Lockdown Licks no. 238. “Rocky Mountain Way” by Joe Walsh.

Playing the rock n roll intro chord riff and bottleneck slide intro solo in the style of Joe Walsh. Using a 1980s Fender Stratocaster tuned to open E on bridge pick up into a NUX M8 amp set to ‘superlead’ with gain, bass and middle up to 7 and on board analogue delay set to tempo.

Open E? A great tuning to play bottleneck slide.

-Tune your A string up to B.

– D string up to E

-G string up to G#. Leave others at concert pitch.
