Sweetwater Studios Host Don Felder

Fort Wayne, IN, December 19, 2016 — Sweetwater recently was thrilled to have Don Felder, the former Eagles guitarist, in Studio A of Sweetwater Studios as part of a sold-out Recording Master Class re-recording the song "Hotel California."

Song co-author Don Felder and Sweetwater Studios' own Mark Hornsby took the participants through the process of recording Don's iconic guitar parts on the hit song.

Those attending the Recording Master Class had a great time, both during the workshop and at a dinner with Don and Mark. Here are just a couple of quotes from participants: Louis, from Taunton, Massachusetts, said, "It was a first-class experience all the way through, and I am grateful to Sweetwater for making this opportunity available to all of us. Don and Mark were tremendous with whom to work!" And Renee, from Vashon, Washington, sent this message: "It was a great pleasure to meet you and watch you work on 'Hotel California.' I can't believe how much material you actually covered in the class. Very impressive."

This event was part of an ongoing series of Recording Master Classes being held in Sweetwater Studios. More than 500 customers from all over the world have attended these workshops. Recent guest artists include Rick Nielsen, Carl Verheyen, Jordan Rudess, Russ Taff, Mike Keneally, Adrian Belew, Kenny Aronoff, Spyro Gyra, Brent Mason, Fastball, and Richie Faulkner.
