HOTEL CALIFORNIA by The Eagles: Easy Guitar Tutorial for Beginners

If the guitar is your first instrument and you don't know ANYTHING about music, you can call this channel your new classroom. All of the lessons in this channel are made with beginners and confident beginners in mind. The goal here is to get you from absolute beginner to confident and independent at an intermediate level.
Today we are learning how to play Hotel California by The Eagles on our guitars. If you are a beginner or if you have avoided barre chords, this video will help you play the song and sound good!
If you'd like to play along with the recording, you'll need a capo on the 2nd fret ;)

    Я играю на гитаре и пою с 14 лет своих. Сейчас мне 65 лет. Эту композицию разучил ещё в 1978 году. Но с удовольствием посмотрел видеоурок и подписался на ваш блог. "Век живи и век учись",- у нас говорят. Счастья, здоровья, успехов в творчестве и денег вам автор!

    My first comment, to support your great channel ;-) I am a ukulele beginner and thought this guitar-based video might not be relevant to me. But once I realized the chords are all familiar (and thank goodness F is easy on the uke!) I could follow along here too. Thank you for your encouraging, helpful support, it's a pleasure to learn with you.

    I'm impressed you are the first guitar teacher to remind us to relax, breath is important. Your style is like my wife when she taught ballroom dance, relax it's fun and some times you have to shake it out, arms that is. PS I married my ballroom dance teacher almost 20 years ago. Today is my 73 birthday your instruction is a great present.
