Arguably this song features the most cited guitar playing in the history of rock music. The duet between Joe Walsh and Don Felder redefined the Eagles' sound and led to their greatest stardom and first demise when Walsh grew tired of playing it every night, year after year. Because it's a duet with precision doubling, there was little room for improvisation which restricted Joe and almost drove him insane. When he quit the Eagles he claimed he'd never play it again until "Hell freezes over". In 1994 the band reunited for the "Hell Freezes Over" tour and debuted a new acoustic version of the song that delighted fans and relaunched the band. Never has a guitar part been more iconic and blissful.
