Hotel California" is the title track from the Eagles' album of the same name and was released as a single in February 1977. Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder (music), Don Henley, and Glenn Frey (lyrics). The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh.
The song is considered the most famous recording by the band, and in 1998 its long guitar coda was voted the best guitar solo of all time by readers of Guitarist. The song was awarded the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978. The lyrics of the song have been given various interpretations by fans and critics alike, the Eagles themselves describing the song as their "interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles". In the 2013 documentary History of the Eagles, Henley said that the song was about "a journey from innocence to experience... that's all..."
Since its release, "Hotel California" has been covered by a number of artists and has become a part of international popular culture. Julia Phillips proposed adapting the song into a film, but the members of the Eagles disliked the idea and it never came to fruition. Commercially, "Hotel California" reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top ten of several international charts.

Hmm check again, I hear them fine.
@dan00075 just adjusted everything. Should be good now.
UkuleleJay Bass track for you. You can either use my DAW mix or otherwise I suggest a sync correction of -0.168. Please let me know if you want any changes. Thanks for letting me work on this one. I have been wanting to learn it for a long time. Cheers, Daniel. :)
@UkuleleJay took a while but I worked in a way to get all of those lead fills and solos compact to keep from overloading the collab
Going to redo vocal and add the harmonies
