Don Felder (born September 21, 1947 in Gainesville, Florida) is an American rock musician, best known as guitarist for The Eagles from 1975-2001.

Don Felder was first attracted to music after watching Elvis live on the Ed Sullivan show. He got his first guitar when he was around 11, which he is believed to have exchanged with a friend for a handfull of cherry bombs. He was heavily influenced by rock & roll and when he was 15, joined his first band, The Continentals, which also had Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, and Nash fame. Around this time he also met Bernie Leadon, later one of the founding members of the Eagles. Bernie replaced Stills and the band became the Maundy Quintet.
