The Funk 49 Joe Walsh Lick That Everyone Plays Wrong.

[@trevortaylor9916]

You play it so well, I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for the lesson, Cheers

[@thebluesrockers]

Now that is a tricky little S.O.B. to play.. But you nailed it. Now I'm going to go crazy trying to figure how to to do that right and up to speed.. Thank you for breaking this down. I never could make this sound right. I guess that's because I too was playing it wrong.. Thanks a million for breaking this down. Peace.. Joe

[@guntherdog1519]

Thank you so much! Been playing this wrong for years. The picking took a while to get used to but I finally nailed it.

[@janichmondieu6505]

Joe Walsh has so many intro's and solos that make us want to play this instrument. Retired, so I have plenty of time and you teach all the very best licks. Thank you bro-

[@navymark101]

One of the greatest riffs...

[@Kris-P343]

One of my favorites! I was playing it wrong, back to the drawing board…thank you!

[@davidsawyer6784]

Favorite riff and your played it correctly. Time to rock. Walsh is my favorite.

[@zane.walker]

You are the man! Great insights into a great lick. And once again you make it sound so easy (until I try it). But at least now I know what to aim for. Much appreciated.

[@timculp4126]

I knew I wasn't doing it quite right. One of my favorites also.

[@senseiruss]

WOW! I never in a million years would've been able to figure that out on my own! OF COURSE I had it pretty wrong! Thanks for sharing this amazing tutorial!

[@listairgin]

Great accuracy there Kelly as always, thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I’m really looking forward to the full tutorial for the rest of the song . Brilliant stuff 👌🏻🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

[@jbear4662]

awesome thanks it is a great riff

[@taossmith85]

Thank you! I don't know what is harder: playing this lick or trying not to make "Joe Walsh faces" whilst doing so.

[@christophermccheyne8886]

Well done sir ! Well shared. Thank you

[@davemiller3345]

Awesome, thank you for posting. Probably my favorite riff as well.

[@limpeacock573]

Awesome and thank you! I never could figure out what I was missing with this lick!!

[@univibe23]

It's amazing how this little lick barely 30sec long sums up the genius of Joe Walsh. He's one of the most musical guitarists I've ever heard. I literally think if he fell down the stairs with a guitar in his hands some amazing lick would happen.

[@davidsawyer6784]

Joe Walsh is a guitar playing God. Great life story and tremendous achievements. Love the riff and in a year, with lots of practice, I might be able to play the. There are some great leads to master as well. WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO ON THIS TUNE. Thanks a bunch.

[@karlschihl6655]

nice job digging that lick out best one i have seen

[@gnawbabygnaw]

Sounds Great. Different than how I’ve done it. Can’t wait to get on it! Thanks 🤙🤙. Good one

[@NDFlyFisher]

Looking forward to your tutorial on the riff.

[@adamjg4]

I always had a problem replicating the intro for this song (not the main riff) -- this greatly breaks it down!

[@charlesmerfeld2988]

Excellent breakdown

[@alessandromerlino]

Ben fatto! Grazie!

[@AndyDion]

Awesome, been playing it different, this sounds way better

[@sergebraida5622]

The first time I heard this song was in the movie Detroit Rock City. That riff fit so perfectly with the scene it was in.

[@SpokenBroke]

One more tiny thing, that second bend at the 7th fret actually catches a tiny bit of the upward bend before releasing.

[@AZVIDS]

Walsh is awesome👍

[@stratman9449]

hi...yep find it helpful...but was instantly struggling to mute 1st e string while bending and release picking 3rd g string at a....but we'll get there....😅

[@dwaynejessome1728]

Joe is the King! He's the only reason I don't change the station when an Eagles song comes on.At least from Hotel California and on. Before that I'll listen to Take it to the Limit pretty much exclusively. Joe is such an underrated guitarist

[@Mark.R.]

Kewl!

[@adamjg4]

Always liked the Pro-Guitar Shop Lessons by Andy (sharp guy) -- wish he was still making lessons.

[@mbreinin]

Ha! Awesome....tricky, but awesome. I got it.

[@karlschihl6655]

back 4 more- thanks

[@pcn267]

I'm not too sure you got it but Howard's version is spot on ,check it out

[@johngalt8862]

Joe always said watch the hand with the pick

[@juke699]

Another Great One Kda, Look forward each day to see what you have posted, kind of like Christmas Morning and the presents are under the tree.........

[@micahmaresca9763]

Oh yeah that’s it ! Thank you for posting and allowing us mortals peace!

[@tonysoprano4883]

Hey KDA, could you try to tackle the "Life In Dark Water" solo by Al Stewart, played by Tim Renwick? It's a great solo and there are no tutorials of it. Also if you could try to get a similar tone. Cheers!

[@patrickmaline4258]

and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do it.

[@damoshep7968]

You can play this intro roughly and it’s still sounds good. The little run after reverse hybrid bend sound crap anyway. But to play it exactly the same yea good vid

[@kearneygd]

Very nice tutorial, and I think the technique is referred to as "chick'n pick'n"

[@rexjamerson9316]

And it is generally agreed, that that Chicken Pickin style was invented by the legendary James Burton who used it at the age of 15 on a record from around 1956 or 7.

[@billydeewilliams9104]

I love to nail openings. (female)

[@pcn267]

That guy Howard got it pretty straight also

[@stevek8]

This is a bit encouraging. I taught myself how to play this before youtube was invented. I'm a bass player by choice, but I had borrowed a friend's guitar for a few days (back in 1990ish) and learned this song, I figured out pinch harmonics, and that lead me into learning "Territories" by Rush. Anyway, I play it exactly how you just showed. I generally watch tutorials to see teachers "teaching" wrong ways to play.

[@timmarkowicz779]

It's not WRONG. It's just a variation.

[@pmkrak]

You're still playing it "wrong" compared to the way he's playing on the Stern show. You need to go back and take a good look at that again. The "click" is coming from his downward pick stroke that is muted and then he is actually snapping the note with his index finger.

[@mikehunty20]

Did you get a physics degree? I like your channel. But I prefer Mr. Tabs because I need the backing guitar tracks and tabs, as I'm a one person show.

[@qua7771]

It's hard on a Les Paul with 10's. It makes me think it's a skinny string thing. I'm sure it's easier on a Strat with the longer scale, and trem.
