Hotel California-Guitar Solo-Lesson

[@gmanorginal420]

Most people on youtube show off and dont actually teach, this guy is definitely not one of them. Thank you for the great lesson

[@CastlesMadeOf...]

This solo never fails to bring a smile to my face - awesome!

[@n-kay9676]

This is as good as it gets for a hotel California solo tutorial. I cannot thank you enough, I never thought I would learn this song this quick and I owe that to you

This is the best lesson for Hotel California......great job......

[@Guitarreference]

Thank you Chan

[@dykeneuk]

After 30 yrs of trying to learn to play that amazing solo, I feel I'm finally making some headway. A few more weeks should do it. I've got all the techniques down and can nearly do it. I love the way you've broken it down into chunks to make it easier. Thank the Lord for KZbin and for your tutorial. This kind of playing is far more musical sounding than modern stuff. Thanks very much!

[@micha1119]

Raymond Donaldson So did you learn it?

[@dmanuelg2]

thank you "Guitarreference". Your idea of breaking down the lick into small parts made this solo an easy one to learn!

[@brianmenke]

Thank you so so much for this. I have been working on it almost every day for four months. Got all the notes down now and just trying to get it dialed in just right. I'll be rocking this at the next family reunion thanks to you! I just can't thank you enough!!

[@ThatOldMan2112]

I almost stopped paying attention just looking at that guitar. What a beauty. Thank you for the lesson....I'm sure I'll get it eventually.

[@ramelak]

Fantastic, thank you sir! I could never have figured our those nuances without your lesson! There's nothing better than the feeling you get when you can play that solo you've always wanted to play - thanks again!

[@bjmccoyacousticsacoustics724]

great video man. I'm reminded by this video that the pentatonic scale saves my life when I don't know where to solo

[@eddiebalio9114]

I'm a SLOW LEARNER and I was SEARCHING many HOTEL CALIFORNIA guitar solo ,and I really like you WAY of TEACHING , I learned a LOT from you and THANK YOU SO MUCH for it...

[@mihailjst]

Awesome! One of the few lessons that teaches what people are actually interested to play! Great job Sir. We need more tutorials like this!

[@treetooone]

Awesome tutorial! I made it to 8:21 before my E-string snapped... I'll be back tomorrow ;)

[@Lanuitdec]

Stony Road XD

[@Blairiamm]

damn that sucks. learning it now since my lessons are every 2 weeks

[@Professionalpatternrecognizer]

I beat you! 17:47! Haha!

[@Blairiamm]

lol slowly learning...getting there :P

[@leondgtv4769]

Lol same for me!

[@HotelCandura]

incredible guitar lesson

[@ismailraja8734]

Thank you sir .. in 1985 we have played .. Karachi .Pakistan .. You are a great teacher

[@timmytasmania1]

Thank you so much for this lesson I've tried so hard to learn this solo by ear and could never get it now I can play it thanks to this lesson! Thank u!

[@autocrow]

The harmony part starting at 20:00 gets me every time. It's fast and weird. I'd be happy to simply fill in the empty spot in my solo with something that sounded OK. Everyone teaches that part different and I can't get it to sound right to me. Thanks for the lesson. Awesome solo. One of the best guitar solos ever. IMO

[@timhadzisavas6573]

Hi sean. just caught your tutorial on hotel california. I have only 1 thing to say. You are the king!!! ive seen a hell of a lot of lessons on this one but yours is definitely the best. thx for sharing your talent with all of us.

[@michaeltitus7821]

Thanks Guitarreference. I have been playing this solo for about forty years and of course play it with my own inflections. As a heavily influenced Gilmore and Clapton strat player I get some of there intonation and styling in everything I play. However I been looking at Felder for years and how he does things with his chops. You captured some of these on point and I have been adding them into my arsenal. Thanks so much for this great solo break down.

[@chrisjames1924]

This is one of those songs that’s easy and very quick to learn in a superficial level but, and it’s a big BUT, to play it properly, with style and panache, it’s pretty difficult to nail. If you can’t bend accurately, you may as well not bother. One by of the best ever, for sure.

[@Guitarreference]

Thank you Chris!

[@osirissalgado6689]

when u break it down like that it just shows how awsome this solo is.Thanks.

[@terryo1532]

Sir, you are amazing - not only do you have it all down you explain it without getting boring - great job! I'll have to listen and mimic for hours but I'll get it thanks to you. Thank You!!!

[@ahmedmoussa5866]

great tutorial! being able to play this solo (even with loads of mistakes) is a dream come true! thanks a lot for this tutorial.

[@garybowker7517]

great teacher GREAT JOB thank you from a beginner that can now play

[@abbasova9292]

Очень просто и понятно без лишних слов и движений по грифу. Великолепно, при том,что соло сложное.

[@kozeey]

Thank you so fricking much man! I’d been tryna learn that solo for a while, and you’re the only one who explained well and fast enough to keep me from getting discouraged

[@Guitarreference]

Thank you Kozeey!

[@yfridihome]

thank you so much for this lesson, it's realy perfect !!!! step for step and slowly - so its wonderful to learn.... greatings from Germany from Fritz near Munich...

[@rentic888]

This song is really really difficult, it appears that they combined several pieces of music which they could have used to create at least 10 songs, its difficult to imagine how they managed to make such a song, hats off to all those who managed to play this effortlessly, you guys are incredibly talented, i can and would rather play this piece of music on the keyboard definately not on a guitar, but that will not produce those kind of vibrations and sound effects...

[@eclec-tico]

The best Hotel California solo lesson on the WEB. Thank you so much for taking the time and posting this wonderful lesson.

[@soldersucker1]

Until Felder demoed it for youtube and the fingerings here aren't correct.

[@Ilidan11]

mis felicitaciones la verdad toca muy bien , solamente aplausos para este señor

[@TheCampnFool]

Well done!! Awesome lesson - thank you for equating each lick with the corresponding chord. Just a very well done lesson!

[@ВладимирЗамыслов-ч8ь]

Great! But it just scream when you see your emotional person! You play with feeling, from the heart!:) I am from Odessa Ukraine, You my respect!!!:)

[@markv.5962]

absolutely great lesson. i always have put off learning this. you make it easy. great idea breaking it up into segments. the outro is a bitch to remember but im almost there thanks to you. thanks much

[@tilko69]

[@jdbroome8125]

Fantastic Tutorial! Thank you for the Informative, precise, & accurate Lesson

[@11chivasrock]

Very beautiful solo work

[@paul_apex_gym]

The best I've come across to this tutorial so far, would be even better if all strings were mentioned though, I had a real problem with lick 11 in particular, 10-7, 10,7 was mentioned but not the strings.

[@Guitarreference]

Sorry Paul thanks for letting me know will keep that in mind for future videos.

[@arnabsengupta19]

May I say that was amazing and you were so patient to explain each steps

[@trafficjamzombie]

This tutorial is great and is really helping me out... but with all these bends, I now have a blister !

[@heathermullins806]

Sounds great... Kind of like trying to paint the Mona Lisa again as well... I play this one and feel this way.

[@vishaltupper]

Cant thank you enough for this... I am still half way through but enjoying learning so much.

[@sgagne57]

I'm now able to play it !! Thank you very much

[@edgrve]

Awesome lesson! I will get this down one of these days...

[@gyhong88]

Thanks for the great teaching. It was so easy to understand.

[@jasongoldfinger9041]

that tobacco burst is off the damn chain I want it!

[@artvillarino2878]

Nice video! very clear and easy to understand even to beginner players

[@hendrixius]

Yeah - at the end of the intro that was just painful to listen to - he consistently did over-bends, pushing the note sharper than it is supposed to be...but still he teaches it well.

[@michaelstevenson877]

Great tutorial note for note and explains perfect.he is just a great teacher with knowledge as well very well done.must check his other videos

[@LawrenceCollins]

very cool and very well done; thanks!

[@jimwynne6376]

Finally nailed it! BIG THANKS Sean!!!!!

[@ojibwayne2896]

From 2:10, I want to learn this part, just to be able to make those "solo facial expressions"! (You'll see!) Also, this is the best tutorial! *Thank you so damn much for this!* 🙋👍

[@kikatkid2428]

I was loosing my sanity till I found this video.still half crazy though,trying to get the bends. I use supper glues on my finger tips. Skin is gone.blood everywhere. 😂

[@dt28469]

Phase 1: Fiigure out in your head the individual notes/durations/method played, by listening to it repeadedly Phase 2: Figure out what combination of strings/frets and which fingers work best to replicate those notes phase 3: Begin repeating that pattern until you start to attain melodic fluidity phase 4: Play fluidly, pick up on errors phase 5: Refine, repeat

[@harveygitarista1600]

Thank you so much for this lesson sir! Lots of love from Philippines.

[@cheveulubleu1396]

thx for this ... your lesson is just perfect, nice sharing.

[@soggy_lp8174]

wow. Its so easy to learn this solo with your vidoe. Thanks!

[@rafaelvelasco2734]

Excelente explicación amigo, muchas gracias

[@manoskf]

Man ... my fingers are pretty messed up from all those bends but it's an awesome feeling ... I am really impresed of the feeling of this solo.I was not awere how technical it is. Thank you!

[@reyhan__rizvi__78]

Really very amazing lesson

[@tomjugjali8088]

at first when u play string i thought u r cheating us but really u r amazing ..

[@tomaaron6187]

Top notch, and thanks. I like the pace and clear explanation. I really like the chord being shown before notes.Just a tip to beginners. No need to copy note per note. I only like about 2/3rds of the original solo. I improvise..ldo the same if playing on your own as it flows better. I also strum a quick chord during the now and then.

[@jeorgesegismundo181]

That was a verry good tutorial so clear and easy to learn

[@darken3150]

Really nice bends, sounds just like the original

[@MarceloZanolla10]

Thank you very much. Finally, I think I will be able to start to learn this solo in small parts. It make all the difference for me as a beginner guitar player. Greetings from Brazil,

[@kelseyhansenn]

Hey Guitarreference dude! THANK YOU so much for taking the time and posting this lesson. This is one classic solo that I always wanted to learn and thanks to you, I've finally done it! The way you broke down and explained each lick makes it much less intimidating to tackle. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and help those of us who absolutely appreciate what you do for us!

[@scottharrison2839]

Great teaching, very effective, thanks!

[@Professionalpatternrecognizer]

I drew blood practicing this solo. So I duck taped my fingers and kept playing. I WILL NAIL THIS!

[@dylannoonan260]

Nioce

[@Peteiredale8812]

how long have you been playing ?

[@Professionalpatternrecognizer]

+Knawledge & Bookshelves Seriously, for about a year. I had just picked up the axe again when I decided to learn this one, so my calluses weren't super thick yet.

[@Professionalpatternrecognizer]

+Knawledge & Bookshelves it's all the full step bends that killed me. Lol

[@Peteiredale8812]

Jason Stroppa me too haha I remember I started November of last year, and I'm actually nailing the bends it's just I keep hitting the wrong notes & its screwing me up haha it's hard to play perfectly

[@BaronVonRichtofen]

Awesome job! Am learning this. Now about halfway throught. Have liked this and your facebook page will be sharing. Keep up the good work and thanks!!!

[@sameshbajracharya3391]

Why! What happened?

[@GGtba1646]

Fantastic lesson. Will start having a crack at this one tonight

[@SaxJockey]

Thank you sir, this lesson is very helpful indeed, the numbering of each lick has helped me keep track of the learning process. I have referred to other lessons previously, but notice that you have a few additional (crucial) flourishes/grace notes/stops that will help me get closer to the flavour recording. Lick #8 is a beauty (sort of Johnny Be Good style), but getting up to speed on it is another matter 😨. Practice...practice....practice 😂.

[@ВладимирЗамыслов-ч8ь]

My fingers without calluses, or rather you can't see them, and each note sounds, tired do not feel, on the contrary, get pleasure from the game. Czardas Monti play quickly in a manner and beautiful!:)

[@ien6ctyxl724]

Cảm ơn anh bạn nhiều, tôi đã đăng ký kênh của bạn . Tôi là 1 ngừơi cuồng mê âm nhạc, đặc biệt là Trống và Guitar, tôi nhìn thấy trên youtube cũng có người dạy như anh, cũng chậm rãi, từng nốt 1 và rất nhiệt tình . Nhưng tôi thấy anh, có 1 điểm khác biệt đó là chia thành từng câu nhỏ một để tập, nên dể nhớ và khỏi bị lộn câu và nốt . Xin hỏi anh ở đất nưởc nào ? Rất hân hạnh được làm quen với anh ... Một lần nữa xin cảm ơn anh đã tận tâm chia sẻ bài học . Chúc anh và gia đình mạnh khoẻ bình an........❤❤❤
