Don Felder
Eagles guitarist who co-wrote Hotel California and traded the iconic outro solo with Joe Walsh. Felder's 1959 Les Paul Standard through a cranked tweed-era Fender combo with an Echoplex defined one of the most-studied lead tones in rock. His twin-harmony lines with Walsh are the template for two-guitar rock leads.
