#10 - Don Felder Interview: why he was known as Fingers in the Eagles 

Order Tom’s book, MILLION DOLLAR ADDICT:

Felder has to be one of the nicest rockers ever. Grounded, humble, and engaging. Thanks for posting.

Don Felder is a very decent human being and an excellent guitarist. He also has a tireless work ethic when writing and composing and playing music. He has never once in an interview come off as arrogant or brash or cocky. Just a down to earth, very nice man. He has given the world many gifts

My favorite Eagle by far. Without him they would not have their most iconic song. I was stunned when henley and frey did the power grab. The ironic thing is, when he was no longer with what has become the henley eagles, the soul left with him. I see them now on these youtube videos and they just look spiritless, low energy, and the guitar work on some of the songs is just a mess. He and Walsh should NEVER have been separated. But when I see videos of Felder and his band he just seems to be having fun unlike the henley eagles who look like they can't wait to get it over with. He is a great example of, when you play the right notes, you don't have to play so many of them, not that he can't, he just knows when not to. His guitar work is just exemplary of how to make a great record. We now have the henley eagles and the Felder Eagles. I choose the Felder Eagles by far. I don't care how good henley sings, or used to. Felder's guitar still sings great, and He's not half bad on vocals either. 'Nuff said .

I'd love to hear another Eagles album with Don Felder.....Life is short guys, just do it:)

Don Felder always gives a great interview

After seeing this interview I hate myself for not going to see him when he came to my area. Thank you for your contribution to The Eagles Mr. Felder. Maybe I will see you again when you come back to town 🎸☮️♥️

I saw Don Felder give a presentation at Santa Monica Public Library and he was so real and a pleasure to hear about his musical experiences and set the record straight!

It's fun to listen to Felder talk about music. The man is rich and could sit back and enjoy life, but he loves the music...not just the money. Keep rocking Don.

Never knew much about this man. He seems to be a really great person.

A classic rock master!

I predict the next "hell freezes over" will be with Don Felder and Joe Walsh finally teaming together. I believe that's what fans really want to see.

Great interview. I’ve commented on other Don Felder interviews that I have the greatest respect for Don Felder as a musician as well as a human. He comes across as a genuine “nice guy.”

My second comment. I wrote the first one about ten minutes into the interview and mentioned that when you play the right notes you don't have to play so many and then, lo and behold toward the end of the interview, he talks about that very thing AND a principle I have lived by in the making of all my own CD's, NEVER step on the vocal. I love this guy! Would love to have a cup of coffee with him!

Felder, Schmit and Meisner were the chillest guys and Leadon had a great sensibility as well. Walsh was great, but destructive and Henley/Frey were just enraptured by their own overblown egos and their greed was really disappointing.

DF quote, "Wonderful to be a classic" and Wonderful to hear you speak Don Felder, you look and sound so happy. Love the Chet Atkins story. You then apply it creating your own style. At 14 you were already a mini Guitar God. Smart small move with huge larger than life results - kimie

Great interview and not often get to hear in such depth!

Great artist,and just a cool guy.👍
