Well thanks a lot for watching my videos! Regarding this song I always loved it but was never really a slide guitar player. So I sat down and gave it a shot. I just thought about it and changed my tuning to what would work and once I did it was amazingly easier than I thought it would be.

@@LEADSOLO after watching you I've been burning up the guitar with the slide, not saying I'm a Joe Walsh or even as good as you but I'm seeing a real difference. The pressure I hold down to holding the slide straight then sometimes slightly slanted from the frets. I'm really getting into this song now... lol you set my ears on fire, bought both brass tube and a glass tube. Thank you very much. Btw...when I first started practicing with the slides, should have seen the two dogs clear the room.. lol been a while since I laughed so hard. Thank you so much.

I heard that! ..Critics be saying he a bad ass guitarist! I am like wtf I think he damn good

This song is in Open-E, which is the tuning that basically all of Duane Allman's slide is played in. Open-G is another very popular slide tuning tho which is D-G-D-G-B-D. This is what most of Canned Heat and Muddy Waters slide parts are played in. The Rolling Stones have a good handful of songs played in Open-G as well but they don't feature much, if any (that I can recall), slide playing. If you're interested in continuing with Open-Tunings and Slide heres a couple decent tunes to mess with after learning the basics from this Joe Walsh tune... 1. Aretha Franklin & Duane Allman: The Weight (cover of The Band's song of the same name) = Open-E / Easy 2. The Allman Brothers Band: Wasted Words = Open-E / Moderate 3. Canned Heat: Rollin' and Tumblin' = Open-G / Moderate 4. Canned Heat: Let's Work Together = Open-G / Moderate 5. Muddy Waters: I Can't Be Satisfied = Open-G / Easy **Depending how much slide you've played in the 6months since your comment, you may even find the "Moderate" songs to be Easy... They just utilize some movements with the slide that take a little more getting used to than the others**

Have you seen my cover of that song? It is here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qaqJZ7anubG7emg.html

Thanks for the input. I will try to do that in the future. Some of the solos I cover have so many notes though, if I break it down too much, it is just not practical. Also it's easy to get totally lost on where we are. I try to find a balance so that it still recognizable yet learnable. It's kind of hard to do. It's an ongoing thing I have to keep working at. Thanks again
