Movie Reviews of Joe Walsh - Instructional DVD for Guitar
Movie Review: Nice enough, but not terrific.
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this was very interesting, watching Joe Smoker-Player Walsh stringing a guitar, and discussing how he winds the strings so they stay in tune. It's widely known that Walsh spent much of the 1970s and 1980s as an amateur pharmacist, so maybe we shouldn't put much stock in what he says about truss rods, and setting things up, but I sure learned a lot. Cleaning pots? Monkeying with pickups? This was all a bonus that I wasn't expecting. I figured the whole DVD would be alternate tunings, bottleneck slide techniques, counting and such. But there is a whole lot more than that.
I agree with the other reviewers who say much of the material is pretty basic. Playing close to the bridge or close to the neck? Sure, that's stuff you (should) learn wearing out your first set of strings. But, if you do not know it, it's all worthwhile.
Maybe one of the best lessons, though, especially for beginning guitarists, is watching the pre-sober Walsh negotiate such difficult tasks as sitting on a guitar stool. It makes you wonder what we all may have missed out on, "we" including even Joe himself.
I enjoyed this. But I come at it from the perspective of someone fifty years old, who was pretty good back in high school and admittedly, Joe Walsh was one of my heroes. I'm coming back to guitar now from an absence of almost thirty years. I knew I would never again be good enough for Gibsons, so I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Custom and an Epiphone Dot. I long-ago put away any dreams of going on the road. So for $10 out of the bargain bin I learned quite a few things and came away happy. I wish there had been more about soloing, more "how I wrote" my favorites and maybe some backing tracks we could play along to. But seriously, for what it is, this was very worthwhile for me and I hope you'll like it as much as I did.
