SONG STRUCTURE
The main 'loop' in Hotel California is an 8-chord sequence lasting 30 seconds. It's played twice during the intro, twice for each verse and backs Don & Joe's guitar solos that play us out. A slightly different 8-chord sequence is used for the chorus. Ukulele playing style varies to suit the different parts of the song, as the lesson explains.
