Hotel California by Eagles Lesson

Song Lessons Grade 2 Songs

Hi @Richard_close2u ,
The chorus as justin says and plays from minute 4, is different in the first half than in the 2nd half according to the tabs…and also according to the music :grin:…because of copyright things I won’t post it … .but the first time Am must be B7 2x and then Em 2x…
Greetings…

@roger_holland Yes, I see that, the chorus does switch around from section 1 to section 2.
C, G, B7, Em
C G Am, B7
This is in one of Justin’s songbooks - I will try to remember to check what is noted in the chord progression there.

I’ll edit my post as well, now that it’s all right to avoid confusion

… :wink:

Hi Richard @Richard_close2u
It’s about time to practice this one again and I forgot the exact order and wanted to take a look, but the video is not available.Fortunately I have the tabs so that will be ok (and the ears are oke too) :smiling_face:…but hopefully this is temporary and not forever by the eagle police because this is a very populair lesson. :crossed_fingers:
Greetings

Ah, Rogier, you know that The Eagles’ legals are a busy bunch! :wink:

Ooo,so it is the eagles police :confounded:…bummer,
And I just saw that I learned this in the “simple” way without the tabs that were not there the first time when I started this…is quite different for me with those extra notes put in between,and the memory gets worse with the months :roll_eyes: …oke, I have something to do the next few days :sweat_smile:…
Good luck with the covid and hopefully you will have a good weekend later :crossed_fingers:
Greetings…

I apologize if this has already been addressed. Hotel California is the top requested song and it appears Justin had already built a lesson.
I can not view the lesson because of blocked content. “Video unavailable
This video contains content from UMPG Publishing, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds”
Why blocked?
And why was it in grade 2? Was it a simplified version?
I would love to see a more advanced lesson.
Regards

This is your answer right here. The Pubisher has blocked the video. There is nothing Justin can do if a publisher blocks a video.

The Eagles are IP juggernauts. If they even have a hint someone is thinking about one of their songs, the ban hammer is coming.

Well… you’ll have to move - I still have access to the video over here at the other side of the Atlantic :slight_smile:

25

I also have the video in Canada. UMPG must only have rights in the US

26

I learned the intro at least from Andy’s excellent tutorial at shutupandplay.ca
It was temporarily blocked there as well, but is available again. It is as played on the album.

works fine here in philippines on the web lesson, although its not in the app which is a bit annoying

Thanks Justin, I’m really glad I subscribed to your great lessons (videos + tabs). But what happened with your tutorial on Hotel California? I’ve just started learning it, and suddenly the video isn’t available anymore! Are you going to put it back on?

This explains where it went

Hi @cgueissaz

Hi all,

I understand that this lesson has been taken done. My question is for anyone who was able to watch the lesson before it was taken down. Does anyone remember what Justin’s recommended approach was to playing the intro? Chords and strumming I can work out myself but would love to know if Justin (or anyone else on this site) has any tips around the picking pattern before the first verse kicks in.

Hi ,
Capo on the 7th fret and start with an Em relative to the capo…and pick individual notes…have fun :sunglasses:
Greetings,Rogier
