Gibson Guitar Tutorial: Joe Walsh - Guitar Setup (Part 4 of 6)

Legendary guitarist Joe Walsh delivered an exclusive masterclass for us at the Gibson showroom, in the heart of London. In this set of videos, Joe discusses his approach to getting the 'Joe Walsh' sound, looking at the Gibson Les Paul guitar, as well as hints and tips on how to set it up for the best sound and feel while playing.

Holy shit, Joe Walsh is a genius of guitars.

[liljgoneman]

Very cool. As a novice, it always seemed like voodoo to me, Joe cleared a LOT of that up with a few minutes of his time.  Thanks Joe!

Joe, Mr. Analog Man, You are the ONLY PERSON that i ever watched set up and intonate a guitar without a tuner or a Strobe, YOU HAVE GREAT EARS, you are the Man, Cousin Figel

[ambersalcove]

I have been wanting to get a guitar for a long time and it would be so much fun if Joe Walsh of the band The Eagles could teach me how to play one

I Love Joe & He's the Man.That Being said.On Video 1 or 2 He said you Need a Just a Little Bow in the Neck. Then he Turn's the Wrench Down. Which Everyone Know's will Release the Relief in the Neck & cause More Bow. Then He Tunes the Guitar & then put's More Bow in the Neck.Now we All Know, Depending on the Gauge of String's Your using Really determines Just How Much bow You'll Need. So That Didn't make Any Sense at all as to Joe Putting More Bow in the Neck Twice. Yeah, Their Afraid.♫

Ha ha, I had a Peterson Strobo Rack right besides my PC when I was watching this video & switched it on & turned up the monitors to see how accurate Joe was with pitch, intonation. Damn spot on! Wish I had ears like that....

[LetArtsLive]

i like this he's so funny too.I was lucky and saw him in the 70's at The bills stadium with 89, 000 people fleet wood mac foreigner Pablo cruise..

My try this out at my local guitar store, walk in with a bucket of tools and start adjusting the action and intonation 🤣🤣

[onpsxmember]

At the end of the video...adjust the bridge height without all the string tension on it.
Easier for you, easier for the bridge.
If the crapomatic can be adjusted with a screwdriver from the top, don't use the thumb wheels.
Use a screwdriver that fits perfectly in there, not the tinest wobble. If that's the case it will look the same after your adjustment without ruining the coating in there or even deforming it under tension.

Les Pauls are a pain in the ass to keep in tune. Sold mine and got a Suhr - locking tuners - graphite neck- stays in tune

[jamesvaldez]

If you Rock Guitar you must know Joe Walsh!!

[Lieutenant_Dude]

Is he playing the Micro Cube or the Marshall combo? The Marshall is on, but the Cube is mic'd.

[axslinger]

LOL, "Don't try that at home". Love ya, Joe.

[directvideo]

they are fun and entertaining. I just wish each clip was a bit longer so you dont lose the train of thought...

[Billyray]

Does the Big Letter's Confuse You? Whatever Man. ♫

[SirDavidHaddon]

HELLO JOE!    I want to paint a White & Black Gibson For You... Ever seen a dip paint job ?    Sir David Haddon New York, USA.

[joetosan]

Everyone seems to make that face when they are tuning.

[fjohnson]

Really! Why does Billy Ray go to so much trouble hitting the shift so much? And why does he overuse apostrophes with simple plural words, e.g., turn's, know's, put's, string's?

That just "Didn't make Any Sense at all".

[GEORGEZNEMETH]

LOVE the tutorials, BUT why is my Gibson Les Paul made in Chima????Total
