Early life and influences

---

Don Felder was first attracted to music after watching Elvis live on the Ed Sullivan show. He got his first guitar when he was around 11, which he is believed to have exchanged with a friend for a handfull of cherry bombs. He was heavily influenced by rock & roll and when he was 15, joined his first band, The Continentals, which also had Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, and Nash fame. Around this time he also met Bernie Leadon, later one of the founding members of the Eagles. Bernie replaced Stills and the band became the Maundy Quintet.

After the band broke up, Felder went to New York with a band called Flow, which released a single jazz album. While in New York, Felder improved his mastery of the guitar and learned various styles.
