WEEK 4
This week you will explore, Hotel California which was written and released back in 1976. Eagles lead singer Don Henley once told Rolling Stone, "We were all middle-class kids from the Midwest. 'Hotel California' was our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles,”.
HOTEL CALIFORNIA
HOTEL CALIFORNIA by The Eagles was originally recorded in the key of Bm but we have transposed it to the key of Am for ease of playing on the ukulele. You can however, play along to the original track by placing a CAPO on fret 2 of your ukulele and playing the basic chords shapes from your song sheet. We will also be shortening the intro to just one round and the outro to 3 rounds.
You will mix a range of basic open chord positions with some alternative chord positions and use both picking patterns and 16th note strumming patterns throughout the song.
