I think as a guitarist, kinda. He's not as recognized by the general public. But with musicians? He's one of the most known and iconic guitarists around. However, he definitely should be more known for his songwriting skills.
I’m almost 60 and restarted to play the guitar (and the bass also). This guy is a truly inspiration for me. Thank you, Sir. You made my day!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Back in Gainesville Florida he went to high school with Stephen Stills, became best friends with Bernie Leadon, got to know the Allman Brothers who taught him slide guitar and taught Tom Petty how to play guitar in his other job. All above are in R&R hall of fame. What a town for talent!
Hes like the cat that got the canary when he got picked for the Eagles and through all the ups and downs of that band, he still has that same smile. Props to him.
Saw the Eagles at the long gone Cap Center in Landover, Md. in May of 1977, and never miss a chance to see Felder do his magic. Thank you for the post.
@@Dismembering_Man Where did you hear that? I was only aware of him establishing the intro and the stuff I mentioned earlier... I'm not debating you, I saw the documentary, The history of the Eagles, part 1 and 2. That's why I said what I wrote. You think Henley and Frey had nothing to do with the written notes?
@@CF-Warrior I saw it on an interview with Felder, he was at his beach house playing whatever came to mind and he made the guitar intro to hotel California, he thought it was something special so he ran to his recording room which also happened to be his daughters room, and he made up the other parts like the other guitar parts, the bass parts, and the percussion, the only thing he didn’t do was the lyrics
He wrote it; he played it. Had I known how badly "Glen Henley" treated him, I wouldn't have gone to their concerts or purchased their music. I certainly won't in the future.
@@rukshandezoysa6171 As I understand it, Glenn Frey and Don Henley made everyone else in the band into hired hands. Don Felder made the mistake of asking for equal status and singing parts on albums. Glenn Frey physically threatened Felder at the end of Felder's last performance as an Eagle.
Fantastic tone from that doubleneck! Fantastic performance from an artist still with us and still going out on stage and thrilling audiences. How lucky we are!
I cannot imagine my life without this composition. Thank You Mr. Felder! I’ll never forget being in high school and hearing this played on the radio for the first time.
que grande verlo de nuevo a Don Felder y con la misma guitarra doble cuando pertenecia a la banda en 1977 cuando usaba pelo largo y bigote..y esa enemistad que tenian los dos me refiero a Glenn Frey.
He created such a iconic guitar solo..to bad he got veto out of the band. They needed him more than they never thought even in highlight. Eagles became a boys club..too bad.But he is not forgotten.
He can always be proud he stood up to Frey and Henley and took "Everything" that was legally his, including playing Eagles song's for pay anytime he pleases.

So very nice. --[1] We are going to see Don & band in three days, on Sat, Feb 11, 2023, 3:00 pm at Family Gras in beautiful Metairie, LA, New Orleans' civilized western suburb. I'm looking forward to seeing them. --[2] Rick Springfield immediately follows Don. Thus, on this coming Saturday, it's going to be "You can check out anytime you like, with Jessie's Girl." Not bad at all. 👍 Stay well. Richard 👍
@@pauladrennan4223/videos/videos Are you from the New Orleans area? --[1] I was there at the Don followed by Rick concerts at Family Gras, on last Saturday, 2/11/23, ... in the cold (about 50 degrees at the start) & rain (drizzle really, but standing in the drizzle over time, really wet us). It was miserable weather, but such excellent music made the physical discomfort worthwhile. For the latter half of Rick's concert, the temperature dropped a noticeable few degrees, with the drizzle. Rick rightly said that he could not feel his fingers for playing his guitars. --[2] Due to tight time scheduling, both concerts were short, Don 11 songs (mostly Eagles songs, which the singing-along audience knew well & loved) & Rick 13 songs (mostly his recordings). Both bands were excellent professionals, who covered their song most closely to the original recordings. Most noticeably, both bands had large, multi-part vocal harmonies, like the original recordings. --{3] Being an "memorable experience" & a most well performed concert, we had a great time. I'm really glad that we went. Life is good, very good. "Life's been good to me so far." 👍😁👍
One of a kind great guitarist. Fired by the Eagles, but only the touring band. Still a member of Eagles Inc. Saw him in an interview where he said that he no longer played with the band, but still makes a ton of money on the music. Gets paid every time they play in concert. Last laugh is Don’s. Gets paid to not play with them. 😅
Felder is already 75 yet he can still play the solo remarkably
Not to mention on a guitar that weighs in at about 13- 14 pounds.
@@scottsteeves and he didn’t even struggle to lift it with one arm at the end. Wild lol
Now we found the 8th wonders.
My Boy Don Fingers Felder, got the pipes to sing and the awesome picking on that double !! Dudes a LEGEND!!
It’s an auto tune mic, it’s not his real voice
Still amazing though no doubt
Felders always got that smile!!! Always wishing him the best. Thanks for the upload
One fantastically underrated guitarist. Don Felder is amazing.
Felder "underrated"? Interesting statement. I think that "underrated" is one of the most overrated classifications in the youtube coment section.
@@joe22589 What a fascinating and stupid comment. Why do you even post? Seriously?
I think as a guitarist, kinda. He's not as recognized by the general public. But with musicians? He's one of the most known and iconic guitarists around. However, he definitely should be more known for his songwriting skills.
He ain't underrated, lol where you hear that?
@@joe22589 I always say that about these "underrated" comments! Typical idiots who don't know what they're talking about... status quo these days!
Brilliant...Indeed, a legend!!!❤
Sounds great. Solid vocals while playing those leads, amazing. Cheers
I’m almost 60 and restarted to play the guitar (and the bass also). This guy is a truly inspiration for me. Thank you, Sir. You made my day!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This song, along with Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing" and Fleetwood Mac's "Go your own way" are my all time Top-3
Hotel, Sultans, Losing Religion and Whiny in Jar Thin L
One of if not the best guitarist of all time, a legend in my eyes.
Back in Gainesville Florida he went to high school with Stephen Stills, became best friends with Bernie Leadon, got to know the Allman Brothers who taught him slide guitar and taught Tom Petty how to play guitar in his other job.
All above are in R&R hall of fame.
What a town for talent!
This is definitely one of the best songs ever written. Fantastic. Magnificent guitar work.
The man can still rock it
One of the most beautiful songs, ever💖
Tears of emotion, only thank you Don!
Priceless. The great Don Felder.
A grand master doing his craft. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
Hes like the cat that got the canary when he got picked for the Eagles and through all the ups and downs of that band, he still has that same smile. Props to him.
Apparently you haven't read his autobio. He's a very bitter and, in my opinion, unjustifiably so.
Hotel california Guitar solo is truly above all pieces. Don you are amazing... 👍👍
Saw the Eagles at the long gone Cap Center in Landover, Md. in May of 1977, and never miss a chance to see Felder do his magic. Thank you for the post.
Isn't he unbelievably loveable? One of my favorite people on Earth. Don, you have my heart ❤️
I was there!! Great show!
I was surprised it was such a small crowd.
Don Felder, the absolute master of that 12 lb Gibson double neck. What a fabulous song he wrote.
He didn't write it... He established the melody and him and Walsh the guitar licks etc...
@@CF-Warrior He wrote the the chord progression and the bass line. He and Joe wrote the solo, and Frey and Henley wrote the lyrics.
@@CF-Warrior he wrote literally every instrumental note you hear in the song…

Allways love this man. If it wasn't for him. There wouldn't be Hotel California.....much love
Yes
Hotel California is all guitar work.
He wrote it; he played it. Had I known how badly "Glen Henley" treated him, I wouldn't have gone to their concerts or purchased their music. I certainly won't in the future.
@@jjohnston7837 what happened to Don. Why did he leave Eagles. He looks a calm easy going dude.

Bravooo!!!! in this time is very cool, thanks!!!😇💓🤘👍
...nobody can replaced Don Felder.......legend
He puts on an incredible show
Great musician n song writer.. icon n the real talent behind the Eagles obviously
기타 연주가 일품인 팝송은 수도 없이 많다.
그러나 내가 들었던 그 많은 기타 연주 중에서 한 곡만 기억하고 모두 지워야 한다면
나는 이 곡의 기타 연주를 선택할 것 같다.
I love Don Felder.
He’s a real and true musician, they don’t make them like that anymore!!!
The way this song should be heard
Sensacional!! Thank you so much. God bless you, Don Felder.
Pincheee viejo precioso canta y toca hermosisimooo cancionsonnnn siempre la voy a amar bendiciones para todos hoy yx siempre
I cannot imagine my life without this composition. Thank You Mr. Felder! I’ll never forget being in high school and hearing this played on the radio for the first time.
You can thank Jethro Tull for this song

My all time classic favourite song & to me, one of the most brilliant guitar play ever performed by this truly legend of a musician 👍 👍 👏 👏 👏
Reading his book right now, almost finished. I highly recommend it.
What's the title of the book? Thanks for answering my question.
Hello
His new book is called “Heaven and Hell, my life with the Eagles” hope that helps
His new book is called “ Heaven and Hell, my life with the Eagles. Disclaimer- I haven’t read it yet myself, hope that helps :)@@MrNeumerker

I just got my tickets for his concert in Fort Lauderdale in 4 weeks, first row, and there is nothing you guys can do about it :-)
Get to see them 2/19 in PDX. So excited 🎉🎉🎉

Thể best song thanks...
Сто тысяч лайков и еще столькоже.
Amazing live.
He can always be proud he stood up to Frey and Henley and took "Everything" that was legally his, including playing Eagles song's for pay anytime he pleases.
What's?
Yeah well known they were jerks .
Ok but anyone can play Eagles songs anytime they like !
He Can even play songs by Jethro Tull 🥴
@@bikefreak5787 But Cull Tull doesn't pay him royalties nor untold millions in a settlement.
The best guitar piece ever!
GREAT SONG.
Don't f**k with perfection.

I LOVE THIS MASTERPIECE AND IM 18 YEARS, RESPECT FOR THIS GUYS
Don Felder.. you 'own' that song/tune!
absolutely legendary solo
Hell yes he is part of our life as guys and girls of the 70s
It's just a great feeling to hear Hotel California any time of day and knowing Don Felder is doing the Lead.
Любимая песня нашей молодости🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💐💐💐❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹🌹🌹
Не навижу эту песню... но с ним летаю часто с ЛОС Анджелеса в МАЯМИ
Simplesmente fantástico! Dispensa comentários.

Genius man
Simplesmente uma Jóia rara, me emociono muito com o Eagles em especial com esse gênio, faz tudo até baterista é da banda

He is a living legend and im glad to see him still playing this song up on stage and having a ball. Rock on 🤘
Playing that duet with Don would be the crowning achievement of a guitar lifetime.
