There are 3 guitars, they are as follows:
12-string acoustic w/ capo on 2nd fret: Glenn Frey
6 string electric (Fender Telecaster if you care): Joe Walsh
Gibson double-neck w/ capo on 7th fret of 12-string neck: Don Felder
This part took forever cus I couldn't find any video of it
being played so I had to play around with it so it might
be wrong but it works. It's heavily palm muted and I assume played by Walsh or Felder on the 6 string electric. Play it several times at the beginning before the main intro starts.

Ok here is where I'm clueless on Walsh. Glenn just strums the chords
I think, but Felder plays the intro through once more then Walsh and Felder split. Felder's note is the higher one, Walsh is the lower.

Felder only plays this part:

G ----11--11---12----11--12/14----12---11---------------------------------

then both Walsh and Felder play the lead in to the second part of the chorus
e --------------------------------
B --------------------------------
G --------------------------------

then Walsh plays this between "Plenty of room at the Hotel California" and

G -----14h16----14h16---14------------7---12--11--

then the first half of the second verse is the same as the first part of the
first verse then Walsh and Felder split again. Felder on the high note, Walsh on the low.

Now comes the breakdown. It's basically the same as the first part of the intro. Then when it's done this starts. Like the electric part of the verses Walsh is the lower note, Felder is the higher. It is basically the second part of the first verse combined with the second part of the second verse.

Now the solo; as I've said, Walsh's solo is probably really wrong but it's as close as I can get. Felder plays first, then Walsh.

Here's Glenn's part as best as I can give you for the verses and chorus'.
Bm
On a dark desert highway
F#7
Cool wind in my hair
A
Warm smell of colitas
E9
Rising up through the air
G
Up ahead in the distance
D
I saw a shimmering light
Em7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#7
I had to stop for the night
Bm
There she stood in the doorway
F#7
I heard the mission bell
A
An' I was thinkin' to myself tis could be
E9
Heaven or this could be hell
G
Then she lit up a candle
D
An' she showed me the way
Em7
There were voices down the corridor
F#7
I thought I heard them say
Chorus:
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#7
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Bm
Such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em7
Any time of year (any time of year)
F#7
You can find it here
Bm
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
F#m
She got the Mercedes Benz
A
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
E9
That she calls friends
G
How they dance in the courtyard
D
Sweet summer sweat
Em7
Some dance to remember
F#7
Some dance to forget
Bm
So I called up the captain
F#7
Please bring me my wine
A
He said we havn't had that spirit here since
E9
nineteen sixty nine
G
And still those voices are calling from
D
Far Away
Em7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
F#7
Just to here them say
Chorus:
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#7
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Bm
Such a lovely face
G D
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
Em7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
F#7
Bring your alibis
Bm
Mirrors on the ceiling
F#7
The pink champagne on ice an' she said
A
We are all just prisoners here
E9
Of our own device
G
An' in the master's chambers
D
They gathered for the feast
Em7
They stab it with their Steely knives but they
F#7
Just can't kill the beast
Bm
Last thing I remember I was
F#7
Running for the door
A
I had to find the passage back to the
E9
Place I was before
G
Relax said the night man we are
D
Programmed to receive
Em7
You can check out any time you like
F#7
But you can never leave
he just does the verse prog through the whole solo.
