Let’s try a 70’s hit song with our new video – “Hotel California” ukulele tutorial.  The video includes a ukulele rendition of the famous guitar coda. So stick to the end to check out the cool ukulele fingerpicking part.

We will need a total of seven chords for “Hotel California” ukulele tutorial:  Am, E7, G, D, F, C, Dm. These are fairly easy chords, all open chords with no bars needed. A couple are easy one-finger chords (Am and C).

Jenny transposed the song to A minor because it’s easier on the ukulele. Strumming pattern follows a D-DU-UDU (D-down, U-up) arrangement. Read more here
