In Music Theory Monday Ep.1, we look at the secret behind the Hotel California guitar solo. We learn how to solo over each chord in this progression as well as how to approach this concept with any song or any chord progression. Understanding the essential notes of the chord, or the chord tones, will go a long way in helping you to outline each chord while you are playing a solo or any type of lead part. We go over how to approach this with a loop or backing track as well.
