Eagles Guitarist Hosts Clinic at Sweetwater
Legendary Eagles guitarist Don Felder recently visited Sweetwater's facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
A long-time Sweetwater customer, Felder presented a full-day workshop for 15 aspiring songwriters.
"It was a very free-flowing conversation," said Christopher Guerin, VP of corporate communications. "We had [the participants] sitting in a circle. He came in and said, 'what can I tell you about songwriting?' And he was just peppered with questions for 8 hours."
"It was a full-day session, and they had a little party at the end of the day," Guerin continued. "We wanted it to be an intimate experience."
Felder also recorded the 100th episode of Sweetwater's Guitars and Gear video program with Sweetwater editorial director Mitch Gallagher. That evening, Felder performed with Mitch's Eagle's Tribute Band to a packed house.
