Melodic Don Felder of The Eagles World class songwriter and Blues Guitarist

[@michaelberry2421]

Felder needs to be listed as one of the best guitar players of all times - incredible player

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Tasty Guitar phrases for sure, great music writer all in all a real good guy, so Yes indeed I agree with you Michael Berry, Great to hear from you & Thanks for viewing Sir.

[@findinggspots6441]

Don Felder....a class act. So humble and generous, and treated so badly by you know who!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Yes indeed Sir, and he is certainly a good guy, happy you enjoyed the video.

[@Kenneth-nq2ty]

Frey and Henley so greedy and they are jerk

[@berniemilligan4576]

Don Felder is not only a great talent but gracious as well. His guitar work on new kid in town is celestial. Impressive as a human being. Seems like Henley & Frey hold their righteous resentments too dearly.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I can certainly agree with that .

[@DavidKlepak-wz8vb]

The most underrated guitar player and song writer of all time. People are jealous because he's talented and wealthy along with good looking. I say the Eagles wouldn't have been close to as good without Don.

[@BirdYoumans]

My motto has always been, it isn't how many notes you play, it's WHICH notes you play and HOW you play them. Felder is the perfect embodiment of that. One of, if not my favorite, guitarists. I love this guy.

Indeed, there is a lot to be said for DYNAMICS & phrasing

Fabulous guitarists!

[@beachlifebestlife]

too bad Henley never allowed that....

[@michaelsorchantte3857]

I don't know about that buddy,from what I've read both Frey and Henley wanted Felder to be as creative as he wanted,case in point the intro to the live version of Hotel California was completely improvised.Felder has gone on record as saying that he asked Henley how to start and he responded "just make up something" and that just took the song to a whole new level.Having said that of course I know that Frey and Henley are sticklers for wanting the live versions to be just like the studio versions.I never want to comment on the politics of the band as no one except they and their lawyers know exactly what happened.greetings from Australia

[@beachlifebestlife]

all i know is through felders interviews.....he said he and walsh were playing their solos on Henleys " all she wants to dance" they were dancing around on stage and Henley gave both The Look and after the show he confronted them about it.....id say thats abit much

Vince that is a billion percent correct, MELODIC, This is the hard part in music to make it tasty & something you can chew on if you will, That is not discounting the Guitar Gun slinger but admiring the Gymnastics on said instrument, Melodic would be the first thing I would teach, Be melodic my Friend, Just think of there Lyrics also it's just outright poetry , We haven't had that Spirit since 1969, Pass the word around with the Share button, I appreciate you Sir & thanks for viewing.

No doubt one of the greatest guitars there ever was and still is. Don Felder, Jimmy page George Harrison, but my favorite melodic player out of all of them was Chet Atkins. I love to play guitar but has a solo instrumentalist. It is one of the hardest ways To play a guitar. There are no shortcuts in learning this style. Don Felder is no slouch of a guitar player. He’s neat and clean and beautiful. I think he’s one of the greatest. One of my all-time favorite bands and still is to this day is the Eagles. Thanks for the video. Have a great day.👍👍😁❤️🎸🎼🎶🎵☮️

[@keesjorritsma3723]

Een geweldige gitarist en een mooi en integer mens. Spreekt nooit negatief over de mensen binnen de Eagles, die meer op geld belust waren. Don Felder wilde de inkomsten gelijk over de bandleden verdelen, helaas heeft dat tot een breuk geleid. Na "Hell freezes over" heeft de band voor mij nooit meer hun niveau kunnen evenaren. De aanvullingen op de samenstelling repertoire van de band na het overlijden van Glenn Frey, hebben niet bijgedragen tot een verbetering van de sound en kwaliteit, die mij zo bekoorde. Geniet nog dagelijks van de nummers in de oude bezetting, met de ook al overleden Randy Meisner.

Felder is a phenomenal player... tone, taste, restraint. Same goes for Joe Walsh... his writing (and playing) brought life to The Eagles. It's a shame Henley/Frey were such pricks. But as they say, never meet your heroes.

Joe Walsh isn't even close to Don Felder...in talent or reputation...unless you count drunken drugged out idiots as a good thing...

[@bangcolt]

I find it interesting that you begin a video on the melodic playing of Don Felder that has him playing a solo that is officially being played by Glenn Fry (“I Can’t Tell You Why”). However, even though the “story” is that Glenn performed the solo in studio, he’s depicted playing keys on the video while Felder is playing the melodic solo seen here. Also, I have never seen or heard any evidence of Fry (RIP) playing the song on lead guitar or even playing in such a melodic style. I’ll go to my grave believing that it is Felder playing the solo on record.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I agree

[@shuroom57]

Of course it's Felder. I greatly admire Glenn Frey and his works, but he had a touch of that Jerry Lewis venom in him.

[@gavindadds4414]

There's actually an interview out there I've seen where Felder actually says Frey plays the solo. Felder said he and Walsh both took a crack at it but couldn't quite nail it and it was Frey who came up with the solo. Probably a case where Frey's limited repertoire of licks compared to the other two actually paid off. The simpleness of it is it's strength.

Angles were my. Band back in the early 70s graduated hs in 1973 where the eagles, Pink Floyd, grand funk, CSNY , the allman brothers, gentility giant, Black Sabbath, Uriah heap, foringer, bad company, Santana, beach boys, the who, the guess who, deep purple, some are a little later STEVIE RAY VAUGHN, Chicago, sultans of swing, bread, Jackson brown,, Linda rhonstadt, Carley Simon, the doors, Hendrix, it would take me all night to think of them all, in my opinion, todays music is colorless, emotionless compared to the lte 50s 60s 70s and 80ss wow Van Halen, but of all the guitarists i know every single eagles songs, if you notice some of the other reacts who i love all those guys have a style that you can pick out no matter ho they are playing with, oh yes before the eagles joe Walsh, he was amazing but you could always pick out his guitar playing, its lie when mick jagger dis a duet with i forget now everybody woukd gear it on the car radio saying isnt that jagger. This is not to criticize any other artist dut if you go through all the early eagles songs through 77, don Felder was a mash we, go ahead and pick out a couple songs where you might not have heard Felder before before but recognizes him, im not saying he was stuck in a style. Thats because don Felder who is to me a humble man besides the lies glen said about him, sure they wouldent sound like the eagles with out glen fry or don Hensley, but just as much after don took over lead guitar from Barney, the eagles got some balls, they could still put out a song thats a soft love song, but don Feilder, to me was the deep creek running slower cleaner richer than the more. Anyway try that listen too a bunch of eagles songs in a row, then try that with Stevie ray, or Santana, or Pink Floyd you’ll always pick out the lead pla. I wish i could go back in time to the early 70s and definatly less alcohol and drugs and just studied guitar order do Felder. Them kicking Felder ot i watched the history of the eagles. I love that video. The political battle is just like today the democrats cancel you i you if they don’t like your politics. Don Felder rightly looked t the eagles as a proper business. It’s hard work and long hours and the 2 hippies glen and Don Henley was giving the gigs away pissed don Feilder off . The band split up. They got back together with a Travis tritt sh. Anyway im a 68 year old guitarist played guitar since 1964 i can hold my own but im no don henly. Plus you have to agree all those songs they credited henly and fry for they’re color, but you’ll have to agree besides the tricky wonderful son gs and great vocals still the eagles would have never reached the heights THET did without all those classy thoughtful riffs.

Felder’s brilliant talent was remarkable in every eagles songs but never given the recognition he deserved from henley and frey.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Interesting, true also because I don't think Id recognize him.

[@stevieboi61]

👌

[@JBmadera]

onne of the best parts of growing up in the 70's in California was all the great music, especially the Eagles. Don didn't get the credit he deservred but it really isn't possible for everyone in the band (or any groupd/business) to get the same $$$ and same credit. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't listen to numerous Eagle's songs.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I Can agree with that statement, Felder Is a good guy also. Thanks for viewing.

[@lylecampbell9036]

Felder deserved the same $$ because he was an officer of the corporation. You can't just fire him or underpay him.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

@@lylecampbell9036Interesting, I believe your right.

[@garyssimo]

Don must use 9 or even 8 gauge strings for those bends.

[@carltonhinote2247]

Would there be any way I could contact Don Felder , I’m not a stalker . I’m a 68 year old retired electrician from a major power plant company . I’ve been playing guitar since I was 14 and I’ve never gotten much better than playing open chords and barr chords playing alone in my bedroom , I do know some about music theory and I’ve always wanted to learn to play lead guitar even if I only learn to play 8 songs good . Hotel California, Santana and a plethora of other songs from the seventies and eighties . I have two guitars, one is an Ovation with the thinner back , the other is my baby it’s a PRS Custom 24 Ten Top that I bought with the intentions of playing lead guitar . Not getting very far playing by myself and trying to figure it all out . I also have a small Marshall amp . If he would somehow get my comment and maybe offer to teach me some guitar I’d be so grateful to him . I also know some pentatonic scales but don’t have much luck getting them to sound like anything worth hearing . I would go to any place he would be willing to meet me and work with me some . I’m talking about I would work with him for months or as long as he is willing . I live in Florida about a hour south of Gainesville Fl . I don’t have much money but I’ll pay him something for his time . Thanks my fingers are crossed .

Yes indeed great guitar solo collaboration

[@BrianPeloso-ln4ry]

Ok this is fucking nuts...holy shit...

[@vinniemoran7362]

Frey's comment about Felder is the worst. Felder wasn't concerned about the money Frey was making. He was concerned he was getting gypped out of his share - a conversation Frey & Henley kept putting off year after year. . Frey was such a d***.

[@jeffgolladay5813]

Felder was the greatest Eagles guitarist, not close

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Must agree Jeff, there is a lot to be said for the word Melodic, I have a video posting today at some point see ya there Sir.

[@kennyofatoboiyo7447]

Walsh is also pretty good but yeah Felder reigns supreme

[@hankd18]

I agree,..but...Bernie Leadon was pretty good too!

[@tomk1tl39]

I think Felder and Walsh were two of the best guitar players who played together extremely well . . . too bad that Henley/Fry were two jerks . . . JMHO . . .

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I hear ya, I'm a Felder fan myself, thanks for viewing.

[@renebrown7394]

Yes…I often wished they would have split from the Eagles and formed their own band

[@BaronEvola123]

Felder is the guy who wrote all the tastiest licks and hooks for The Eagles.

[@garysarratt1]

Duane’s and Greg’s band *The Hourglass* was good, too.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I certainly agree Gary, I will do a video on them soon. Thank you for viewing.

[@garysarratt1]

@@theguitartemplepriest That’s not necessary, I’m not that guy. Just leaving some truth that hopefully others can discover and groove to. 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@theguitartemplepriest]

The Hourglass I will check them out this week, thanks for the information .

[@mytran-f1u]

Don must be a very good lead guitarist. Frey and Henley didn’t like him but they must have him in the band.

[@markwarnberg9504]

It was Frey who asked him to join the band. Felder was just about to sighn on with Crosby - Stills & Nash. It was Nash who told Felder too "Go with the Eagles, you´ll be a full member and not some hired gun".

[@TheCountofToulouse]

Concerning Glen Frye and his gripe with Felder, in the end, Felder was right and it was PROVEN in a court of law, no matter what Henley and Frye felt 'entitled' to, they was a legally binding contract that they ALL signed. On principal, it was a crap thing to do and for money? My goodness, they were all making GOBS of it and that was the excuse they used to throw him out of the band? That never sat well with me nor the excuse that Glen used with the slander comment about a 'hippy commune', especially coming from such pronounced leftists like Frye.

[@atatterson6992]

What a stoopid ass question, "when you recorded those songs (early 70s) did you have any idea..." Oh yeah, we knew it would be the highest selling album of all time...

[@marie-m9p]

What are “colitas?”

[@jeffreycrane8846]

Frey got greedy and forced out an unbelievable talent in Felder. DF made that group a super group.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

He dose seems to be a good guy to be honest.

[@skullduggery3377]

Hey, look. It's the OTHER guy.

[@stur.7502]

Felder and Walsh were young scrawny kids - a matching pair of bookends - where you gonna' find something like that - in a thrift store? - Only once in a lifetime, only once. Cheers.
