The guitar sound is like the album. Don Felder is the magician behind this music in the Eagles sound. pic.twitter.com/tDY8Y6Ehbp
As we will remember, Don Felder, once of the Eagles, was really a good guitarist and was the architect of the musical part of the song, Hotel California (Glenn Frey and Don Henley wrote the lyrics). Unfortunately, he and Frey did not get along and he was fired from the (reformed) band in 2001.
Here below you can see him in 1994 with the band after they got back together for a time and recorded the MTV concert Hell Freezes Over. He's so good in this acoustic version of Hotel California (Joe Walsh is the other lead guitarist) ....
