Excuse my ignorance, but what is that fantastic riff he plays at 2:24-3:00?
I guessed it was something from Road To Forever;

Thanks. Road To Forever was my first thought, but I've heard the album once and the riff didn't ring a bell. I'm shocked that this killer riff didn't catch my ear first time around. With the intro drum beat the riff has a Fuckin' Up (Neil Young) vibe. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvRmBUEwtZg)
EDIT:
Just listened to the studio version and I noticed why it didn't grab me. I like the riff more when Don plays a one-note version of it lower (on the A-string) with distortion. It's not like that on the record.
Oops. I've fixed the second link in my original post but here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3_qP27CJWA
Thanks!
Thank you for the Ernie Ball video, UtW! I didn't know the Eagles had a sponsorship from the company. I liked what DF had to say about his creative process too.
Holy Frampton, he plays a vocoder/talk box thingie!
Gotta love how he managed to throw Hotel California in there, again. He wanted to demonstrate a minor 3rd bend and the HC solo happens to start with one. :mrgreen:
(Incidentally, it was cool that he didn't play HC in the first clip, but some more recent stuff.)
Mr. Felder tries out some Ernie Ball effects pedals. Spoiler alert: he likes them. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTVXVf1PZ8M
