Love your videos man. In my late 40s and never played an instrument in my life. Picked up guitar about a year ago and have gone through the various channels and learnings, but your style and pace just work so well for me. Really appreciate your dedication to helping others like myself learn and progress on guitar. Keep it up!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are most welcome and your kind comment made my day. You keep on picking and we will keep on posting!

[@markpeters7772]

I’m 68 and have been playing for around 30 years started as a project with my 14 year old son. I love how you dissect a song and simplify it. As we get older our hands don’t always move as smoothly as you used to. Thanks for your channel

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are most welcome! Happy to help!

[@johnkelly2382]

Hi Kevin, I just came across your Hotel California lesson and I really enjoyed it. I consider myself a senior (meaning 70 years old) beginner/intermediate. I have subscribed to your channel because I like your choices of music, and also your teaching style. You have named your channel perfectly. I look forward to checking out many more of your lessons. Cheers.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you , Thank you, you are the first teacher I have found that makes the intro look easy for those of us who are old enough to have bought the album when it first came out.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

lol. You are most welcome!

[@bobbyhook6382]

What a great teacher..as a beginner you make it simple and make you me want to pick up the guitar daily..thank you

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Great! Just a little each day goes a long way!!

[@TexasTaz23]

I TOTALLY agree!

[@user-hv6uw7yy2e]

That was a great lesson. Slow - easy - clear. I’m 72 and started learning 10 years ago. Still learning how much I don’t know. That was so fun. Can’t wait to play it. Thank you

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@69jomen]

On of the best songs ever written.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Totally agree. From one of the best American bands ever

[@furyiiiplate]

Thank God for the internet. Every single musician should see what lessons should be like. That "FM Radio Voice" doesn't hurt ears either.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks!

[@HalfAssHomestead]

As a seasoned guitarist, I must say, I think you are giving some of the best beginner lessons I have ever watched. I'm a new sub just so that I can play along with you. You are doing a great justice to the music world. Thank you.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You just made my day! You are most welcome and thank you for your support and encouragement!

Thanks Michael!

[@robertdownie879]

Thank you I am 70 years old and love this song I am still a beginner and have been trying to play this song for years I am now going to practice with this method.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are most welcome! Enjoy and thanks for watching!

[@carolynh8866]

Loved this video. I've just started learning a couple of months ago, at 63yo, and this was the easiest lesson to follow. You Made it seem simple and it was. Especially the picking pattern. I'm still struggling with Barre chords. So the alternative F worked out great. This is the first song I've managed to play the whole way through, as so far I've just been learning chords and progressions.. and just been putting little bits together.. I'll be checking out some of your other videos now. Thankyou

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

So happy to help! Thanks for watching and definitely stick with it!

[@rwnljn]

I struggle with bar cords, but there are alternatives. Don’t give up. Just play a different F cord.

[@mandyb0725]

Honestly I never got barre chords … I’ve been playing 2 years and can play all my favorite songs and all the classics with sans barre chords :)

[@heyjoe56]

Great lessons, you really explain things in a simple way. I watch even when I've not got my guitar with me😁 I'm just an old strummer

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

That’s great!

[@blueser100]

A classic. Such a fun lesson thank you. 😊

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome! Just updated the lesson in the members area for both song versions and updated the tab :)

[@mikelara8434]

Nice lesson,Played this one live many times. Been playing this song for 40 years,Worked in a little parts of the solos for one guitar.But sounds great with 2.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Oh yes! Great song to play with a buddy! Thanks for watching!

An amazing song I love it.

[@WiMac63]

Great tutorial. I learnt this song in my own way. Found your video, and wow. You’re playing it the same way. Although the Don Felder solo, is a bit hard. I just strum all the chords again, to the outro.

[@mattsmith2051]

I’ve been trying to self teach over last two years and my motivations become stagnant at times. I only discovered your lessons the other day and I must say they are the best selection of songs I’ve come across! It’s got me very enthused again and I’m loving the content and simplicity that just gets you putting music together 👍🏻 Thank you and have a great Christmas, keep them coming

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you!

[@hakanariturk7100]

@@Relaxandlearnguitar now watching again and taking notes, i guess the easy F chord tab on the screen is wrong! or am i wrong?

Fun beginner song. Sounds great. My bar chord F is a bit weak, so I'll go look to see if you have a lesson on bar chords which I think I remember seeing somewhere.

I’ve been playing for a year…watching a ton of your work…but this is the first time I was able to put a song completely together through the duration! Maybe I can leave kindergarten…….?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Excellent! You are just getting started my friend !

[@josefschubert9401]

Jim you are a great teacher. Lo mejor de KZbin.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Wow, thanks!

[@dbreardon]

That was great! Thanks. I'm a new player at 62 yo and I've only been playing for 9 months and this level fits well into my wheelhouse so to speak. But what I find missing in all of this is the BPM in 4/4 as well as how many repeating verse/chorus sections there are when you play the actual song. Nonetheless, this is a great primer for playing this song! Thanks again.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you for watching! Happy to help! The BPM is 74. Or you can play it at 148. It is in 4/4 time. I would listen to the song for the number of verses/choruses. I do provide tablature and lyrics for this and all of my song lessons inside our member’s area.
