The ultimate arrangement was a function of Frey and Henley. Run smack about those two all you want,but they are the magicians that repeatedly turned 3 or 4 chords into hit songs.They stacked the trademark Eagles vocals and they wrote the great lyrics.

Being in the Eagles was a double edged sword for a guy like Don Felder. While he got to be part of timeless albums, songs and performances, he also was overshadowed by larger than life ego's, talents, and personalities of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh. With that much charisma and talent on the stage it was just too easy to take his masterful soloing, riffing and even songwriting for granted.

He has such an amazing touch on the fretboard and his plectrum is absolutely perfect. I noodle around with it occasionally. Some bands I've been in wanted to do the song just because I can play it, but I've always said no because first off I don't wanna make an ass of myself, and second, the Eagles are the stingiest group of litigation happy musicians on the planet.

I read Don Felder’s book, it was very interesting and let’s just say although he was devastated when he was kicked out of the band, it had to have been the best thing for him in the long run. The Eagles are remarkable, but what a toxic atmosphere he had to endure. My take is that Henley and Frey had a “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” relationship, had massive egos, and they were both resentful (jealous?) of Mr Felder’s talent and wanted him kept directly under their thumbs.

If the outro to this song doesn't give you goosebumps, you have no soul.

I love that even Sammy can't help but hum along with the guitar solo like the rest of us!

There is no Eagles without Fingers. Great writers and musicians all but, the melodies are always front and center in the memory of the mind's ear.

Eagles existed for two and a half platinum albums before Felder came along, they';re doing fine without him. These melodies were not written by Felder. We all know who did write them. Tell me what he did to make "Take It Easy " and "Witchy Woman" hits. I'll wait.

@@therealpatriarchy I was responding to someone who said there are no Eagles without Felder, So I want to know how they did so well without him from 1972-74. Felder created the basic guitar part for "Hotel California"" but he did not arrange it or create the melody or lyrics. I'm guessing you aren't a musician. I teach songwriting and arranging.Btw, HC is NOT their best selling single. Might wanna check with NARAS about that.

@@derhandtrommler Firing Felder was nothing more than heat-of-the-moment rashness caused by ego and irrational dominance. They had a lucky break finding him and all knew it. No one on earth is more capable and deserving of the post. They still have time to rectify this to their own immense benefit.

Even though I wasn’t alive when the song came out (I was born in 2000), I can still appreciate the masterpiece that is this song and the legendary guitar work of not only Felder but Joe Walsh too. Also I always forget that Don Felder can actually sing too. Although he never got much of an opportunity to while he was in the Eagles

Felder is the genius of this classic and is still in perfect form. But these two cannot match the vocals of Henley and Frey.

A master class form a true guitar maestro. Don's sense of timing is incredible, the guitar tones so sweet and the melodic playing had my ears hanging off every note Don played. So good!

I've never heard Don sing before. From the way Glen spoke of his vocals I was expecting a cringworthy performance, but he actually sings very well. Nice job on this song!

@davidleblanc7565 11 ай бұрын

He wrote it and was supposed to sing it but they snuck him out one day and Henley sang it. He oh well he did it a little better. Henley just put words to it
