Hotel California - Eagles - Guitar Bass Drum Cover

Here's my full band cover of me playing all the guitar parts, bass, and drums for Hotel California by the Eagles. I used 2 acoustic guitars, one with Nashville tuning strings and other with standard tuning to get the 12 string sound. I recorded, mixed, and edited the video and audio in my home studio with the following equipment:

This was 8 years ago. You are now 8 years better, this is incredible. Loved every second of it.

[TomMartin]

I am speechless... You are a guitarist, bassist and drummer... It shouldn't be allowed to be so talented...

[lorenzosalamone]

Sound, touch, arrangements....Just INCREDIBLE!

Lyrics

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here
Since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

After 40 years of listening, atleast 1000 times, even today is still very fresh as a dew drop.the greatest composition of rock of all times.brilliantly played.

[NoxMD]

Not only is your video great for learning all the different guitar parts of the song but you're also adding all the tabs as well as the gear used in the description ?You sir are a gentleman and a scholar !

[alexandermauder]

Tylor you are greatest genius in the world, what a huge talent you have. Guess you are not from this world. God bless you.

[finndamage]

I'm 43 years old and always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. Thanks for the inspiration!

[benwhittingtonmusic]

Everyone is talking about 3:06min but i'm so much more impressed with 3:19min!!! :D

That high bend and then the perfect slide transition!
Absolutely loved watching this :D

[cresmor]

I cannot understand how you do it ... what I've just watched/listened to defies logic. You are certainly a very talented man! Thank you!

[skulleader]

Maybe the most perfect version that I heard, when I close my eyes and I hear you I have the sensation to hear the real "The Eagles". Congratulation because it's really awesome and perfect +1

[ahmedrashed]

wow dude, i can't spot 1 mistake, well done! remarkable

[deankrystienfloresfolloso]

Who's your bandmates?

Tyler: Yes

[ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Great job! Nice to see young guys doing music where you actually need to play intruments. It's no where as easy as it looks. Way to go. cheers

[gtkayofficial]

Instrumentally this has to be the best cover of this song

You can find us here
