Here's Joe Walsh story. In the early 1980's I lived n the mountains west of Boulder Colorado -- up on Sugarload Mountain Road. Early one Sunday morning in the winter there was a knock-knock-knock on the front door. I opened the door and I immediately recognized that the person at the front door was Joe Walsh. He looked like he'd been at a party all night where he couldn't leave because he couldn't find the door. He asked me if I would help him get his Mercedes out of the snowy ditch along the road in front of the house. I grabbed a shovel and snow shovel and followed him across the road. Joe took the snow shovel and I used the shovel and we dug all the snow from around and under the car. Then I dug a path back up to the road. Joe was slipping and sliding and falling down in the snow and having a good ol' time. Then Joe got into the car and shifted back and forth from drive to reverse and I pushed the car -- finally the car broke loose and made it back up to the road. Joe shook my hand and said "Thanks" and motored on down Sugarloaf Road towards Boulder.
@@12footchain I was just being a helpful neighbor even though he actually lived in Boulder and must've been partying up at a house in the mountains. . An actual neighbor was Ritchie Furay which was cool because I was such a Buffallo Springfield fan in high school I wore a Stetson hat and cowboy boots and fringe leather jacket even though I grew up in a SoCal beach town. Anyway, glad to see you're getting subscrbers. You're one of the best on RUclips.
Love it. People love to talk about this or that guitarist being "underrated", and usually it's someone who's great but not necessarily a household name as a great guitarist. Elliott Easton is the epitome of the most often-mentioned underrated guitarist. This makes him the guitarist most celebrated for his underrated-ness, the poster child of underrated guitarists. In the Cars Hall of Fame induction, he even said "I guess this means I'm finally rated." Walsh rarely gets mentioned in "underrated" conversations. He's super-famous, he was in the freakin' Eagles, he played the solo (along with Don Felder) on "Hotel California" fer crissakes. Yet he remains under-mentioned in the pantheon of great guitarists. But he also seldom gets mentioned as underrated. This makes him the most underrated at being underrated guitarist.
The enjoyment you bring is outstanding week after week & in such a humble way. Who knew today would be this much fun ? Sorry Doug, if you had to melt doing this for us. Thank you, sir. From Les's hometown.
Just fantastic, Joe has always been a guitar hero of mine. Attended many shows, Ringo's All Star Band with Todd Rundgren Dave Edmonds and Joe walks out on stage with a big Pink bunny suit playing a big drum. I don't want to work I want to bang on the drum all day. Top shelf as always ♪♫♪♫♪♫
Excellent work! Always loved this song. Interesting about the 10" speaker thing with a Telecaster guitar - your sound is spot on! Joe Walsh was recently playing in Stephen Cobert Late Show band - he rocked out and clearly still enjoys playing. Joe Walsh is one of my fav guitar players.
The little acoustic guitar chord break in th middle reminds me of the piano part in Neil Young "s Buffalo Springfield suite "Broken Arrow ". Great guitar song by Joe just the same
Really good lesson, I've played this one for years. It is alleged (verified?) that a Cooper Time Cube is used on the main riff, adding to the body of the sound and the double tracking effect.
Love your channel....is there any way you can do Hangman's Knee by Jeff Beck? Its an awesome song, never found a tutorial on it. You would be the only one to pop up in a search...just saying. Even if you dont do it, if you have not heard it check it out. Rod Stewart does vocals. Only discovered it a year or 2 ago when I got Spotify
12ft, would really appreciate it if you could look at Neil Young’s “the losing end” Absolutely nothing accurate out there and I’m sure you can crack the code. THANKS!
which is why within the first minute I tell you exactly where to go to to start seeing the lessons on parts. others appreciate the context, I get others don't but come on man, use the slider, use the chapters - I tell you all that right up front.

Awesome story! Did you ask if he was joe walsh or have any conversation about that? Or just neighbor human helping neighbor human?

I now know where my old albums ended up! Your taste in music is stellar!
At least you know where they went! Sorry, with all the nonsense going on, I just needed to say something that might be amusing?😅

One of the best songs, and you nailed his tone.

My guitar playing has finally become enjoyable. I can play about what I want to, pick it up and understand it, just like bass.
That's awesome!
So cool! Love Joe walsh... thak you so much for that top quality lesson. Won’t you someday breakdown Tony Joe White songs ? Cheers 🍺
That was fantastic! I was just a little concerned that you didn't talk about the importance of facial expressions. I caught myself making them.
Really good lesson, I've played this one for years. It is alleged (verified?) that a Cooper Time Cube is used on the main riff, adding to the body of the sound and the double tracking effect.
I always thought he used a Gretsch on that track. Great lesson!
Fabulous-mind you've you've opened a can of worms with Joe walsh-so many great songs with interesting arrangemnets-"Welcome to the Club"-???
I love the line in the song .. ""ain't never been there tell me its nice !!!😂

If you haven't seen the Funk 49 song performance on Howard Stern do it now.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
His connection with Jimmy Page and the Les Paul guitar is an interesting story.
Yo.would love to see a live yakyak.
What's that?
uh-oh, here comes a flock of wah wahs
Walsh was a mess but wrote such catchy seemingly playable stuff. Would be amazing if you did "I Like Big Tits" & his part of Henley's "Dirty Laundry".
12ft, would really appreciate it if you could look at Neil Young’s “the losing end” Absolutely nothing accurate out there and I’m sure you can crack the code. THANKS!
Thanks! Great solo as well
Fans give a tremelo effect.
