I worked for The Eagles as a stagehand. Lucky for me, I was sent to the aid of Joe Walsh guitar tech. I got to see his guitars, several Carvins. He gave me a Joe Walsh pick, I guess for a tip. I have been buying Carvin ever since. They are much cheaper than a Gibson, PRS , Fender and 10x better. Everything this man says is true. I was able to speak and order just what I wanted. I only paid 2100.00 got a les paul style w tremelo, ebony fret board, MOP inlays(Not Mother of toilet seat (Like Gibson). I could go on forever. If you buy any thing else , you are not doing yourself any favors.
10x better huh
THANK YOU, EAGLES, FOR GETTING JOE CLEAN!!! What a great human being.
thank Don felder more
I've always known who the Eagles were but I never really "knew" who Joe Walsh was until recently. I'm not sure how I "discovered" him but for some reason when I did see him, I was drawn to him. He really is one amazing and talented person and hearing his struggles with drugs and alcohol, and the fact that he along with the help of Don Felder and the rest of the Eagles band making him realize that he had a serious problem and buckling down to get the help he needed to become sober is truly inspiring. I don't think I could imagine what life would be like for friends and family of his or the world for that matter! he has said so many times and I strongly believe that he was and is lucky to be still alive and doing what he loves best and that is music and being able to play for his fans/family and friends! Love you Joe so much!
He is truly talented But he turned his back on Don Felder when he was fired and never have the limb to at least defend felder when the duping henley and frey lambasted felder.
CooMan Tunes The Eagles did not get Joe Walsh clean. No one can get somebody else clean. Joe Walsh got Joe Walsh clean.
So why would that be his responsibility? Why take sides if you don't have to? There's no reason to stick your nose in a beef between two friends.
I saw Joe with the James Gang forty odd year's ago, and it's fair to say he has had quite some life, but this man is a legend and we are lucky to still have him around.
Brought back tons of memories! I have 2 Carvins from the 70's. GREAT GUITARS!
He's crazy like a fox and his style is recognizable without being redundant. And his willingness to share the spotlight with guys like Don Felder and Steuart Smith shows the mark of a mature artist.
Guitar player in one my bands 33 years ago used a Carvin and it was a great sounding and well built axe. I've since owned both amps and guitars from Carvin and been very pleased with them. Walsh is spot on with his comments.
I met Joe in Sydney over twenty years ago, and had a great 5 minutes talking to him backstage. One of my guitar and rock music idols ( along with the usual suspects like Beck,Page,SRV,Holdsworth,Morse etc...) Joe has always talked liked this, he is a considered thinker, with a deep and laconic voice unaffected by any the high living of the past, and he has been totally sober for over ten years.For a guy in his mid 60's he looks healthy and fit.He does have HUGE hands for a guy about 5ft10".
"I only got drunk once... For twenty years"
-Joe Walsh
I am the same, only it was for 30 plus years. I as well found a fondness for cocaine and ludes. It is not fun.
That's my Joe, always lifts my spirits with a guitar or not. Always makes me laugh but I love his playing, it's so unique!!
@@shawnshipstad8883 can't imagine it with his budget.
How can you not love Joe Walsh!
I got to meet Joe at Carvin in hollywood i was there with my son and he just walked in the back entrance. He is one cooooool dude. He bought 10 cal carve tops that day. Must be nice. Anyway thanks Joe for being really down to earth.
Joe is simply the best 👍💯 🎸
I could sit and watch videos and concert DVDs of Joe playing for hours and believe me I have and still do 😁 there's so much to watch when Joe plays that ya gotta watch it again.
I've been an Eagles/Joe Walsh fan over 40 yrs and I've introduced my 13 yr old grandson to Joe Walsh's guitar playing so much he knows when Joe is playing that magical riffs like no other 🎤🎼🎹🎶🎸✌😚
Absolutely love Joe Walsh 💕❤❣
Carvin hasn't been in the conversation enough because they made a business decision to go direct, instead of through a dealer distribution system, thus keeping the cost-to-customer down. Their quality has ALWAYS been first rate, and attention to detail is a top priority, as that's where the value is. I was wondering about the Kiesel spit, too, and I hope this pays off for them. With so many "boutique" (read EXPENSIVE) companies, and the old big guys outsourcing almost everything, I think we should be supporting them.. Not cheap, but, "you get what you pay for", without being ripped off.
Now if they'd just make some gold foil pickups......
Note on the latest live Eagles DVD, Joe plays his Carvin on some of the new Eagles songs. Which backs up what he has told us about using it heavily in the studio on the latest Eagles CD. Joe now has an arsenal of our new CS6 Single Cuts and loves them. We have a new ad in the October 08 issue of Guitar Player magazine, with Joe and his new guitar.
Yes he does, I have worked for him. He wants nothing in return, but he will take it. Keisel rocks. I ordered another 3 weeks ago. They are having some great special deals now. Move on it I f you want the best. They are inexpensive compared to their lousy competitrors. I saw a Gibson LP standard at GC. 5,000 and the rosewood was complete crap. Rough light and revolting.
LOVE anything that Joe's played since the early 70's.
I've got twenty guitars...now I guess a Carvin will be number twenty-one. I'm impressed!
Joe Walsh knows his Stuff
Joe Ortiz wo beautiful music
I just love this....Joe talkin Guitar TECH....not many musicians will....Thanks Joe for all of your GREAT music and even greater MUSICIANSHIP all these years.....BRAVO!!!
I ran into Joe in the parking lot of circuit city a while back- he's a friendly guy and a tech nerd at heart. plays pretty good guitar too.
I have two CT6 Carvins; one they built for me and the other I got off their show room floor. I have an Icon 5 bass, and LB70, and just bought a Kiesel Aries (grabber blue) that was a prototype they used for something or another. I have a bunch of guitars; Gibson, Fender, ESP, etc. and all I play is that Kiesel. I can't put it down. I didn't think I could find a guitar that fit me so perfectly. The build on the Carvin/Kiesel stuff is imaculate and the attention to detail is remarkable. The Lithium pickups in the Kiesel are absolutely fantastic and are a huge improvement over anything they've done as of yet in my opinion. I like it so much they are building me another one (should have it early March.) These guitars aren't the same animal as the typical mass produced music store guitars (which aren't all bad by the way.) They truly are extremely well built and playable instruments. Don't get me wrong, I love my Gibson and Fenders, but when it comes to true comfort, playability, and consistency, I don't think these guitars can be beat for the price. Open up the control cavity of one of these and take a look at the kind of attention to detail and you get the idea about the workmanship. Don't mean to rant here, but they're worth every penny.
+P Leasum Very Nice Paul!
Yep ! The way it's built and shielded tells a lot about Carvin/Kiesel quality standards ... \m/
Joe Walsh has talked like this for 25 years, and he knows it. He is a scientist of the guitar and he is sitting here telling people exactly what to look for in a good guitar. It's quite a lesson.
Carvin Guitars Awesome. I own one myself Carvin DC127 in beautiful green. Beautiful and smooth to play. Cheers.
If they're good enough for someone who has played just about everything out there, that says it all.
I'm really interested in the Kiesel line. They look like works of art.
Speaking of works of art, this is a beautiful guitar as well.
Joe Walsh is an encyclopedia of musical knowledge. This is a nice primer on what to look for when getting a guitar: the little things that make it easy to play and gets you a good sound. Like he said, it's the details that count.
Joe plays what is required for each song, whether it is a solo gig or the Eagles. His new found love for Carvin isn't always the sound required to recreate some of those old songs live.
I just listened to the james gang's "rides again" it's a great record
Legend. Thanks Joe for the great music.
Thank you Joe! Your music has been the soundtrack of many people's lives and still enjoyed today. Happy new year 2017
hey Joe, ....sorry about Glenn ...peace bro
I don't really care what Joe Walsh talks about. I always listen. He is one intuitive man. Besides being one of the best musicians in the world.
Joe Walsh you ARE A GREAT STAR FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR CRAFT WITH THE WORLD! Thanks brother Joe!
Always get honest, down to earth views from Joe! Long may he reign.
Joe is one of the most under rated guitarists,but he's fantastic! I've been a fan since the 70's and never have been disappointed with one of his performances.
I actually really like Joe's voice...I find it quite entertaining. And just the way he speaks it's almost as if he's just a big kid...who's one hell of a rocker and likes to have fun both on and of stage. I say good on ya Joe. Glad to see your sober and your still doing well. Rock on Buddy!! You'll always be my favourite guitarist....
My new Carvin CS6 will be here the 21st. of new month and i can't wait. I have always been a big admirer of Joes, love the Eagles too.
Man, I've never owned or even played a Carvin but that is a sweet guitar. It just LOOKS like it plays like a dream.
+JONATHON SEAGULL Take it from me (I own five Carvins), they do look, play, and sound like a dream!
Being non musical I'm just in awe of people like this, to remember all the notes to thousands of songs is mind boggling , I just wish I could play one song.
"I can't even get Gibson to do that!" LOL
Raouldip says a lot about Gibson.
It is true, Gibson custom suck, and they cost way too much. F Gibson. Now they do not even use ebony, it is something called Richlite. Maple with some black crap baked on. It is not funny. Gibson has gone to hell. I would never buy one. I did in the 70s and eayly 80s . I bought a LP standard with a flight case for 550.00 new.
@@shawnshipstad8883 richlite is synthetic wood, from my understanding its paper and resin. The mapel they used was baked or roasted mapel which is basically mapel heated at low temperatures to dry it more making it more stable. Tbh gibsons use of richlite and roasted mapel had more to do with CITES restrictions than anything else. Currently, they do use eboney again. I think the complaint about quality has some validity, especially the 2018 line up and back.
Great guitar player great group Eagles Rock! saw them 1980
Man, I just love Joe Walsh. And I got a Carvin vintage 16. Can be set to five watts for apartment playing. I'm gonna check out that tube mic...Walsh's music got me thru High School happy!
It makes me wonder how often he used Carvin guitars on stage.
In the City...What a great song Thanks Joe!!!!!!!
I've only seen two guitar makers with quality as consistent in the stuff that Joe talks about (bridge height, etc). Amateurish players will get stuck on finish anomalies and fret ends in low humidity, but a good guitar has those things right (lower bridge height and bridge centered oriented to the neck).
Collings is one of them, carvin is the other. I've had more collings than carvin, but gibson sure won't do that stuff right, and the people copying their guitars will only do it right on their highest models (like tokai, etc).
If I could only have three guitars, I'd want a carvin of some type, a collings of some type, and an old yamaha (have an SG3000, but it doesn't need to be that glitzy). I've had les pauls from the 2000s, 1990s, 2010s and now one from '76 in great shape. At least the 76 has some evidence that humans worked on it and put things in order, but the rest of them have been forgettable to defective.
Ever ordered one? I did. It showed up broken, sent back, two months later it was sent back to me, broken part fixed, electronics now broken... no sound, just static. Consistent? Yeah... consistently poor. Buy elsewhere.... Music Man, Ibanez, Fender... all better quality in my experience
joe is the man! i was at an eagles concert 2 days ago and he rocked
Yes weather they put him in or not he definitely belongs in the hall of fame… Anyway glad to see your still active in 2023
Joe is an amazing musician! I'm really fond of him!
Joe Walsh is a guitar legend!!!! Drugs were the lifestyle of most musicians, I'm just glad Joe is still here! Along with being a great guitar player, he's funny and down to earth. No ego and that's what really makes Joe, one of a kind!!!! Oh yeah, actor too. The Drew Carey Shows-ED!!!
Fantastic! Love Joe!
I love this Carvin Guitar.
Joe used to guest host on WRIF radio in Detroit and the audience loved him; yes he's done more than his share of herbs but beyond that he's a genius at entertaining and knows exactly what he's doing! His presence with the Eagles only catapulted them into mainstream Rock; just go to one of their concerts and see the fan reaction when he fronts a song!
Love the little "Life in the Fast Lane" riff towards the end...Joe is the coolest.
My wife grew up with his ex-daughter inlaw in ENCINITAS where he lives...she said he didnt give them any money...god damn he just made me so happy I just bought a used carvin...cant wait for it!
I'm still using my Carvin head from the mid '70's. And the mixer board from the early 80's sounds better than anything I have heard these days. Good stuff that Carvin .
When Joe is in Sydney he shops at my local vintage guitar shop where he traded/sold a couple of his guitars one in particular is a Paul Reed Smith and it feels amazing when you pick it up and play. The action is absolutely amazing, no fret buzz and I swear that you'd have trouble slipping a razor blade between the strings and the frets. So if it's one of his rejects and Carvin make better guitars they must make amazing instruments.
Big fan of Carvin
this is a classic video. I think I saw it first on a guitar world magazine CD like 10+ years ago
Joes right about Frank Zappa. Frank started touring with Carvin amps, boards, and PA equipment back in the 70s and never stopped using them. Had nothing but praises for them. And that’s something for someone as cynical as Frank. Good stuff!
I've got a Carvin Twin 50 and a Quad X Preamp and love them. Thanks for the video.
Joe's a cool & funky dude at any age. He demos great info on Carvin. I don't even play guitar, but I play harp (the real 46-string kind). Wish Carvin made electric harps. I just got their catalog today. Might just buy one of their amps and really rock those wedding gigs I have this summer.
And now he is playing Duesenbergs!
Remember "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"? Jeff Spicolli? They got the character from Joe. Take the statement at 0:47, for example, "I have not blown a Carvin amp up yet, & I've tried". Joe is the original & best.
Never heard of a Carvin but would like to try one. A couple of points Joe - Just checked my Gibsons all of the strings on every one line up perfectly over the pickup poles. The high and low E's are equal all the way down the neck. As for the Bridge being on the body, good point however, the one thing I love about a les Paul is that I can change strings with no tools necessary. On the carvin, fenders etc you are required to have at least a philips screw driver.
Nice video; very interesting. Thank you for taking the time...
This dude playing Mountain Way live at the Capital Center in 1977 was killer.
J Stone
Best version
On 9/25/08 and 9/24/08 The Eagles were in Chicago no DC-I can guarantee it--I was there!!
Thanks for posting this. Joe truely is great player and one of my big inspirations. The only thing that i don't undestand is why he uses this guitar in 2 - 3 songs when he's on tour and mostly strats in other songs (which i believe he owes more than 20 of)
coming from this guy that's quite an endorsement.....
Everything he says is true. They treated me the same way they did him. I do not have a single gold record.
That's just Joe...... Gotta love him!
Music gives one a natural buzz. Joe is a natural.
Beautiful guitar joe Walsh
This coming from the guy who's played so many Les Pauls that he gave Jimmy Page his number one. So when he says he can't find another company that does it this good... PAY ATTENTION.
Very well said.
I just watched a video of Walsh saying Gibson Les Paul is his favourite guitar and that no one has improved on them.
ZER0 he plays Les Pauls, Teles and Carvins. Who wouldn't say that a vintage '59 Gold Top worth $50k wasn't his favorite guitar? No shit. Old Les Pauls have a skinny bridge so the strings are closer to the body, new ones don't. Carvin does have the bridge set up he likes, and they cost 1/20th the price. You'd be crazy to take a $20-$30k guitar on the road.
***** Well said brother.
He also gave Pete Townshend a Gretsch 6120 and a Fender Bassman or Bandmaster amp. The combo is used almost in its entirety on Who's Next.
Bought a DC200Koa directly from them in 1982 for about $500. Had to have the electronics gone through once, but still playing it today.
always thought good about carvin boards. Never knew bout their guitars, ... until now, looks good, and listin to Joe, I would love to have one or a few, probably couldn.t afford it though
Init great to sit down and listen to someone and understand just wotthefuck they're talking bout? Love love love your music Joe. I been walking to the beat fur years ... well me an millions of other likeminded individuals. hang in there man all the best
Joe Walsh you know gear! Your opinion is spot on your correct and your knowledge is helping young kids learn the guitar! Carvin guitars are better than Gibson Les Paul
That was actually informative, unlike other reviews where the person just says, "yeah, it rocks, I like it, Why?, well because I do..."
Rock on, Joe !!
This guy likes Carvin equipment and see's the quality in it.
REAL GUITAR PLAYER,play what you want JOE,especially when you're home the sound is everything
Love how he digs the bridge and the Gibson won't do that configuration anymore, even for him.
That tells you all you need to know about Gibson management and why they're BLEEDING RED. Their current CEO is driving that company into the ground.
***** The last Gibson I bought was in 1981. Poor quality with all three that I owned. Gibson cured my head-stockitis and I never looked back. That's also why they're bleeding red, they burned way too many of us.
Bought a sig series jumbo ... sent it back , incorrect cosmetics ...Over the next year .. they made me 3 more guitars ... sent each one back , cracked bridge .. improper aligned nut .. etc. Issues with every one they made and shipped to me . Even personally spoke to quality manager ... telling her to do her job ..and inspect product before leaving their hands / factory .... haha ended up getting my $ 3500 refunded cause they were unable to live up to their rep. of producing a qualty instr. Just bad luck i guess ? called Gibson Headq. New York ... and told them to send me a guitar FREE ! ... for putting me through a year of misery .... No deal !
In my mind Gibson probably never established quality. They had Page playing a heavily modded Paul, we wanted that axe, other big guys made us want those guitars too, but those guys were playing Gibson crap too and figuring out how to make it work...new electronics, relocate the bridges, shave the neck, better tuners, etc. Johnny Winter said the headstock broke off every one of his Firebirds, nice design right there.
you requested a FREE guitar ? that was never going to happen.
Very cool! I have been to Carvin guitar and was very impressed. I'm not a guitarist but I definitely am a wood worker and have worked with a LOT of exotic woods, Carvin does a truly awesome job.
How could anyone ? Not like Joe Walsh !
wade jones ..every custom guitar shop hes worked with in the past except CARVIN!!!
explain...
Can't play e mandoling either , huge hands too :( ... But i can rock the guitar , zappa! Walsh ! Wow . Makes sense they were friends .
Joe's a great ole soul...
Awesome joe!...
the sunburst model looks fkn stunning
Joe Walsh is one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters this country has produced, and he is right on when talking about how crappy most guitars are today, construction wise. He is absolutely right about how pickups and string spacing are laid out, not only does it look bad, but it has a bad effect on the overall sound of the guitar. As to Carvin guitars, most are made pretty good, but even they can do a few more little things to make what would be the best guitar you could buy.
Joe Walsh is THE MAN. I lve your sense of humor . My headt pumps some real heathy blood for this man. Purple peanut butter. I am a 68, a very healthy hippie. Wheeeeee! Didn't you break A string in Detroiit? Was that you Joe? The into riff and pop went the string, one cuz word and we didn't wait long and you played on and we were all so happy.😙😙😚😙😶😚😙
the Eagles blow. Joe Walsh is awesome.
Carvin makes nice guitars, but I have one complaint. They don't offer different neck sizes. I like bigger necks. I think they could sell more guitars if they offered different size neck contours.
We do offer a thicker neck profile now! Give us a call at (858)GUITARS for more info.
Great video, cheers !
Joe's 61st is today, 11-20-08 Thursday! Listen to the 3 studio & 1 live James Gang CD's! His best stuff! And the 2 Barnstorm CD's.
ps - I have a carvin maple 1973 guitar!
So much good to say about the CT6 and 2021 comes and JW is off to PRS with a signature single cut... :(
Well if I'm not mistaken, Carvin went totally out of business A LONG TIME AGO. So what do you expect??? Ya can't have a company make taylor made guitars for you......when they're no longer in business now.......can you.
@@howabouthetruth2157 After Lowel Kiesel's death, two sons split the business. One got amps and Pro Audio, and Mark got guitars and basses. Mark and son Jeff changed the name back to Kiesel Guitars and moved up to Escondido (where they were in the early '70s). Kiesel Guitars is very much alive.
Carvin Audio did go out of business in late 2017/early 2018 ish but they're back with pedals and some Pro Audio stuff and other bits.
@@bb_lz9790 I know all about Kiesel Guitars and how they came to be. I was checking out Keisel's line of guitars around 6 months ago. But the Carvin company as we once knew it in it's former capacity, is simply long gone........where great guitars, amps, PA's, and sound mixing gear were all produced marketed factory-direct under the same company. Sure, the Keisel guitars are high quality, but it's only guitars & basses, with no amps & other gear that I'm aware of.
From the James Gang then a solo career & with the Eagles his best song is Funk #49 with the James Gang ...1 Badass Tune
I have owned 3 Carvin electrics and the necks were so unstable I had to adjust them every couple of months. Especially when I moved to Florida. They don't like humidity. The intonation could never get quite right on them either. You can hear bad intonation in this video. I wound up going with Parkers. I have to say though, I own the Carvin Cobalt C980 Acoustic and it is an incredible sounding guitar. Great for recording.
As of about two years ago, all of our guitars come standard with carbon fiber reinforcement rods in the neck, so now our necks are incredibly stable!
Joe Walsh is a very unique an amazing musical Artist...He has never got his just due for all his musical gifts and greatness...especially from the Eagles who paid him less than what Don Henley and Glenn Frey was getting paid.Joe Walsh has created many amazing hit songs and records long before the Eagles had a clue !!! The Eagles needed Joe Walsh, Joe Walsh didn't need the Eagles. !!
i need a Carvin now
I believe you are confusing "needs" and "wants".
Just wanted to say HI to JOE! I think I have almost all your music... :^ )
JOES THE BEST!!
NO ONE HAS HIS STYLE..
I am trying to learn your songs as a beginner OMG..
Joe please come to BOSTON(alone)!
The Eagles are nothing with out you!
I have an old DC150C from Carvin. Beautiful lil guitar and it has 2 jacks so you can do some funky stereo effects:
out of left field,"I can't play mandolin...........my hands are too big".Typical,classic Joe.......God Bless him
Ive owned a Carvin in the past and Ill say this...its one I was stupid for letting go..someday maybe another Carvin for me.
Joe is my hero!
