Hotel California – Don Felder’s first lead guitar lesson tutorial

The leads to Hotel California are some of the few lead guitar parts that need to be close to the original recordings. It’s not necessary to get every note just like the record. Even the artists don’t play leads exactly like the original recordings. The notes taught in this video are pretty close to the original recording. Don Felder himself plays it a little differently in a live situation than he did on the record.
