Bernie Leadon played guitar, mandolin, banjo, pedal steel, and sang harmony vocals on the greatest-selling album of all time, Eagles Greatest Hits, Volume 1. For many guitarists, he is known as one of the earliest exponents of the B-Bender, a mechanical device that allows the "B" string to be raised a whole step via a system of cranks and levers. His work on "Peaceful Easy Feeling" is an excellent example of the sound the device allows and is by far the most accessible and most often heard example of a guitarist using it. Today we take a look at Leadon's work through the years, spotlight some of his session work, and discuss his original Pull-String equipped Telecaster. We also cover how he ended up on the History of the Eagles tour, and the spartan setup that he used for the 170 dates back out on the road with his old band.

Bernie somehow almost manages to be unsung, a hero never the less. Seems like he’s been integral to Californian country. I love these mini lectures Zac! Thank you.

Bernie Leadon is reason I play guitar, mandolin, banjo and Telecaster. My significant other likes when I sing “Train Leaves Here This Morning” which was credited to Bernie and Gene Clark. It is a remnant of the Dillard and Clark days and appears as the first song on side two of Eagles debut record. He’s a humble person and claims to have not contributed much to that song or to “Witchy Woman” also on the debut Eagles album. Bernie does great interviews. Thank you Zac.

The Eagles were never as good after Bernie left. And I love the Desperado album,

I have seen the all the eagles documentary’s…They talk up Joe Walsh,Don,But Bernie doesn’t get the respect…Such a great band member..Plays for the song!

@deanevangelista6359 Год назад

Of course, Joe Walsh was just on a regular bender.

@Hendrix.

Bernie's guitar work and Glenn's voice made the band, IMO.

Cool to give Bernie some love. I grew up in Gainesville FL and played a lot of guitar with one of his younger brothers Mike, who is also an incredible musician. Of course Tommy is no slouch either as Mike Campbell will tell you. Ten Leadon kids and they are all talented.

On the Gainesville, FL “magic”, don’t forget that Stephen Stills also passed through Gainesville and even played in a band there with Don Felder.

Can you make a Bernie leadon pedal steel licks lesson showing a bunch of pedal steel licks with the B bender and without also getting those pedal steel licks

@MrKaufmana1 Год назад

The first two Eagles records are really a showcase for Bernie and his multi-instrumentalist chops. A great player - The CMHOF is missing Chris Ethridge's suit. It was stolen from him years ago and never recovered.

Great show! Loved the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers acknowledgement. I'm 70, and both my older brothers were bluegrass players and devotes. They had that album and played it often.

@Badhands55 Год назад

He’s the guy that influenced me on my telecaster quest

@andyinoregon Год назад

So glad, Zac, that you reminded fans that it was Glenn Frey playing the beautifully understated lead guitar on the album version of "I Can't Tell You Why." The Eagles music video convinced most fans that Don Felder must have composed and played those leads.

In 1975,Bernie Leadon co-produced "Midnight on the Water" with Brian Ahern- an album by the David Bromberg Band with a galaxy of guests including Jesse Ed Davis. On "Mr Blue" Bernie played the most wonderful acoustic guitar solo- as on "Sweet Dreams" as Zac mentions. I actually bought this album early in 1976 while staying with a friend for the weekend to see Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band! Emmylou, Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt sang back up vocals on the album as did Ricky Skaggs. It was a time when so much great music in this vein was being made in LA. Of course, I got to see James Burton that night and many years later became friends with the guitar tutor at the Yehudi Menuhin school- and he was also at that concert as he was studying guitar at the Northern School of Music, Manchester- the city where the concert took place. That live Hot Band album is that same concert set! Great times and great music!

Great, Great Episode! PLEASE, keep ‘em comin’!

@stevencancel1727 Год назад

Appreciate the tree of music, loved Bernie's banjo!

@tomburkhardt811 Год назад

Great edition, thanks Zac!

@aarond23

Bernie is a legend! His sound started the Eagles on their path, they wouldn't have had such a good start without him.

@joshporter08 Год назад

First of all, Great episode! I love Bernie, he’s such an underrated piece of the Eagles sound. I spent 6 hours in my studio Saturday recording my version of “Peaceful Easy Feeling.” It’s such a fun tune and the layers of sonic goodness are so cool. Also, your patreon is such a blessing to musicians that want to know the technical aspects of our favorite pickers. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Take care.
