Walk This Way Pt.2 - Guitar Solos - Joe Perry


"Walk This Way Pt.2 - Guitar Solos" by Aerosmith spotlights Joe Perry's lead guitar work from one of rock's most recognized riffs and solo sections. Originally from the band's classic catalog, this version isolates the guitar solos, making it an excellent study tool for electric guitarists looking to dissect Perry's phrasing, bends, and blues-influenced technique. It serves as a practical reference for players aiming to understand how landmark rock solos are constructed and executed.

  • This track isolates Joe Perry's guitar solos, letting players study his bends, phrasing, and blues-rock technique without the full band mix.
  • Walk This Way is built on a repeating guitar riff that became one of the most influential and widely learned passages in rock guitar history.
  • Aerosmith released material through Geffen Records before returning to Columbia, marking a significant chapter in the band's commercial peak era.
Fender Stratocaster

Fender Stratocaster

Joe Perry uses a late-1950s Strat for cleaner, snappier tones on tracks like 'Walk This Way', providing brighter single-coil bite that contrasts with his heavier Les Paul work. The Strat's tonal versatility lets him achieve crisp rhythm parts and articulate lead passages without the thick humbucker warmth.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Perry's 1959 Les Paul Standard, his 'Holy Grail' guitar, delivers the thick, singing sustain and natural harmonic bloom central to Aerosmith's classic rock sound. Its PAF humbuckers respond beautifully to his expressive bending and vibrato technique, especially through cranked Marshalls.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Perry's Custom Shop Les Paul reissues replicate his vintage instrument's tone with modern reliability, maintaining the smooth, responsive humbucker character that lets his playing dynamics shine through. These guitars are essential for capturing his signature fat lead tone on stage and in the studio.

Gibson ES-335

Gibson ES-335

Brad Whitford's semi-hollow ES-335 provides warm, compressed breakup with enhanced midrange that cuts through Aerosmith's thick dual-guitar arrangements. The semi-hollow body's natural resonance adds depth to his rhythm playing when paired with his Marshall and Mesa/Boogie stack.

Marshall JCM800
Amp

Marshall JCM800

Joe Perry's modified JCM800 has been his core amp for decades, delivering natural tube saturation at high volume with a presence-peaked treble that defines Aerosmith's aggressive, sustaining lead tone. The amp's responsiveness to his volume knob control and pickup selection is crucial to his expressive playing approach.

Fender Twin Reverb

Fender Twin Reverb

Perry uses the Fender Twin Reverb for cleaner studio tones and textures, providing headroom and natural reverb that balances the JCM800's darker aggression. The Twin's clarity preserves his picking precision and note articulation for rhythm parts and cleaner passages.
