Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh | Guitar Lesson

[@piperofsimms]

I was about 16 and this tune fascinated me. I would do the voice box by singing into a fan. That bouncing, moving synth was too cool. You did such a great lesson 12 foot. Thank you, Tucson, AZ.

[@joeurbanowski321]

A fan..!! 🤣👍🏼

[@markhamilton8765]

I have been waiting for you to launch this one!! Happy times are here. Party on.

[@rambomambo]

"a party in song form" truer words have never been spoken

[@Brycereigle2000]

One of the best songs ever written (in my opinion). I grew up listening to this song from a very young age. I am 24 and don’t understand how people listen to today’s music with how great it used to be.Joe Walsh is amazing, and so one of a kind. Great video sir

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

I toured with Joe in the 80s. You did an excellent job. You even sounded like Barnstorm Joe.😁👍

[@johnfoley3605]

Full of it

[@Throckmorton_the_great]

​@johnfoley3605 asshole. You don't know this guy, he could've been an audio tech.

[@gratefuldan8934]

Love Joe Walsh..Great lesson

[@normannoriega9557]

Way cool Doug. Joe always been my favorite musician when he was solo with the James gang lot of good Soulful rock and roll. Appreciate your time Doug. 😎✌️

I'm still learning the slide technique and it's not easy getting a honed sound like you're doing with single notes. I'm slowly getting a feel for the necessary muting of the other strings with both left and right hands. Another important factor as you pointed out is getting directly over a fret with the slide. When playing slide guitar the slide becomes the fret. Thanks for the great lesson and how to play. Rocky Mountain Way!

[@markbathen5717]

thank you Thank You THANK YOU! YOU are an EXCELLENT TEACHER! I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH!

[@shawnkilmer3079]

I grew up watching my two uncles struggling with their [2]seperate bands. To tell a tale of a kid asking billions of questions_ I admit that a lot of music lessons learned by ear got me here! Thanks 12 foot chain for expanding some of that knowledge. And, I hope to tune in on the next lesson_|3ones=BONES

[@rikkousa]

Great lesson…the slide instruction was all new to me!

[@shakeyblues5128]

Great job, as this was my first song I learned in 1975 from my cousin. Love the story of Kim Mitchel and Joe driving around LA is Joe's Volkswagon. Kim said he was a mad man back in the day 🍺♫♪♫♪♫♪

[@brucehelppie6119]

great lesson. helping me start playing slide. thanks a lot!

[@neubert500]

Have loved this song since my first listen! Thank you for the excellent lesson!

[@5150show]

Incredible

[@phlegmbeck9224]

1st time seeing one of your videos. You are an excellent teacher and seem to have a lot of fun doing it. That makes a difference. When my friends mentioned Joe Walsh I said yes immediately hoping I could find someone like you on KZbin that could teach me. So glad your video popped up. I look forward to watching your other videos in the future! Thanks for a great lesson!

[@12footchain]

Thank you and welcome, glad you found the channel. Tell your friends!

[@phlegmbeck9224]

Will do! I think I finally got it. I used your video for a couple of places I got stuck but figured most of it out on my own. Once you get a couple of patterns down it’s fairly intuitive. I think hardest part was the talk box solo. So simple but as you said, the notes aren’t in the right places. This is only my 2nd go at a slide song, so your video was incredibly helpful. Thanks again!

[@roberta.k4213]

Great teaching,, thank you!!!

[@craighurley8031]

As usual Another awesome Joe Walsh lesson ! I have one hint He plays a second guitar in standard tuning for the talk box stuff ~ Seen it a million times Even if he doesn’t have a tech he’ll have a second guitar over his shoulder I appreciate your great work and Merry Christmas !!

[@joeurbanowski321]

Excellent lesson man.! As always.!❤️👍🏼

[@820hurleyj]

Now I'm going to have this song stuck in my head for another couple of decades! Thanks, man. JW is the GOAT! It figures. Just like Keith Richards, I had troubles figuring out proper fingerings because the @#$&! use alternate tunings . Sounds like you nailed it. Gotta try this.

[@basileus8038]

Excellent lesson yet again!

[@fabientissier1218]

Excellent lesson, thank you so much for that 👍

[@sidneysnottley6414]

Excellent 'How to' ... Thanks.

[@kgjb2003]

[@12footchain]

Thank you

[@kevinwray9802]

I just found your channel recently and WOW what’s great job you do on all these song! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent with all of us guitar players that want to learn these great songs!!

[@12footchain]

Thank you and welcome

[@drewbarries]

Thanks Doug, another epic lesson, great job. Hey while your in a slide mood maybe consider doing the late great Gary Rosington’s great slide work on You Got That Right.

[@ericbell6405]

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!!

[@69lespauls]

Excellent video. thank you. cheers!

[@Troy99y]

Awesome 👏🏻 😊

[@ladeseddy5994]

Bass player here and the band I was in when this came out covered it. Great lesson! The one thing I remember years ago was a pinch maybe with one of the slide solos. Is that even possible? I remember our lead player being faithful to the record and I really remember a squeak or pinch harmonic somewhere. It was a long time ago.....

[@jeffjohnson7381]

Love Joe Walsh….great song lesson…could you do some slide blues and Delta style… beginner to intermediate level🎸🎶

[@luizemediato6987]

Amazing explanation!

[@Reedc16]

I think you should do a guitar lesson on wild wild life by talking heads

[@rhondakendall1231]

Very helpful 👏👏👏

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

What fantastic lesson this is and HUGE CREDIT TO YOU for investing in a talk box to you us how it works and how to use it. Love your videos buddy and keep up the fab work, Just a quickie question, any idea what the slide guitar reverb/echo settings are? have just subd too. Thank you for all your efforts, its awesome!

[@12footchain]

thank you and welcome. I don't exactly know the specific settings. I sort of just set it with what feels right with the tempo and strength of repeats

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

Thanks for replying, I've just started to learn this classic, So yr lesson is perfect, Thanks again. Really looking forward to enjoying your videos and Greetings from a Brit in Greece! @@12footchain

[@OFLHLGZ28]

[@mrskint55]

Thanks for posting great song . Another great song for slide is let’s work together by canned heat .Any chance of posting that sometime please

[@rayross997]

Nice job, thanks. With that handy, dandy Talk Box would you consider Show Me the Way by Frampton?

[@ditchgator1]

Damn fine lesson me thinks 😉👍 😎👍❤🖖

[@gk8010]

Great!

[@vincemaciunskas167]

How about a lesson on the bomber?

[@gratefulmule]

Great lesson,how about Grinderswitch,Miss Understanding 🤔

[@daviddonnelly3529]

please demonstrate "recurring dream" by crowded house . . the jangly guitar riff sounds amazing but must be easy to play as Neil Finn plays and sings at the same time

[@glenduncan8125]

Link for talk box? Great video by the way...really like your teaching style.

[@12footchain]

thanks, sorry, have the link added now, but here it is MXR Talk Box sweetwater.sjv.io/nLk146

[@jimgreenside4506]

Hey man, really enjoy your tutorials I’d like to know if you’d consider a song by the Firm Jimmy Page had a few gems there and finding tabs is really hard The song I’m asking for is called Together From the first album Thanks man Keep up the great work Love this channel 👍👍

[@robertshirley3422]

Hey, how about a Joe Walsh song written as a member of The Eagles..." Life In The Fast Lane"??

[@markdesod561]

He was really underrated before he hit the Eagles, kind of our American 'Slowhand'? But I'm game if you are!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@mvp019]

Please do All Night Long - no good lessons on that tune.

[@williamhumphrey1084]

[@williamhumphrey1084]

I’m so sorry you so po’ ya gotta ak fo $

[@carlhungus2521]

the audio is killing me, the insufferable youtuber subscribe hit the bell...patreon is a turnoff especially when delivered with the christain bale batman voice

[@gunsofsteele]

I want to like this lesson but likes are at 666 and I'm not a priest.

[@gypsysteve3576]

The priestcraft was set up in early history to control individual freedom thru fear. And much of those be'LIE'fs still linger today. Its much like superstition ...its just mind games. You can either defeat yourself or enhance yourself with your own beliefs. In my youth i challenged this, and deliberately walked accross paths of black cats, broke mirrors, walked under ladders (the last one is just common sense, not superstition)... and i live a beautiful and happy life, full of goodness, and always look at the half full glass. You can take your own mind power back from these false beliefs at any time you choose ✌️🎸
