First Time Hearing "Eagles" - Hotel California (Live 1977)

[@hilarytoffler5636]

Thank you for taking the chance to enjoy something outside of your comfort zone. I was there, at that concert, I'm 70 yrs old now and I believe it is one of the best concerts ever. I won't lie, it did smell a whole lot like weed, lol.... We were the originals.... 420 forever!

I don't know if it's called a duet. I hear a lot of people referring to it as harmony. I am playing that ending on my guitar every day, just one part of the harmony. I am not good at all, but I am still playing it because I love this song so much. I never get tired of hearing it or playing it.

These early bands created rock and roll. Every note, every riff, every harmony, every lyrical theme you hear was copied again and again through the 70s, 80', 90's.......

Yes, the double neck guitar allows a player to switch sounds, like moving from a six string, to a twelve string without changing instruments.

Thanks to today's reaction videos, they live on!

The Double Guitar is two setups. One neck is a twelve string guitar. The other a 6 string. Both are tuned in standard guitar tuning. You can tell by the posts on the headstocks.

This is arguably their most well known song EVER! I’ve been an Eagles fan since the late 70s and for Christmas this year my wonderful wife got me a signed copy of the album with a silver record of Glenn Frey on the front. They’re a band I’ve never been able to see. On guitar you have Don Felder and the guy in the bandanna is Joe Walsh who in 1980 ran for president. This band has over 50 years of massive hits! If you wanna delve deeper into the genius of the Eagles check out some live stuff from their Hell Freezes Over tour or their show in Melbourne Australia. The double guitar you’re asking about, one guitar is a normal 6 string guitar and the other is a 12 string which adds multiple strings of the same note. You can’t go wrong with anything they do young buck.
