Don Felder is one of the most versatile and skilled guitarists in American music. He delivers an emotional, sensitive harmony with the same elegant easiness as he does a heavy rock beat.

He picked up guitar playing in his early years, played at fraternity parties at home in Gainesville, Florida and in a band called "The Continentals", featuring Bernie Leadon and Stephen Stills before moving to New York where he joined "Flow".

In the early 70-ies he moved to California and 1974 he became a member of "The Eagles" after contributing on slide guitar in the song  "Good Day In Hell" on their album "On The Border".

Over the years, the most famous song that has been connected with him is "Hotel California". This song, which he composed and has played more than one giant solo to has also become one of the most well known and loved Eagles songs.

However, his contributions go far deeper than that.

Solos and harmonies he has delivered on various Gibsons, Fenders and Gretschs mix well with the vocal harmonies that is one of "The Eagles" trademarks.

During the "14 year vacation" of Eagle inactivity Don worked with different projects. His first solo album "Airborne" was released 1983, an album played and produced by him alone and from which the song "Bad Girls" became a music video. Another tune from the album, the romantic "Who Tonight"  holds a more sad and serious lyric showing his engagement in social matters.

Don has appeared as a guest on a number of other artist's CD's. Bob Seeger, Warren Zevon, Joe Walsh, David Blue and Stevie Nicks, just to mention a few, have had the luck to enjoy his musicality and skills when performing with them.

As a composer he also  added a couple of soundtracks to the movies   "Heavy Metal" and "Fast Times At Ridgemont High", the songs "Heavy Metal" and "All Of You".

When "Hell Freezes Over" and the world tour that followed in its tracks took place in 1994-1997  it presented a new acoustic version of "Hotel California" even more  fantastic than the original. It showed not only that Don has notes, rather than blood in his veins. It also gave the world an amazing solo intro and Walsh duo final even more fantastic than the original.

1998 he was inducted to the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" in company with all the Eagles members including Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner.

Very well deserved!!!

Since February 2001 Don is no longer a member of the Eagles who by his parture lost a big musical heart and one of the music world's best guitarists.

Today rumour says he is working on a new CD. What is not a rumour is that he regularly participates in different charity events like the  "Howard Keel Golf Classic" in the UK  which he hosted 2004 and 2005, taking over after the late Mr Howard Keel who left this world  2004. This tournament, that has raised more than a million dollars to the NSPCC over the years and Don's heartfelt engagement has been invaluable for the children in need.

He is one in a million!
