Yes! This is a classic, Joe gets progressively hammered throughout this video, we used to play this over and over in the Guitar Center I worked at, Legendary!!!
Years ago, I heard an interview of either a record producer, or another musician, talking about working with studio musicians. They said Joe was one of the best studio guys ever. You played the demo for him once, played the tune with him once, then hit Record. Complete natural musician.
God Dammit! I take about five mins to do what they did in 30 seconds. My brother told me to always wrap the string under about three times before tightening it. Who else did or does this? Been doing that for 44 years. Live aqnd learn. I wish Joe never joined the fucking eagles. I hate that mainstream bullshit! I'm a Sabbath, Stooges Motorhead type guy. BUT I love talent and guitar players that have that music inside of them like joe, Tommy Bolin, Dave Mason, Rory Gallagher, Pat Travers, Johnny winters, Mark Farner, Leslie West. You know Guys who are music inside and out and play with soul and feeling. No Bruce- He had it once but that was a long time ago.
What I’ve always appreciated about Joe Walsh is that he truly is a minimalist; never over plays. People who play ever riff they know in every song lack creativity. Joe plays some iconic riffs though.
What is “ever riff they know?” Does Coltrane lack creativity? How about Mozart? Minimalism is great and works just fine-you don’t have to dog fifty musicians to praise one. How about, he skins a cat just fine, and leave it there 😂.
well he was being paid or expecting to be paid from sales I'm sure. highly unlikely he just did it for fun or to further the world of guitar education in the early 90s
Along with a dozen other guitarists, you make it sound like Joe Walsh came up with the idea of the recorded guitar instructional. Believe it or not there was a world before RUclips.
The tip about how he leaves a bit of length on the string, then bends it down to make it impossible to poke yourself, is genius. So simple, yet, I've never seen that before. That makes a lot of sense. Anyone else have cats that like to rub their face on the guitar tuners while you play? It always worries me they're going to get poked by a string.
Thanks for posting this. I love Joe..... he's been to Hell and back, and still lights it up. He's a natural, thru and thru. Huge inspiration. Tone. The list goes on. American hero.
I actually got to see Joe play his last gig in a bar, on the south side of Cleveland, Ohio, the day before he and the James Gang guys went to L.A. to record their first album. I'll never get to share that memory with Joe, but he is Cleveland's favorite rocker. ;-)
Joe is that character that is always up and ready for a good time and can always put a smile on your face keep on rockin Joe you are one of the good ones
RIGHT HAND WATCH THE RIGHT HAND ANYONE CAN DO THE LEFT HAND STUFF !! I went to a JJ Cale concert and I was up close to JJ up on stage and I'll never forget I was mesmerized by the way his right hand was strumming and trying to hear the results. To this day I think about him playing that guitar he put together with what he wanted and needed . After the show I hung out and got to say hello and he shook my hand twice and was a very kind and peaceful man . Oh yeah one of the BEST shows I ever attended. And I've seen alot going back to the Filmore East shows .
Does ANYBODY remember Star Licks? This and random tablature in guitars books and mags was ALL we had to learn from back in the early 80s, but we figured it out
I had Star Lick vhs tapes, guitar books, magazines but my pride and joy were the cassette tapes from Homespun that Happy Traum started. I would order the tapes and Happy would send them, usually with an encouraging note included.
Love Joe and his humor. I was actually surprised he seemed sober to start the video but he may have had a few shots as things went on. Glad he got sober and he’s still with us! Such a icon and a huge part of this era.
Excellent insight into Joe and his sound. Tom Kolb did a great job pulling us into Joe’s inner workings , while getting Joe to open up and share himself. Excellent piece that will stand the rest of time.
In my opinion the best guitar playing Joe ever recorded was on James Gang Live In Concert. 1971. He’s on fire throughout and the tone runs from silky and bluesy to raw and heavy. Incredible feel and fire. If you haven’t heard it, check it out. 👍🏼
I was very fortunate to have attended that amazing concert, in 1971 at Carnegie Hall in NYC! I was only 15 years old. Of the countless hundreds of concerts I've been to over the years, that was one of the best and most memorable. I stood in the front, right by the stage, directly in front of the massive P.A. system... It was, to say the least, very loud. In fact, I FELT the music as much as I could hear it. I was thrilled to be able to relive that incredible, magical night again and again, after the release of, "The James Gang -Live In Concert" I consider it one of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded... up there with, "Live at Leads" and "The Allman Brothers - Live At Fillmore East". To me, Joe Walsh is a guitar god! I was also at the Fillmore East the night, "Dereck and the Dominos - Live At The Fillmore" was recorded... But that's a whole 'nother story...
@RIO RUSTY RSTUDS I heard a lot of stories about those days from a buddy who was there. Don Felder, the Leadon brothers, the Mudcrutch members...I think Stephen Stills may have even spent some time up there. Quite a talent pool all lived in proximity to that one park downtown. Did you get all your gear from Dub's too?
This reminds me of that odd streaming show "Drunk History"- anybody seen it? Except this is a professional partyier in the zenith of his 24/7 high period explaining the unexplainable quite clearly while also being utterly blasted. That you for your service Joe!!!
There's a scene in that Weird Al movie (UHF) where a bum comes up to him and says "Change? Got any change, mister?" Sounds exactly like a drunk Joe Walsh. Search for "UHF Got change Mister" on RUclips and see for yourself.
Nope, that’s just the way Joe is. Which is a good thing because if he really IS hammered, people will say “Nope, that’s just the way Joe is.” Win-win don’t ya’ see
Awesome! This will help my guitar playing. My fingers will not make make most chord shapes, so the explanation of G and E tuning opens up a lot of possibilities. Informative and fun video.
Hi i just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my Journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day👋♥️💖
@@joewalsh6633 I have been enjoying you & your guitar style since 1968 when I was just a preteen.. at 12.. I bought James Gang records and adored your music with James Gang especially 70’s.. watching you create the unique awesome sounds.. your guitar, your voice.. your rock and roll character just made my world a really fun place to grow up!
Amazingly there are a lot of great tips in this video - I assume everyone has also seen Joe's 5 part guitar set up and his Q&A videos done more recently, and while sober - worth seeing if you haven's.
2:27 - that moment Joe Walsh thinks "Hey, this ain't no Les Paul ..its one of those pointy headed 80's monstrosities!" Gotta love Joe, the guys battled his demons, wrote and played some fantastic music, sang his ass off, come out the other side of addiction ..and all along managed to maintain his humour and perspective on life. Inspirational stuff. And naturally, he made a cool and unique guitar instructional :-)
Never use WD40 on pots. The reason pots get scratchy is due to not using them. Use DeOxit instead because it cleans and lubricates or just turn them back and forth until the scratchy goes away .
Loved seeing his rendition of help me through the night, always surprised he could play it without his emotions getting in the way due to his daughters loss :(
I saw Joe with the James Gang in the seventies and He used a Marshall head with a 4-12 Hi Watt cab with The Who stenciled on the back of it. Sounded Epic!!!!!
I totally agree with Joe when it comes to technology. I too am an analog man in a digital world. It's all about what Keith Richards said about "The right guitar and the right amp" no truer words were ever spoken.

It’s unlikely anyone would really notice the cent or two but when intonating a guitar you don’t want it on the bench, the guitar should be intonated in playing position if you truly want perfect intonation while playing. Also when adjusting the neck it’s best to trust your measurements more than your eyes. We all do it we look down and up the fretboard and check the relief that is usually fine to tell if it needs adjustment but before doing it take measurements then an eight of a turn and check measurements repeat as needed. Because I have worked on a lot of guitars from people that didn’t quite understand this I am going to mention it. TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT for adjusting the action of the guitar. If adjusted properly a truss rod should never break or reach the end of its usefulness (assuming the guitar was not abused or made of cardboard) the truss rod on a guitar should outlive you. If you have a guitar that has no adjustment left on the truss rod it’s likely that at some point somebody tried to adjust the action with it, don’t do this. Action is adjusted at the nut and the bridge taking measurements and making very fine adjustments particularly at the nut because material is easy to remove but not so easy to put back there are tricks to add material but generally speaking if you take too much off then it means cutting a new nut, not really expensive but not something to do yourself unless you really know what you are doing. As for replacing pots verses cleaning that’s up to you but if it’s a vintage guitar it’s best to leave everything in factory condition and if it belonged to someone famous and the electronics are custom I will smack your fingers with a ruler if you try to pull out the pots. I am not a great player but I am a great guitar tech. Ultimately it’s your instrument so learn how to maintain it or just go to a respected shop and pay for set ups and maintenance. New guitars are never set up perfectly I don’t care how much they cost they all need a proper set up and old guitars should be maintained meticulously to make sure they get older. That’s my two cents on things.
Joe did another video on how to set up a Les Paul and Man My Guitar played good ,but when I got done doing what Joe did wow my 1993 lespaul is sweeeeeeeet
Joe Walsh. Him and Ringo...are the nicest guys in Rock-N-Roll. And they just happen to be brother-in-laws. Absolutely zero ego...100 percent...all heart.
Why do you say drugs? Don't you think eccentric people are for real? I know people like this. If they were on drugs, I don't they would be playing this good bro,
@Steve LOL you just made me recall a concert where I went to see Joe except *I* *was* *the* *one* that didn't show up. I think it was his first solo tour, and he was opening for Eric Clapton in '74 at a race track in West Palm, FL. Unfortunately it was on a 2 lane road west of town where nothing was out there but nothing. So all traffic was from I-95 (to the east), including me and my friends, and in no time the road was at a standstill. Eventually people were stopped on the westbound lane AND both shoulders ...where they just decided to abandon their vehicles and walk. We did the same and I figure we walked a couple of miles with this entire woodstock-like migration ...with no speedway even in sight. So we sadly turned around and walked back to our vehicle just in time to save it from being towed (among some very angry PBC deputies). I heard later that they eventually did play but started hours late, maybe because the crowd couldn't get there...maybe because they couldn't either. Never have seen Joe to this day. I passed on an invite to the James Gang reunion a few years ago. It turned out to be $125 for a 65 minute show. :-(
@@LightningDogg you could have seen a drunk Eric Clapton. With Joe Walsh opening up, I would have went and walked back stoned as hell looking for my car. And, then the next day write a funny song about that crazy night in 1974.
If your not that good…..get into G tuning. 🤣 He shows you don’t have to be a musical genius to make a decent song. This video is underrated. The guy shows you so much REAL life tips that anyone can use. I love Joe cause he is just so real and humble. If you haven’t seen it watch him at Daryl’s place. Awesome.
Precious to watch Joe Walsh trolling Gibson and Tom Kolb. They contracted him to make a guitar lesson video and he demonstrated them a whole show of his liking. Great soul!!
the advice about finding the lowest note you can sing and then discovering what that is on a piano is absolutely brilliant. It's not perfect, but that would get you close.
I believe joe sobered up the NEXT year after this, in 94... The first record I ever got was James Gang greatest hits...played it on my Fisher price turntable back in 76, for reels bro 😎
Indeed, Joe was told by Henley and Frey that he had to get clean in order to be part of the Eagles reunion in 1994. Don Felder has confirmed that in his autobiography and that he personally had to drive Joe to a rehab clinic in Santa Monica.
@@mitchelllevine5664 Joe may have said that, but the real reason was that he was told by Henley and Frey that he had to get totally clean in order to be part of the Eagles reunion in 1994.

I was thinking the same thing😂
I'm way too sober for this video.
Indian Summer is one of my favorite songs. Joe is so talented and such a nice guy. So glad he got his life straightened out!
Yes, but it has now been renamed “Native American Post Equinox Period”.
@@boataxe4605Haaa damn progressiveness lol

I hope he lives forever
I learned how to re-string my guitar from this video back in the day. I'm still doing it this way and my Les Paul stays perfectly in tune....
just strung up my eppy les paul like this curious to see how it works i got confidence
I just did it this way and I suddenly have a tonne of noise past the nut and more tension on my strings 🤷
God Dammit! I take about five mins to do what they did in 30 seconds. My brother told me to always wrap the string under about three times before tightening it. Who else did or does this?

Joe has always been talking like that, even today and he has been sober for decades. What a legend!
He was wasted.
@@plutoloco2378 Yeah, Joe finally got sober after Don and Glen came to him and told him to get right, or get out!
I love this, Joe is a great satirist with a great sense of humor. He plays piano like a wizard and is a great song writer too
What I’ve always appreciated about Joe Walsh is that he truly is a minimalist; never over plays. People who play ever riff they know in every song lack creativity. Joe plays some iconic riffs though.

It's so cool that he recorded these video lessons long before RUclips. He was ahead of his time. Still is!
well he was being paid or expecting to be paid from sales I'm sure. highly unlikely he just did it for fun or to further the world of guitar education in the early 90s
Along with a dozen other guitarists, you make it sound like Joe Walsh came up with the idea of the recorded guitar instructional. Believe it or not there was a world before RUclips.
Joe Walsh is amazing. He seems like the kind of guy, that would stop, and spend an hour teaching, anyone guitar, for free.
Yeah right! 😂 maybe for a couple of lines of coke.

Do tell!
How was it???
Thank you so much Joe for the intonation adjustment and the G tuning
The "Cathy's Clown" harmony lesson was worth the watch. The "ghost part".
The most essential guitar lesson video ever.
Joe is that character that is always up and ready for a good time and can always put a smile on your face keep on rockin Joe you are one of the good ones
Great lessons by Joe Walsh. So glad I found this one for sure.
Is there a DVD where Joe Walsh teaches us how to party? I know its out there somewhere. LEGEND. Smart as hell. Genius.
“Life‘s been good” has some clues…
I figured this is pretty much that

Thank God for all those starlicks recordings of the greats.
It's so refreshing to see a real '58 Les Paul treated like another guitar.
Right, you've got to beat up the electric guitar, make sure it knows its place.
Awsome video, and getting to watch a setup,as well as it being done up close,on a real 1958 Les paul burst was really cool.
Next time I'm replacing strings on my guitar, will be using this video as a guide. Absolute masters in this.
Does ANYBODY remember Star Licks?

I remembered having a star licks book about setting up a guitar!
Yes,star licks,big in the mid 80s
Oh yeah. I used to have Larry Carlton and Albert Lee.
Dr. Licks, first tab book I had.

I just can’t get enough Joe Walsh
Love Joe and his humor. I was actually surprised he seemed sober to start the video but he may have had a few shots as things went on. Glad he got sober and he’s still with us! Such a icon and a huge part of this era.
Amazing. Sponsored by gibson then shows him playing a Strat
Jason Keaton haha as good as gibson is they know they can't get that fender "chime"

Shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone.
Hahahaha,thats funny thats what i was thinking ...brought to you buy Gibson and Epiphone, then hes ripping a strat, hahahaha i love it
Gino Delucia Wow! You’re stupid. He has always played both Gibson and Fender dumb ass!!

For what it’s worth - Joe has been sober for about a quarter of a century now... and his playing has never been cleaner (no pun)
and not as interesting
He’s obviously wasted in this video.
OK Joe's definitely hammered in this video...

He is hammered on the old Carvin guitars promo DVD . Thissss gitarrrr is jessss greaaaaaatttt
A nice man and a true original master
Not sure if this was said earlier but pretty sure this is Giffin’s LA workshop which was also the Gibson Custom Shop until 1993

I’d use Fluid Film before WD40. And wouldn’t even feel right about that.
I met him once, via Seymour Duncan, in Vancouver BC. I shook his hand. OMG. The biggest mitt I've ever shaken, lol
Buncha bananas!!
Let me guess at the Town Pump in Gastown March of 92?

Ha ha...definitely 'In The Bag"! I don't think with Joe there is any other way...dude gets down and that's that.
1958 Les Paul with a buzzed Joe Walsh and some pliers. Scary.
nope
I was waiting for him to spray that WD-40 on that 58!
Buzzed !? More towards wrecked …i assumed it was his ,which is why they didnt take it away from him 😂
Joe is a national treasure. Love this man.
This was when cocaine was real grade A ang unadulterated
I'm not sure what his "just a pinch between your cheek and gum" was, but I'm thinking it wasn't coke. But I could be wrong.
He lost his license, now he don't drive.... but at least it gives him more time to make guitar videos...
Dude , this guy was using cocaine in his cheerios as a sugar substitute.
Why do you say drugs? Don't you think eccentric people are for real? I know people like this. If they were on drugs, I don't they would be playing this good bro,
@@TheJetfighter666 Joe freely says how coked up he was back then
Saw joe for 12 bucks at the fairgrounds in Detroit! I still remember it!
@Steve LOL you just made me recall a concert where I went to see Joe except *I* *was* *the* *one* that didn't show up. I think it was his first solo tour, and he was opening for Eric Clapton in '74 at a race track in West Palm, FL. Unfortunately it was on a 2 lane road west of town where nothing was out there but nothing. So all traffic was from I-95 (to the east), including me and my friends, and in no time the road was at a standstill. Eventually people were stopped on the westbound lane AND both shoulders ...where they just decided to abandon their vehicles and walk. We did the same and I figure we walked a couple of miles with this entire woodstock-like migration ...with no speedway even in sight. So we sadly turned around and walked back to our vehicle just in time to save it from being towed (among some very angry PBC deputies). I heard later that they eventually did play but started hours late, maybe because the crowd couldn't get there...maybe because they couldn't either. Never have seen Joe to this day. I passed on an invite to the James Gang reunion a few years ago. It turned out to be $125 for a 65 minute show. :-(
@@LightningDogg you could have seen a drunk Eric Clapton. With Joe Walsh opening up, I would have went and walked back stoned as hell looking for my car. And, then the next day write a funny song about that crazy night in 1974.
Joe and Ringo , now sober , best friends brother in laws , and they have a good families , We wish them the best.
If your not that good…..get into G tuning. 🤣 He shows you don’t have to be a musical genius to make a decent song. This video is underrated. The guy shows you so much REAL life tips that anyone can use. I love Joe cause he is just so real and humble. If you haven’t seen it watch him at Daryl’s place. Awesome.
Precious to watch Joe Walsh trolling Gibson and Tom Kolb. They contracted him to make a guitar lesson video and he demonstrated them a whole show of his liking. Great soul!!
Every student ive ever taught has got the same statement music is in your picking hand ❤
the advice about finding the lowest note you can sing and then discovering what that is on a piano is absolutely brilliant. It's not perfect, but that would get you close.
When I was a kid I would check these out at the library.
Its the best yull ever see mighty joe walsh please take care ...
what a legend!!! awesome

THE...authentic...Joe Cool. One of my favorite guitarists for all-time...and good good dude.
I believe joe sobered up the NEXT year after this, in 94...
The first record I ever got was James Gang greatest hits...played it on my Fisher price turntable back in 76, for reels bro 😎
He claimed he decided to get sober after he woke up in Paris one morning with no recollection of how he got there.
Great first album! 🎶🥰🎶
Indeed, Joe was told by Henley and Frey that he had to get clean in order to be part of the Eagles reunion in 1994. Don Felder has confirmed that in his autobiography and that he personally had to drive Joe to a rehab clinic in Santa Monica.
@@mitchelllevine5664 Joe may have said that, but the real reason was that he was told by Henley and Frey that he had to get totally clean in order to be part of the Eagles reunion in 1994. Don Felder has confirmed that in his autobiography „Heaven & Hell“ and that he personally had to drive Joe to a rehab clinic in Santa Monica.
@@danielfisch389 Few things seem more unlikely than a sober Joe Walsh, so more power to them.
That opening lick...one rif was on Don Henley Album.....in the beginning.....40 check it out
I am surprised that they filmed this with him in that kind of shape
Yea, it’s kind of hard to watch. He’s quite the character though.
😂😂😂
This is really informative. Thanks Joe.
So Joe locks the string at the tuning peg the way Martin recommends
What a legend. He was in low orbit and still killed it.
I remember my Les Paul going out of tune, this would have been 1992 I am guessing. This video changed everything.
I could watch him do this all day! He’s gotta be on something! lol Love his music, voice and playing!
