Bernie Leadon
Founding Eagle and the band's original lead guitarist, banjo player, and country-rock anchor through 1975. A multi-instrumentalist from the Flying Burrito Brothers, Leadon brought the bright, bending Telecaster licks and bluegrass textures that defined the Eagles' early sound — 'Take It Easy,' 'Peaceful Easy Feeling,' 'Witchy Woman.' His B-Bender Tele work bridged country picking and rock phrasing.
