[@ruthietoothie68]

One of mine and my husband's favorite songs by the Eagles.

[@LaurenBateman]

It’s a good one!

[@user-mm3qh1yb1j]

Thanks a lot for explain easily .

[@Mikemaes]

Lauren, OMG thank you a million time for this one (and the hundreds of other fantastic tutorials)!!! You have no idea how much you have inspired and helped me the past 3 months. The first two months was like hell... Thinking no way i will be able to play something decent the first year... or maybe ever! But suddenly, hard work really pays off, and i managed to play most of the basic chords, and finally can smoothly play the 'down down up up down up' strumming pattern. So i tried this song and after two days practicing I was able to blew my family and friends away! :D What a feeling! Still a long way to go, let's be realistic haha. Next step for me: learning to sing AND strum 'DDUUDU' at the same time. My brain says no at the moment :P All the best and keep up the amazing stuff you do!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you, cheers!

[@Lorddarthvader1701]

Love this version, yes a bit on the chords but hey that's why I am learning, I really want to do this in completion

[@LaurenBateman]

You can do it! :D

[@AmbroseB1900]

Great lesson! I worked out these chords myself with capo on two a couple of years ago but in the intro play a few more single strings. However I didn't get the E7 so I will try that out. Great tip about the 3rd finger pivot point between Fmaj7/C and C. Using capo on fret 2 also means you can play the outro solo too which is good fun to learn. Thanks for posting. Best wishes Bob (England). 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

Nice work!

[@christophersoren1768]

Great instructions, sounds awesome!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you! 😃

[@waygone6657]

Cool! Thanks. I been self learning for over 50 years. I play a few songs just to amuse myself. Last week I was with some family members and they wanted me to play Hotel California. They weren't interested in Spirit in the Sky or For What It's Worth or Ever of Destruction :b I had to tell them I'd have to skip on that one as I had never tried it. I think I can work this version and satisfy them next time. 🙂

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on!

[@MC-ly4pm]

You got a great potential. I really mean it.

I'm damn spoiled. This is my first time seeing any of your vids. I started with a good one! This is going to be so much fun to play. Thanks for the lesson.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it :D

[@edarmstrong9389]

Say what you will Lauren, about this being the student version. It sure sounds a lot more like the radio version we all heard when we were kids, when you do it. But even old students are able to follow you, with a little work. Thanks again.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-cw6xg3lz8v]

U R master❤

[@TJ-Dives]

You're gonna get a call from Henley about a cease & desist order Lauren. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hang up on him.

[@LaurenBateman]

I hope not!

[@MikeFerguson-yq2jh]

Should be under 1976 fair use act

[@lennyvlaminov9480]

You do realize it's recorded in em, capo on 7th?

[@user-ul4ul6wy1g]

It might be worth mentioning that the dreaded barred F chord shape is a little easier to nail with the capo in place. Good opportunity to practice it. 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mingosutu]

Good tutorial. I don't have a capo, though!!

[@larrybremer4930]

Very good lesson, this is basically how I play it but using the barre chords instead of the capo to get better voicings and to some hammer ons and add some of the picked melody notes. There are at least 5 overlaid guitars in the studio recording after all so there is no way to do this song perfectly solo but playing around the 2nd Fret Bm voicing sounds more like the Eagles version overall than using the 7th Fret voicings Don Felder plays it at (again, when playing it solo). If you have multiple guitars then you absolutely spread the workload and voicings around and this song gets exponentially easier to play. The next step up is to play this song on a 12 string where it really comes alive.

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on. Yeah so many layers on this one.

[@willbyrd5717]

She’s the best

[@LaurenBateman]

Awww very kind of you.

[@andygraham1567]

Just starting out, just found you and just subscribed. This lesson is fantastic! Love your style. Do you take requests for lessons on other older songs for older players?

[@LaurenBateman]

I definitely do! I just won't be able to guarantee a day and time when will I be able to upload a video of it :D But thanks so much for your support!!

[@andygraham1567]

Sylvia's Mother by Dr Hook. The chords are pretty straight forward and would make a great beginners song. However, I cannot figure out the strumming pattern! Thanks!!

[@dianasantiago4101]

Waw,waw,nice...
