I met Joe Walsh last month. I was at Yellowstone Ntl Pk, and I looked to my left…he was standing right beside me with his wife. Very cool experience. I didn’t nerd out too much, but I told him I was a big fan. He was cool and appreciated the sentiment
11:55 Another thing I like about playing slide in standard tuning is that playing across the D, G, and B strings will give you a major chord, while playing across the G, B, and high E will give you a minor chord. This is such a simple thing that it escaped me for years! 😃
A great player to emulate. Being as I've been emulating him since 1969 myself, you'll get a lot from his expression, and learning his licks. He's right up there.
your phrasing is brilliant. I love how you dip in and dip out of little cool riffs. It's as if your mind calculates "room for 1 and a half seconds of fill here" and then you just go get it. Really cool stuff.
You are a very wise man. its really great to listen to you play. I was 14 when James Gang put that out in 1970. I remember I used to play that when I wanted to look cool. Great trip down memory lane. I went to Rick's show and saw you on the street outside your hotel with a guitar case but didn't want to interrupt you. Im going to join the master class. Just need to carve out time to really get into it. Soon...
Tim, thank you so much for recognizing JOE WALSH I subscribe to your channel for a reason. As a player since 82, I appreciate your tutelage and stories. Joe was and is amazing. I had the privilege of meeting him a few times and wow, what a humble and friendly person. He most definitely had a style and flair in the James Gang and Joe Walsh Era. His DNA with the Eagles is obvious and was needed. I was privileged to see him play piano and keyboards at a show and told the people I was with... " See, I told you " Cheers Tim Joe, all the best
Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead songs lend themselves beautifully to major/ minor transitions. Sometimes just for a split second, but when done well it can be wonderful. As always Tim, you're an inspiration.
@@timpierceguitar Amen! Duane was the master at playing semitones on slide. I don't think he had a clue about Mixophrygiolian scales, either. I had to learn one part of the dual guitar lines in "Revival" when that song first came out, and I was always petrified that I'd botch it on stage. I still don't know whose line I played. The lead guitarist in the band just showed me my part and that was it.
Sorry for not posting a comment sooner, Tim, but I want you to know that I really loved this livestream. I enjoy all of your videos, of course, but this one is especially fun. Thanks for being there for all of us "work in progress" musicians/guitarists.
I like your Christmas day smile while you play. It shows your love of music. You and Rick Beato on his on air drum caveman fills..... Rock on brother !
I know it's a subjective thing, but when one loses their sight, does the brain truly compensate with a more acute sense of sound? Also, what apps or programs do you use to convert text to audio? thanks
When I started learning to play lead back around 1970, Johnny Winter And Live was my bible. Back then (no internet, no RUclips, no tabs ....) I just listened. I had no clue about pentatonic scales, much less major and minor. I just listened to him play and tried to copy it. It was years later when I realized how unique his approach was,. Especially in the seamless (and frequent) transitions between major and minor. Just listen to the first couple of minutes of "Its My Own Fault" - a masterclass lesson for sure!
Opening jam blistered my ear drum. I ran follow spot, for my very first time, on Joe Walsh, at the Carowinds Paladium, on a great night in the mid 80's. I was a split second late on one cue. It was hard to concentrate while listening so intently to one of my guitar heroes. Great content, TP.
Dude truly belongs in the RnR hall of fame by himself, not just as a member of the Eagles. Barnstorm, James Gang, solo, AND the Eagles? Joe is so underappreciated.
funk49 is one of my very earliest musical memories, cranked on vinyl, as my dad had the 72 Cutlass Supereme jacked up in front of the old farmhouse we lived in when i was young. excellent!!
Wow sometimes forget some of the Joe Walsh stuff but he certainly was the main drive for me to want to play guitar and love his music. Great cast Tim as ever hugely enthusiastic video! Sorry missed live.
Joe Walsh is Music: Ashes the Rain and I, … County Fair ,…. Midnight Man and that’s just me naming some of his (maybe) more obscure tracks , Let alone all of the obvious great one’s and Long Before he joined Eagles. He was always such a musical player and a MASTER of Great Guitar Sounds ..He Really was/is the Full Package and also an Underrated Singer , A Truly Gifted Artist and they just don’t make em like that anymore.. A true one of a kind ……..❤️⭐️🌞👍🏻🙏
Joe Walsh is a guitar genius and has always been my favorite player, going back to the 60's hanging around Kent State and watching before the James Gang. IMO, nobody could touch what he has done in the world of guitar.
One interview I saw with Joe, he said he was 'pretty sure' they used the Tele track thru a 6" Tweed Champ. Then he talked about how unique a 6" speaker sounds. I just always figured he meant 8" speaker. It sounded like they recorded it with several different guitars, and chose the Tele. Joe also said Duane Allman taught him slide. I was lucky & saw the James Gang 5 nites in a row in Aug. 1969. He was all Les Paul & Marshall. Funk 49 hit it's peak in Oct. '69. Great one. Joe gets overlooked alot, but I know alot of guitar players that love him.
Being a local guitar player from Cleveland, Ohio! Learning this song was a absolutely standard and everything you’ve said is 100% on the money. Joe Walsh is baddddd assssss!! Rock on from the 216!! 🤟🏻
Playing slide in standard tuning is a must know skill. It's harder because unlike chord and modal tunings you have to play and mute very accurately. Also using the slide on the pinky finger makes it easier to mute and you can also use your index and middle fingers to fret notes behind the slide to make minor, dom7 chords etc.
My favorite Joe Walsh song is Pretty Maids All In A Row. That's one of the most beautiful pieces of songwriting ever and especially ironic given the fact that it comes from one of the dudes with the reputation as one of the craziest dudes ever in rock.
Tim, 2 things: 1) Whenever Funk #49 comes on, and I have control over the music somehow, I’ve been known to repeat it around 10 times. Love this song; thanks for giving it such a great break down. I’m happy to read it was done on a Tele, my favorite guitar. 2) I’m still such a beginner, but I love watching your take on all things guitar and your sheer joy at playing it. I continue to watch your stuff, hoping a tad will rub off on me. Thanks for your time.
I learned the main "Funk 49" riff a while back, and I recorded a little video and sent it to my sister. She said, "Wow, that's a great rendition of 'Footloose!'" Then, I said, ", back to the drawing board." Tim: Man, you were doing serious burning - you were ON yesterday!
Excellent topic and great video Tim! I used to get stuck on either major or minor until I really started studying music and realizing the impact of certain notes against chords; 2, 6, 3, 7 which natural or dominant can bring so much expression to the chords thats being played over. For me it was players such as Rik Emmett and Neal Schon who would always play against the chords never restricting themselves to the key of the song. A perfect example of this is "Mother Father" by Journey and "Fight the good fight".
Talk about mixing major and minor, I would love to get your take on Michael Schenker and his soloing. To me, he's massively underappreciated but an absolute master.
Guy was born a genius, Hes not some metal guy, shredder etc.... at what he does, no 1 touches him. Maybe Randy Rhoads who I believe learned a bit from Schenker+Blackmore, Melodically, hes like a composer. His solos are like songs by themselves. just my op
I saw Schenker in '77 with UFO as the opening act for Rush at Cobo Arena in Detroit. Been a Schenker fan ever since. He is phenomenal and melodic; the fast stuff and the slow stuff.
Ooooh. Dorian/Myx. I missed that comment first few times I listened to this. No wonder I was fighting it a bit. That's a much easier major/minor "toggle" for me. So good, Tim. So good.
BTW Tim, I'm not a beginner but that course you have for beginners is just fantastic. The approach makes so much sense. I sure WISH I had access to something like that back in 1964.
Tim, please do a series on Guitarland! It's my favorite guitar instrumental album ever!! It's the most touch sensitive, dynamic playing I've ever heard!! I'm sure I'm not the only one. Plus, others need to know about this masterpiece!! I'd like to learn some of the amazing licks and runs, and hear you talk about how you got your tone and wrote the songs...
Burning playing Tim!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man happy birthday! everybody, join up with Ricks live stream tomorrow on his birthday :)
heads@@timpierceguitar thanks for the heads up on Rick's B-day
Rick!
Rick. Thoughts on Landau in regards to this subject?
Yes!!!

Holy moly! I hadn't caught that
Joe Walsh is one of my all time faves on many dimensions.
Joe Walsh rocks out ... HARD ! And is a knowledgable and inspiring teacher !
Joe Walsh is my main influence!! I've been playing guitar for 13 years and he's been my BIGGEST impact as far as my playing.
A great player to emulate. Being as I've been emulating him since 1969 myself, you'll get a lot from his expression, and learning his licks. He's right up there.
I keep thinking ...when is he gonna quit the temp Eagles gig and get back to his band :) yes i is old
@@888jimm I would LOVE to see a James Gang reunion tour
Same here, for 50 years. I was watching and learning when he was going to Kent State.
You are all right, brother. Your enthusiasm is so contagious.
Joe is absolutely one of the best in my book, and the guy that continues to amaze me. All day long.
The breakdown riff is insane - bending strings, hammer-ons, chicken picking tele…I’m still practicing it after all these years!
When you're playing, your joy truly comes through.
your phrasing is brilliant. I love how you dip in and dip out of little cool riffs. It's as if your mind calculates "room for 1 and a half seconds of fill here" and then you just go get it. Really cool stuff.

Your videos make me smile Tim. Thanks!
I saw yesterdays lesson too didn't have a chance to say how fortunate we are you'r so generous with you'r time. Thank You!
Your solo at 8:53 was pretty damn amazing. Joe would love it, I think. I sure did.
that was some fire
LOVE the Tuttle. Great video Tim thanks for taking the time for us. 👊🏻
I started using eights a couple months ago. I love em. The tone is there no matter what strings you use.
Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead songs lend themselves beautifully to major/ minor transitions. Sometimes just for a split second, but when done well it can be wonderful. As always Tim, you're an inspiration.
Chicago blues..
You're totally right! ..and... I need to do an Allman Brothers video!
@@timpierceguitar I second that idea 💡
@@timpierceguitar Amen!

Thank you so much Tim, when I watch your videos I always learn something new.
Tim! You're really digging in there and having yourself a blast! Great song for learning major/minor. Thank you. :)
Thanks so much appreciate it
That outro smacks of "cast your fate to the wind", you sly devil...!!!
Bro you NAILED the tone
That intro is awesome, Tim !!! Excellent picking !!!
Glad you like it!
As usual Tim….just love all the insights you share…this is one of my fav Joe’s track!
Joe Walsh is amazing in so many ways.
Tim - what a DELIGHT hearing you rip it like that!!!! I could take a 21 minute video of you just jamming out to stuff and listen to it over and over.
One of my all time favorite guitar jams!! Killer tone and tasty licks as always Tim!!
Love me some Joe Walsh and Tim Pierce!
Love the juicy tones!

Wasn't really interested in learning this song, after watching this vid, now I am for sure learning it. that looks like fun, thanks for sharing!
Hey Tim,
Catching the replay. Love me some Joe Walsh.
This is sooo Awsome Tim! I love the loose style and the leads are mind blowing!🔥🔥
I like your Christmas day smile while you play. It shows your love of music.
You and Rick Beato on his on air drum caveman fills.....
Rock on brother !
This is the coolest lead work I've heard you do!
As a blind player, I use a lot of conjunct motion. When I make big jumps up the fretboard, it is hit or miss.
I know it's a subjective thing, but when one loses their sight, does the brain truly compensate with a more acute sense of sound?
Also, what apps or programs do you use to convert text to audio? thanks
My iPhone has a little button that says “dictate“. As for the other, you would have to ask another.

So cool Joe Walsh was so unusual and fun
Killer playing Tim love that improv...
Playing Joes part in "Funk 49", I love it!
Rides Again, again, and again…, a genre that can’t be ignored because of the innovators of style!
Awesome Tim!! Thankyou.
Joe Walsh had so much soul stank in that track it's just crazy. The man was a walking funk machine.
Opening jam blistered my ear drum. I ran follow spot, for my very first time, on Joe Walsh, at the Carowinds Paladium, on a great night in the mid 80's. I was a split second late on one cue. It was hard to concentrate while listening so intently to one of my guitar heroes. Great content, TP.
I love the content and dive into this stuff but...I mostly just come to hear Your Playing!! Thanks!
Tim is The MAN!!!
Huge fan of Joe Walsh!! Huge fan of Tim Pierce!!
Tim Pierce is one of my favourite humans. 😀🏴
Yes, Joe is one amaaaazing dude!! He seems very humble, too.
Great example and lesson. This one kicked the door open for me. Taught me how to hear it.
Dude truly belongs in the RnR hall of fame by himself, not just as a member of the Eagles. Barnstorm, James Gang, solo, AND the Eagles? Joe is so underappreciated.
Not by other guitar players. We all know what Joe Walsh is. And his knowledge is second to none.
This is a master class all in itself. Thanks man 👍 good health and God bless
"You don't have to be tight at all!"
Then why is your timing so extremely accurate?
Beautiful playing, Joe and Tim!
Nice to see you with the Tuttle Tele, I love my Tuttle Strat

The Telecaster bridge/pickup design came straight off Fender's early lap steels. It's why Telecasters bite and twang so nicely!
Saw Joe with the James Gang in Autumn 1970. (Bob Seger Band opened.) He played a sunburst Les Paul throughout the entire show.
oh man l could watch Tim play all day long..

Love that gnarly tone.

Fantastic!
