Hey everybody! I really appreciate all of the kind words/support on this lesson and the others that I've been doing for Guitar World. There are so many great players out there, it's humbling and downright scary to try and teach online these days. I read a lot of comments about the tone, so thought I'd answer those here. It's just one of the house amps at Guitar World...a Marshall JVM head and 4-12 cab, with a boss DD-5 delay pedal in the loop...that's it! Thanks again for checking this out!

Joel is like the first person on guitar world to have good tone

Joel pretty much knows exactly what to play to sound like a total rock star. The guy is insane!

I am not a guitarist, but I watched it full just because I like this guy for his humility. Great guitarist & a very nice human being.

80s tone...its back

Awesome licks 😉

I'll have to wait till my fingers grow...

Thank you Joel !!!

TSO BABY! Love it!!!

monster playing. very clean.

O. My. Goodness. That tone, guitar, and totally awesome and courteous rockstar attitude. Bro.

Joel Hoekstra: “Ok?”

It's simply an honor to even watch him give a lesson, knowing the fact that such musicians are from times when real music existed and melodies mattered. These are the guitarists/musicians which truly define a band/writing skills/arrangement. Its truly humbling to see how grounded they are. Cheers!

Hey Joel,i’ve been playing for over 20 years and after having just discovered you through the current Whitesnake album i gotta say you are my favourite player right

What a perfect guitar tone! Like, literally perfect, specially with the bridge pickup, very few times you have the chance to listen such a beautiful guitar tone

Those pentatonic runs sounded AWESOME! I'll be cracking out the axe to practice them! THANKYOU sir for sharing! Big fan of Whitesnake by the way! Thanks again! 🎸😎🎸

More of this guy please! He is awesome!

Wow. What an outstanding lesson to help the big jump of breaking out of that pentatonic box. And what a humble dude!! That’s always a plus to help the lesson sink in. Thanks for your knowledge!!!!

Beautiful smooth licks Joel, thanks for sharing those pentatonic runs, I’m definitely going to try them

Wow! I never thought the pentatonic had such possibilities. really opened my mind to a new teritory. Thank you. Time to practice
