For Joe Walsh, playing guitar was an escape from the confines of his classical music training. Like his mentor Pete Townshend, he developed a style that combined rhythm and lead playing in order to work within the structure of a three-piece band. With the James Gang, later on his own, and then as a member of the Eagles, Walsh has maintained an exciting and explorative approach to both his writing and playing.
