your tuning on that twelve string prior to capo at 7th fret? Sounds great by the way!

[@BenDuckmanton-qe5ey]

It's e standard mate

[@dalo216]

Spot on. I've downloaded it this time.

[@TheCallum1232]

I'm a bit different but get it to sound good for me, capo on 7th. Em, B7, D, A, C, G, Am, B7 Just to me this sounds the best (6 string)

[@windrider65]

That's one good sounding Breedlove.

[@user-hx2iq5jr5q]

I am loving your vids. Definitely filling in some of the holes I have skipped over / simplified when playing along to some of my favorite tunes of all time. I would love it if you could breakdown Reminiscing by the Little River Band. There are sections in that song that I just can't get close to. Another song I love but struggle with is Sarah Smiles by Hall and Oats. Would love to see your take on that one too.

[@odelljl]

I appreciate your attention to detail here and will definitely upgrade my HC game. Also your bravery - downloaded this one because I am not sure how long it will survive :>

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

I have a strike to give so I’m not worried.

[@manisuguna]

Thank you for the lesson. Could you please post the strumming pattern as I am having hard time following it? Thanks!

[@mustaccio315]

Great video format! May you teach us how to play Slide with open tunings?

[@Geetargramps]

The Breedlove was the first 12String I played

[@johnl798]

I do hope this stays up .

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Fingers crossed

[@noahabraham2180]

the 12 string sounds so nice

[@UTAH100]

Yeah but they are tricky to play and a nightmare to keep in tune. Some songs, like this though just sound right.

[@reeyntibbs8226]

Is capo a must ?

[@googleman4524]

Yes

[@Jordan-slmo]

How would I play this without a capo?

[@jakedeangaming1072]

Copy the same steps without the capo

[@soaringeagle5227]

Hi Anthony, what’s the strumming pattern you’re playing?

[@Fiftyfifth661]

Read the tabs

[@soaringeagle5227]

@@Fiftyfifth661the picking pattern is in the tabs not the strumming

[@jackhaugh]

What I don’t understand is how putting a capo on the 7th fret made it easier to sing if it was out of Henlys vocal range. Wouldn’t that increase the tonality by 7 semitones making it even higher?

[@Teleman73]

Same here, Felder does it in Am for that reason.

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

No because he goes down an octave. Think of the open position as the same as if there was a capo on the 12th fret. The you move it down 5 frets. Then Felder moves it down 7 frets.

[@bvelay4431024]

Increasing the tonality by 7/12 and decreasing it by 5/12 gives the same note just an octave appart

[@tomlynch4232]

Don henley is gonna be mad. They'll yank it

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Maybe

[@UTAH100]

Wow- an accurate lesson. So many fudge up this tune. Does he stay with the Capo at 7 after the intro., then mostly strumming chords? There are different versions of the tune online, one is remastered and it's hard to get the sound down, be it Capo 7, or Capo 2- still not sounding just right. I assume this lesson applies to the original song. Don Felder teaches it in Am, but admits, it was done in Bm. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXyshWupZqanmNk His lesson and stories are great but he does not include any tab so it's Anthony for the win!

[@Nazman06]

Just dont hit the B note on the B7

[@antongromek4180]

Sorry, but something sounds terrible... what is that???

[@rockybato67]

😂😂😂 Hunted Hotel

[@markkulahti1877]

I heard, the quitar seems to be in tune...a little bit Hard sound cause of metal strings. Tell me what disturb you?

[@KKGIII]

It sounds like the studio version to me

[@jest_saiyan1315]

Tbh it's probably that "double note" you're hearing. Idk if you noticed, but it is a 12 string guitar. Not a traditional 6 string. That could possibly be what you're hearing

[@sirkazm]

ew! no!!!

[@DrayMartinez]

What are u talking about it sounds perfect?
