Joe Walsh Style Guitar Lick in A | Country Blues-Rock Style

Joe Walsh is an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. In a career spanning more than 50 years, he has been a member of five successful rock bands: James Gang, Barnstorm, Eagles, the Party Boys, and Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.
Walsh has also experienced success both as a solo artist and as a prolific session musician, being featured on a wide array of other artists' recordings. In 2011, Rolling Stone placed him at the No. 54 spot on its list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Among his hits are Funk #49, Rocky Mountain Way, Life’s Been Good, and All Night Long. Of course he also played with the Eagles and combined with Don Felder to play perhaps the most iconic guitar solo ever: Hotel California.
His creative contribution to music has received praise from many of the best rock guitarists, including Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, who said, "He has a tremendous feel for the instrument. I've loved his style since the early James Gang." Eric Clapton said that "He's one of the best guitarists to surface in some time. I don't listen to many records, but I listen to his." The Who's guitarist, Pete Townshend, said "Joe Walsh is a fluid and intelligent player. There're not many like that around."

Good lesson - Joe Walsh bends, slides, and note choices are always on point ...

[caleshtcincredibles]

That is a super cool lick, I love Joe's style and you nailed it here . Thanks !

[geemac]

Very cool! Joe Walsh is maybe my greatest influence. Blues, country, rock, funk. He can do it all. Thanks for the great content, Mark.

Joe Walsh. His 'Life In The Fast Lane' riff made the song memorable and brought The Eagles to a different level. As always Mark - Thanks for the video. Every time I watch one of your videos I tell my wife ' I want one in that color '. So, she bought me a variety of different colored shirts!! I should have been clearer.

Love your taste in music Mark. Anything you cover by Joe Walsh, Eliot Easton, or Keith Richards is greatly appreciated.

[MrBhamm]

Nice lesson Mark, I’m a fan of Joes from his days with the James Gang, they used to play local clubs in the greater Cleveland area.

[yomanb]

Yes please, more joe Walsh! Great video.

[seanfitzpatrick]

Yes, I'd love for you to do the whole solo...

[mononoaware]

Awesome video man! This was posted on my birthday haha damn good present, Joe is one of my favorite players. Watched your video on Framptons Lines on My Face, love your no bullshit approach to teaching the licks. Right to the point and direct, never thought I’d be able to learn All Good People by Steve Howe but was able to with how you break things down. More Joe Walsh would be greatly appreciated specifically his James Gang work, he’s a master of feel and tone and has a such a powerful distinct style. Maybe something like his covers of Bluebird or Lost Woman. Peace!

I'd love to see a full solo on this....thanks

[lreadlResurrected]

Joe Walsh is awesome. Full stop.
Great lesson, Mark. Also full stop.
Last time I saw him was in 2013 when he opened for Bob Seger in Chicago. Best. Opening. Act. Ever.
And, hey, the video clip of it I put on my channel has - are you ready - 7 whole views. :-)

There are times during the outro of “you’re all i’ve got tonight” by the cars when elliot easton is soloing and it sounds like he is winking at Joe. Love the sound of your solo.

[TheElrondo]

I'm totally "Overwalshed" 😆
That lick is very versatile.
Could also be used in "Rockabilly" context very well.
Tomorrow will be my last live stream appeareance for a longer time.
Next hospital weeks come up for me. I'm happy to see you all tomorrow.

Nice lesson played on a really cool guitar. Hey Mark, that guitar show I told you about last weekend was great. I had a feeling it would be good as soon as I walked in and saw signs posted stating "Absolutely no playing Stairway To Heaven!"

[stephenmichalski]
