That grin he gives before breaking into Rocky Mountain Way...What a legend.

That's one of the most beautiful versions of Amazing Grace I've heard.

Thx Joe🎸

That was just amazing. His voice and ease of playing is so familiar. I feel like a kid again. Funny, we tend to focus on artists that have passed but we need to appreciate someone like Joe that is just as bad ass as when he was young! God bless you Joe!

Some of the best rock the world has ever heard. Keep going Joe.

I think whomever invented the phrase "Joe Cool" was thinking about Joe Walsh when they came up with it. There's just not a cooler cat in the music business than this guy. Thanks, Joe. All of us guitar wannabees would love to have half your talent and half of your tone and we appreciate you giving back like you do. Learned a lot here and enjoyed every friggin second of it.

Joe Walsh long may you run.  What a great guitarist.

He would make a great guitar teacher, friendly and looks like he would enjoy showing a novice how to play the guitar. Always liked Joe Walsh, great character.

[Ranchero]

Dude still is a legend, and always will be.

[HarryMuffUk]

I feel privileged for just watching that video. Wow.

[Bklynviathebridge]

Just saw Walsh opening for Tom Petty a few weeks ago. Walsh' set was worth the price of admission. Maximum musical pleasure, such a sweet guy. He's so down to earth. Thanks Joe for all the great music and keeping it real.

[HarvestrX]

Much love for Joe! One of the greatest guitarists and musicians EVER!

[stiffex]

Joe always looks like hes having great fun when hes playing, anyone learning or improving should study Joe Walsh in the hope that his infectious love of playing guitar might brush off on them ...

[OgreDaddy]

Taste, Timing, Talent,
checks all the boxes!

[jasonadams]

Wow... Forty years of playing and I get to see one of my favorite music writers share some tips and learned more in 30 minutes then a week of straight playing. Thanks and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! I really liked the Jimmy Page trick in the other video I have been wondering how he got that sound.

3 of the greatest slide players I ever saw, Johnny Winter, Duane Allman and Joe Walsh.

[domusvita]

What a legend. Just freaking amazing. Wow.

[IAMJU]

Your thoughtful efforts were most efficacious! A delightful confirmation of my belief you are a man among men. Dating all the way back to the day I saw you playing while hanging upside down from the tree growing up thru the stage in Lake Geneva Wisconsin.

Only Joe Walsh can kill playing slide on Amazing Grace. fantastic!!!! he is absolutely right when he said he has the very lightest touch. because that guitar was set at normal action. and usually a person has to raise the action a lot to play slide. and it was so AWESOME that he thanked Gibson. and the main man Les Paul. the man that did more in the world of the guitar than anyone else no doubt. Joe Walsh and Les Paul have something in common. they are legends among legends. R.I.P.
Les Paul
thank you so much Joe Walsh.
