    Just for people who don't know. Don Felder wrote the music and played guitar (the big solo). Glenn Frey and Don Henley wrote the words. Henley sang the song. They kicked Felder out of The Eagles later on.

      And in reality, Henley was the major contributor lyrically. To me that gives a little insight as to why Glenn and Felder never got along very well. Once Felder joined, he handled most of the musical composition while Henley handled most of the lyrics which could have contributed to Glenn's resentment.

      Ok, here’s the answer concerning copyright law. Don Felder was a co-writer and producer on this song. Therefore, he owns just as much right to perform this song anywhere and anytime he chooses. He wrote half the song and he receives a nice royalty check every month in the same amount as Henley. So this is one song that Henley and his lawyers won’t be taking down.

    Felder went to the met museum when he moved to New York as a young man and spent an entire day looking around it. Here he’s back nearly fifty years later and his doubleneck’s hanging on the wall. I think it’s wonderful that he still plays the solo perfectly, even with no band behind him. And the sound of that guitar’s voice is just haunting.
    Felder’s an underrated, classy badass of a musician who was completely under appreciated and mistreated by Henley and Frey when he was in the Eagles. I hope that someday Henley can learn the lyrics of his own songs and take a shot at forgiving Felder, as Felder did to the Eagles.

    The Eagles were just another one of those bands that had so much talent in each member. In the beginning they were men who were like brothers who just wanted to make it, they truly cared deeply for the band and their brotherhood. Success, alcohol, drugs and egos about song writing and creating music slowly destroyed this band and the love and brotherhood that they had for one another. Same story for so many talented and great bands. Fighting for royalties and song credits, destroys friendships and bands.

      jur nelissen jur nelissen yup. That’s a Glenn Frey solo. You can hear a lot of his signature licks. Felder is an unreal guitar player, but the I Can’t Tell You Why Solo belongs entirely to Glenn Frey. Glenn honestly had such a melodic way of playing guitar. I know exactly what is meant by “weeping through the guitar”. It’s the same bends that Clapton used in his While My Guitar Gently Weeps solo for the Beatles. They come across with so much power and sadness and just raw emotion. Incredible solo.
