Joe Walsh is an amazing guitarist. I love his early work especially when this song was recorded. His use of adding a percussive backend to his rhythm to fill the void of being the lone guitarist was genius. If you see his live performances back then with his attack of full balls out energy, it's awe inspiring. Thanks so much!
Hell yeah man reason I started playing
Just watched your video because I want to learn this song. I will play this song as the only guitar player. Your lesson was simple and easy for me to understand , and now I have confidence to play this song and make it sound good. Thank you for your lesson đ
Glad I could help!
Great lesson. So much better than others on CZcams. Explaining why it works is so important.
Knowledge is power. đ€
Another classic -thanks for posting!
Nice lesson, easy to follow, learned a few things! Thank you
Thanks Desi! Another great video!

Excellent as always Desi thanks!
Great my friend thank you and god bless you.
Thank you too
Very clear cut instructions! Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge. I have wanted to learn this iconic tune for yearsđ
My pleasure!
I am sorry, and I am not trying to bash this dude but Joe plays this tune TOTALLY different. His actual notes are right but it is not even close to how it is played. Joe is the reason I play guitar and have since 1980. Go and watch Joe or the Eagles live and you will see how wrong this is. But if you want to be way off base you are welcome to play it like this man. Joe is wrapping his thumb and he is sliding from fret to fret and barring with his third finger.
One of my favorite tunes. Thanks
Mine too!
I really admire talented people.
Great explanation
Desi, would love for you to do a study on Joe Walsh's Turn To Stone Guitar Lesson. Noy much out there at all.
Great song! Not sure I'll get around to posting a video about it, but it's something we could do in a private lesson. desiserna.as.me/schedule.php
Best breakdown Iâve found..thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
Sorry to burst your bubble, and I am NOT trying to be a prick. The solo is about the only accurate part, so kudos to the gentleman for that. Joe is playing it with his thumb over his E string (as so many 70`s guys did) and his fingers in a F shape ( index B 5th fret , Middle G 6th and ring 7th) and for the D he just barre`s (yes Barre) the D & G at the 7th fret. Just check out him doing it live and you will see it as plain as day. Yes, players do sometimes play live differently as I am sure you know, but not here.
wow
PRS sounds great
Fantastic Desi. Just love that sound you put out. Great lesson. The female vocal almost sounds like Shania Twain.
Itâs a male vocal. It sounds funny because the track is transposed up a key.
Great lesson, one of the best I've seen on YT. Any suggestions on how Joe gets those wacky tones/sounds in the outro of this classic. It would be cool to get some of it down and never seen it explained by anyone.
Fuzz pedal, whammy bar, and some right/left stereo panning by the mixing engineer.
@@desisernaguitar Thanks for the reply. Lots of dudes don't bother.
I like it
Excelent very helpfull
Liked it - good player - camera guy, contrast, keep it up, please
I can play this song and my voice is exactly like Joe Walsh too
Let's make a band! Lol!
@@desisernaguitar good idea, James gang was a very influential band back then. Jimmy page got his lp from Joe Walsh and that black suit looks like the one Dale Peter's had before he got one similar. So I think even Led Zeppelin copied James Gang.
@@luismangiaterra1031 Yes, I love the James Gang. One of my favs.
@@luismangiaterra1031 The riff on "Whole Lotta Love" is a Joe thing. Most people don`t play the riff correctly, just play it straight. But Jimmy keeps his D string open thru the entire riff with a very subtle bend on the A string that gives it a "rude" sound. Jimmy got that quirky thing from Joe`s bag of goodies. Give it a try Louis. At first it is tricky cuz you hit the open D by accident and it mutes the note. Arch your index finger, bend the A a tiny bit so D rings giving it that rude, or sour sound.
@@luismangiaterra1031 Just look at the fame that Les Paul has. Joe had a `58 and a `59, but hated the fat neck on all `59`s. So when Pagey could not find a Les Paul in London, Joe was willing to give up the `59. Jimmy gave him $500 for it. He thought the neck was too fat as well so he had it shaved down to his satisfaction. I shave almost all of my guitars` necks as well. It makes a huge difference. It is faster and you have more control bending the strings and other good shit man.

Great as always Desi! Thanks
Iâm in the same boat. I know the scale. For some mental reason I just canât get it. Itâs just unison bends. Omg Iâm gonna jump. Keep practicing
Joe is NOT using reverb or delay..... dude
While Joe may have not used reverb and delay as part of his signal chain, these effects are almost always added in post production by the sound engineer. They give the guitar sound more sustain, depth, and help the guitar sit in the mix properly. I'm using post effects too actually. I added the reverb and delay after the amp section in my Kemper Profiling Amplifier. It would sound dry and lifeless if I had not added these effects.
@@desisernaguitar While I see you giving this lesson, knowing you are not playing it correctly (like Joe rather) other than the solo(which you nail) your very aware of the need for some reverb or delay is 100% right man!! Hey, Kudos for spending your free time to give a free lesson is awesome man!!! I appreciate you!
Joe was ALWAYS on EchoPlex liveâŠđ€Ł
I think Joe was just playing and didnât have a clue in all that technical talk
Joe Walsh is a much smarter musician than you think. He has a background playing piano and composed the harmonized arpeggios heard at the end of "Hotel California."
He was noted for hacking his âpriceless â LP,s experimenting with welding iron plates, etc to get more sustain. Heâs always been a very technical, take-it-apart-and-hack-it guy - from the very beginning.
