      Felder & Walsh also composed one of the most epic guitar solos in rock music history. As I recall it starts at 4 minutes & 20 seconds into the original studio version and is a bit over two minutes long.
      Henley may legally have full rights to the song, but the best parts, the chord progression and the epic outro solo, were all Don Felder and Felder & Walsh respectively. It’s sad that the truly notable creative forces behind the song have no say.

    0:43 I used "Over The Hills" intro to test guitars back when I worked in a shop. I found that opening riff to be a good way to pick out playability issues. Even better, also I learned it upside-down. Being left-handed and most customers being righties, I'd throw them for a loop when I'd demo my work to them by flipping their own guitar over and laying into it. =^-^=

      It’s a good idea, and it would probably help, but I get the feeling that with Hotel California specifically you’re orobably screwed anyway. Since it’s their number one song, and he probably wanted to play it properly, not just strum it or something.

He showed some figures once, that demonstrated an upsurge in sales for a song after he'd featured it, so the record companies are kind of shooting themselves in the foot.
