Which Eagles song ends with a guitar solo by Don Felder and Joe Walsh?

“Hotel California” is the Eagles song that ends with a guitar solo by Don Felder and Joe Walsh.

The extended coda is one of the recording’s defining features. Felder and Walsh trade lead-guitar phrases, then join in harmonized lines and arpeggios as the track fades out. The solo lasts roughly two minutes on the album version, helping make the six-minute-plus recording unusually expansive for a major radio single.

Felder developed the instrumental foundation, while Don Henley and Glenn Frey helped shape the lyrics and arrangement. The band recorded the song in several sessions before settling on the released performance, and producer Bill Szymczyk edited together numerous sections. Walsh had joined the Eagles after Bernie Leadon left in 1975, placing the two guitarists together for this signature finale.

A common mix-up is crediting the entire song to one guitarist. Felder wrote the music, but the closing passage is a collaboration between Felder and Walsh. “Hotel California” appeared on the 1976 album of the same name and won the Grammy for Record of the Year in 1978.
