Learn how to play Funk 49, as performed by James Gang and the great Joe Walsh released as part of their second studio album James Gang Rides Again. The lesson covers Joe's guitar work from the opening intro riff through the rhythm guitar work and the solo. Also, many folks aren't aware there was actually a song from their first album called Funk 48 with a VERY similar riff, and I'll walk you through that one too.
