I’d argue that Joe Walsh is a better guitarist.....id add that Fry and Henley are not easy to get along with as well. But those two were clearly the core Eagles guysand Felder messed up when he tried fighting them about the pay. His anti Alan Cranston comments were in the 80s right? He was kicked out on 2000 or 2001 I believe.
IMHO Walsh’s best solo was his solo on Henley’s “Dirty Laundry”. (His was the first solo, Steve Lukather had the closing solo)
It would be a close contest between Walsh and Felder. IIRC Felder was good friends all the way back to high school days with Stills. The most versatile as far as instruments go of all the group? I’d have to say Leadon hands down.

Felder is incredible.
