[!NOTE] Le saviez-vous ? Sur l’enregistrement studio, Don Felder utilise une guitare acoustique 12 cordes avec un capodastre à la 7ᵉ case. Cela lui permet de jouer des formes d’accords ouverts de guitare (Em, B7, Asus2, etc.) qui résonnent de manière très haute et cristalline, tandis que Joe Walsh plaque les accords barrés plus bas.
