You’re the bomb dude I like how you make it easy and you break it down nice and slow. I was able to learn this lead both parts in a matter just a couple of hours because of the way you teach it. That’s really awesome.

Sam👋, bravo quel feeling comme d’habitude salut à toi Alberto 👏.

I have not seen, on Youtube, a explanation of Hotel California even equal to Alberto's. Each lesson he has crafted is full of theory related to the harmony. Walsh and Felder might be surprised at how good this is. I speculate.

Excellent playing and technique. Worthy of a don henly lawsuit

First part in the book, now for the second. Dude, that double bound ax is the bomb.

You are an amazing teacher! You are taking so much care to explain nuances and not wasting time on basic nonsense. Love it. 🙏

[michaelstevenson]

Complimenti. Chiarissimo, facile da seguire e usare le note invece del numero dei tasti e' perfetto per avere piu' chiaro cosa sta succedendo armonicamente.

I saw someone's comment saying you talk too much.. To thay guy I say get the record listen to it and figure it out yourself.. To me I appreciate that you explain the how and why because I can play the solo but the true musical genius are exactly these little nuances that you explain so carefully.. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.. This song meens so much to me and the love care you show in your tutorial is amazing. You rock man 🎸🎸

[tomktl]

Outstanding job on this song 👍....been wanting to learn to play this but was really 'intimidated' by it....I think with time and your showing this to us, I think I will be able to make it work.👍

[emmanuelnaidoo]

[thomasrhodabeck]
