Learn to Play “Hotel California” on Guitar: A Beginner’s Guide

Are you a fan of the Eagles and their classic song “Hotel California”? Do you want to learn how to play it on guitar? Well, you’re in luck because in this article, we’re going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to play the song.

But before we dive into the chords and strumming patterns, let’s take a moment to appreciate Marty Schwartz, the guitar instructor who made this tutorial possible. Marty is known for his easy-to-follow guitar lessons on YouTube, and this one is no exception.

Now, let’s get started. The first thing you need to know is that you’ll need a capo on the second fret to play along with the original recording. Marty uses the capo as a reference point, so he refers to the first fret as the “capo zero.”

The chords you’ll need for the verse are A minor, G major, D major, F major, C major, and D minor. Here’s how you play them:

A minor – Strum all the strings
E7 – Move the A minor shape up one string, and take off your ring finger
G major – Move your index and middle fingers up one string and your ring finger to the third fret of the E string
D major – Move your middle finger to the second fret of the E string and your index finger to the second fret of the G string
F major – Move your index finger to the first fret of the B string, your middle finger to the second fret of the G string, and your ring finger to the third fret of the D string
C major – Move your ring finger to the third fret of the A string
For the chorus, you’ll need F major, C major, E7, and D minor. Here’s how you play them:

F major – Barre the first fret with your index finger and place your middle finger on the second fret of the G string, your ring finger on the third fret of the A string, and your pinky on the third fret of the D string
C major – Place your ring finger on the third fret of the A string, your middle finger on the second fret of the D string, and your index finger on the first fret of the B string
E7 – Same as in the verse
D minor – Barre the first fret with your index finger and place your ring finger on the third fret of the B string and your middle finger on the second fret of the G string
Once you’ve learned the chords, it’s time to practice the strumming pattern. Marty suggests starting with a simple down-up-down-up pattern, and then adding some variations like accenting certain beats or adding a palm mute.

In addition to the chords and strumming pattern, Marty also teaches a “walk-up” that leads from the A minor chord to the F chord in the chorus. This is a common technique used in many songs, and it’s a great way to add some flair to your playing.

So there you have it, a beginner’s guide to playing “Hotel California” on guitar. With some practice and dedication, you’ll be able to impress your friends at the next campfire or open mic night. And if you have any other song requests or guitar lessons you’d like to see, be sure to let Marty know in the comments section of his YouTube channel. Happy playing!

How to play Hotel California on guitar?

“Hotel California” by the Eagles is one of the most iconic songs to play on the guitar, and its intricate fingerstyle and chord progressions have made it a favorite among guitarists. To play “Hotel California” on the guitar, you’ll need to start by familiarizing yourself with the chords used in the song, which include Bm, F#, A, E, G, D, and Em. The song begins with a captivating fingerpicked intro that requires a combination of plucking individual strings and strumming chords. The chorus and verses primarily involve strumming these chords in a specific sequence. One of the highlights of the song is its extended guitar solo, which is played using a combination of scales and techniques. It’s recommended to watch tutorial videos or use guitar tabs to get a visual and auditory sense of the finger placements and strumming patterns. As with any song, practice is key, so take your time to master each section before moving on to the next. Happy playing!

Learn How to Play “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” by Tom Petty on Guitar

Are you looking for an easy guitar lesson to learn a classic rock song? Look no further than “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” by Tom Petty! In this lesson, we will break down the chords and arpeggiating picking pattern for this song. The guitar is tuned down a half step to E flat, but don’t worry, even beginners can learn this song.

Tuning Down the Guitar

Before we begin, it’s important to tune your guitar down a half step to E flat. This is a tuning used by many famous guitarists like Guns N’ Roses, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix. By tuning down a half step, the chords and notes will sound lower and have a unique sound.

Chords and Strumming

The song’s chord structure is simple and only requires three chords: C, G, and A minor. You can play the entire song by simply strumming these three chords. However, if you want to add a little more flair, you can use an arpeggiating picking pattern.

Arpeggiating Picking Pattern

To play the arpeggiating picking pattern, you will begin with the open A string, followed by the second fret on the A string with your middle finger and the third fret on the A string with your ring finger. Then, form the C major chord and pick the G string, then the B string, and finally the high E string.

After playing the C chord, switch to the G chord and hit the D string, followed by the open E, A, and D strings. Then, go back to the G string and repeat the same picking pattern as before.

Finally, switch to the A minor chord and play the open A string, followed by the second fret on the A string with your middle finger and the third fret on the A string with your ring finger. Then, pick the D string, G string, B string, and high E string. Repeat the picking pattern starting on the open A string again.

Adding a Blues Lick

During the chorus, there is a cool blues lick that can add some extra flavor to your playing. The lick is played on the low E string and goes 3-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-open. Play this lick in between chords to create a bluesy sound.

Remember, even if you don’t play the exact picking pattern, the open chords will still sound great. This is a fun song to play and practice for both beginners and intermediate players. Thanks for reading and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more guitar lessons!
