James Gang "Funk 49" guitar lesson. For the next Riff of the Day, we're using a Wampler Tweed '57 to produce Joe Walsh's raw, edgy tone . The Tweed '57 doesn't need much tweaking to produce the sound of a vintage combo amp giving its all, just a little mids and the linked bright and normal 'amp inputs' to put it over the top. The opening lick of Funk #49 has a classic Walsh country style bend which mutes the second A note almost entirely (live versions are more apparent). There are also all kinds of guitar techniques hidden in this seemingly simple tune; pre bends from a whole step down, pull offs and vibrato across 3 strings. Let's not forget the riff's percussive strumming that helps fill out the sound of this classic 3 piece band. Enjoy your daily guitar lesson.
