Learn The Famous Intro To "Hotel California" - The Easy Way

Don’t let the idiot Don Henley hear you play this. You will be in deep trouble with the Henley police

Thats exactly what i have looked for.

Thank you so much 💓

I have watched that video of chords and strumming pattern

Thank you so much for this. I appreciate it. This is exactly the way I learned it. I’ve been trying for so long to remember how I learned it but thanks to you. I remember now so thank you so much for this.

Why not teach it in e-minor? I mean if you pick the wrong key anyway in e-minor you can at least play the right chords and passing notes. It is even easier in E.

Hi, I'm a beginner and for the first time, after six months that I started playing, with this video I was finally able to have fun playing, congratulations for the video, ciao

So many variations on this intro, but this is by far the easiest and it sounds great. Thank you for sharing

i still cant understand why the eagles cares so much about people teaching their songs online. it's like.....do they need to make more money because their mansions and olympic size indoor swimming pools aren't big enough? it's in a different key and everything and yea they would take down your vid or fine you. it's just sad.

Thank you !

Fantastic lesson! Thank you James

Hey James - thanks for the great tutorials! Just flagging that the tab at the end is wrong... As least I think it is. I played along to it and noticed that the E chord is the same as the Am chord with the exception of the low E, and the G chord should be 2nd fret of the A string, not the D string right? Can someone more experienced than me confirm this? Thanks all!

I hope that Eagles Internet Police doesn't copyright strike this video 😁

Thank u for the great lesson I can play along to the entire song now because of u

❤this is so cool!!!
Not one I particularly thought I would want to learn but I do now!!!

Great lesson James. This is a great lesson for us players who need more practice on open chord changes and right hand picking timing. Thanks for your great explanations! What metronome bpm were you using?

Please make a video of picking the full 8 beats per chord instead of only 4 beats to fill the pause. It can still be easy because you’re not placing the capo on the 7th fret.

OMG so nice 🎉🙏
