Hotel California - Guitar Solo Lesson! Note-for-Note with Tabs!

Музыка

Usually I start the video with a full performance of the solo I am teaching. However, the music publisher that owns the rights to the song made me remove it. Apparently, they thought it sounded too close to the original. I should be flattered, but it is a bit upsetting given the time and energy it took to pull it together properly. Oh well, I hope you enjoy this lesson :)
Interested in my custom tabs for this? Keep reading below.
If you would like to support the channel, you can send me a message and donate following this link: www.paypal.me/PDXguitarfreak

    I follow your tabs on Hotel California solo, I noticed that yours is so much different to most on KZread. Its hard to know if we are learning it correctly if we cant hear your version played by yourself. The Harmony section is the one that really is off the scale compared to everyone else playing it. I love yours as it seems the easist but not sure if its correct.

    KZread was forced to remove my original video that included the performance, by someone claiming to own the rights to the original song. Apparently, my performance was too close to the original 😉. However, because of your request, I have uploaded a video on the Rumble website, showing me perform the solo. Because it is a new upload over there, it is not showing up in searches, but you can use this web address: rumble.com/v3q5wn7-hotel-california-guitar-solo-with-tabs.html
