You’re the bomb dude I like how you make it easy and you break it down nice and slow. I was able to learn this lead both parts in a matter just a couple of hours because of the way you teach it. That’s really awesome.

[@thavong6911]

U r the best details and hand on easy to understand and practice no one better than u

[@petebratherton4546]

Best tutor yet for hotel California

[@stringbean3442]

I saw someone's comment saying you talk too much.. To thay guy I say get the record listen to it and figure it out yourself.. To me I appreciate that you explain the how and why because I can play the solo but the true musical genius are exactly these little nuances that you explain so carefully.. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.. This song meens so much to me and the love care you show in your tutorial is amazing. You rock man 🎸🎸

[@albertolombardimusic]

I appreciate this comment much. I grew up with teachers that talked, took their time, and got to the heart of things. If you want to learn you listen, if you don't listen you don't learn.

[@MegaDrew1984]

Excellent playing and technique. Worthy of a don henly lawsuit

[@albertolombardimusic]

That’s genuinely funny

[@caymandiver680]

I have not seen, on KZbin, a explanation of Hotel California even equal to Alberto's. Each lesson he has crafted is full of theory related to the harmony. Walsh and Felder might be surprised at how good this is. I speculate.

[@albertolombardimusic]

I would love to have their confirmation of a couple of “theories” 😂

[@atomicman6094]

Hey man, you're unbelievably cool! 👍

[@giovannipiliarvu4678]

Complimenti. Chiarissimo, facile da seguire e usare le note invece del numero dei tasti e' perfetto per avere piu' chiaro cosa sta succedendo armonicamente.

[@albertolombardimusic]

Grazie Giovanni

[@rohitrathi4552]

You are an amazing teacher! You are taking so much care to explain nuances and not wasting time on basic nonsense. Love it. 🙏

[@fingersmagoo9344]

First part in the book, now for the second. Dude, that double bound ax is the bomb.

[@artcomlotus3091]

So good!

[@michaelstevenson877]

Great tutorial again. explains it very well and class guitarist that all you guitar players know that there are many but Alberto's videos you can pick up tips and he has in depth to his approach and as I said yesterday this is my second video to watch I have learned from great teachers on you tube and we can learn more this man shows his class well done big fan here

[@tomk1tl39]

Outstanding job on this song 👍....been wanting to learn to play this but was really 'intimidated' by it....I think with time and your showing this to us, I think I will be able to make it work.👍

[@albertolombardimusic]

Definitely go for it!

[@handyjoe2927]

Yes !! I'm an intermediate player and on this tutorial I can follow you fairly well. Could I ask that you show the fingering closer and more parallel to the camera ?

[@johnniepage3844]

Nicely done!!! Great channel! Keep it going!!!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Cheers thank you 🙏

[@albertolombardimusic]

Sure man 💛🎸

[@adalbertodelgado2770]

GREAT VIDEO ALBERTO. I'VE BEEN PLAYING AGAIN AFTER MANY YEARS AWAY FROM IT FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I'VE BEEN INTIMITED BY THIS SONG. BUT NOW THAT I'M INTO IT ITS NOT THAT BAD.

[@albertolombardimusic]

Go for it!

[@jonstephens4498]

Great job! Wished you would have taught how joe came in on the live 77 version, it took me such a long time to figure that out.

[@albertolombardimusic]

So many versions, but I still love the studio one the most

[@Wild_Kat_]

Thanks for playing it on a Squier. Tone is in the fingers! 😊

[@albertolombardimusic]

It is!

[@johnharman9747]

Tabs would be very helpful. Thank you.

Ciao Alberto!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Flawless takes? Ahahahahha it takes forever to edit and make everything right. Yes it’s hard to slow down, because you go back from muscle memory to being conscious of every movement, and that’s 2 different mechanisms. Thank you for your contribution Mark, I appreciate it!

[@tamdsms]

@@albertolombardimusic My Pleasure! I've; "subscribed" since I don't know when; rang the bell, & "Liked" these 2 of "?" TUTORIALs," among others. You must have a fantastic video editor, I've never seen any bumps in the road on your videos!!!!! Keep that person on staff & give them a raise (Ha-Ha-Ha!)!!! Yeah, muscle memory. I'm glad I'm not the only one who may stumble with their fingers, although I have some doubts. I only recall 2-3 in all the "Monday LIVE" episodes, & maybe that was just me with some mental flatulence. Kind regards! 😏 ! P.S.: Nice haircut !

[@oneeyemonster3262]

Not if you play over tone center ( shift with the chords) if you SING ( which both lead guitar players do) Playing lead is sort of an extension of singing..You remember certain word start on each chord change. it's just natural that you'll remember certain note starts each phrasing over each chord change. It's just simple call and answer phrasing. You get used to it...becuase as singers ..you also have to memorize words to hundreds of different songs. As singers...you basically have to REST...to catch your breathe. It carries over to your lead..becuase you not rushing through notes. REST, play whole notes or half notes.instead of playing all 8th or 16th notes.

[@tamdsms]

@@oneeyemonster3262 That makes complete sense. Thanks! Kind regards!

[@chefemax8148]

This tutorial is awesome, but it doesn't seem to line up with the tab I purchased from your site. Am I missing a page? I have a 2 page Felder and 2 page Walsh. The first line of Walsh tab doesn't match with part 2 of your video.

[@albertolombardimusic]

Thats seems strange but I will check to be safe and get back to you via email.

[@jamiewilson6900]

Learnt all the way up to here but having a real hard time with the bend where you roll the finger onto the b string. My finger just keeps slipping off the string 😅

[@albertolombardimusic]

Jamie I hear you, it’s a tricky one

[@bedrrebd4700]

Does ot have a name ??

[@kaplan909]

10:27 hey, when I try to bend here the B string goes above my nails... what can I do to fix that? cant find a way to manouver

[@albertolombardimusic]

Yes it's hard, just find the right finger angle, patiently

[@I_Love_Avenged_Sevenfold]

Is this in standard tuning

[@md4645]

Grande Alberto. Mi dispiace solo per il poverino che ha messo pollice verso ....
