David Lindley (born 1944 in San Marino, California ) is an American Guitarist and Multi-instrumentalist (his instruments include a variety of stringed instruments such as Banjo , Lap Steel Guitar , Violin , Oud , Cittern , Bouzouki , Saz , and Cümbüş ). During 1966 to 1970 he was part of the eclectic Psychedelic band Kaleidoscope . He is well-known as a "lead guitarist for hire," particularly for West Coast rock musicians of the 1970s , having played with Jackson Browne (for which he is probably most known), Warren Zevon , Linda Ronstadt , James Taylor , David Crosby , Terry Reid , Graham Nash , Bob Dylan , and Rod Stewart . He has also collaborated with fellow guitarists Ry Cooder and Henry Kaiser , and led his own band, 'El Rayo X.'
