FUNK #49
--------------
By James Gang
I posted the riff for this before, but I forgot to include some of the runs.
So here it is , although there are a few extra bits of lead I don't know
Main Riff (I put it two frets too high before - doing it in A means you
---------- can use the open A string to fill out a bit of bass)
E-----------------------------------|
B------5----7--5----7h8-7---7--5----|
G------5h6--7--5h6--7---7---7--5h6--|
D------5----7--5----7h9-7---7--5----|
A------0-------0---------------0----|
E-----------------------------------|
h is hammer-on
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/james_gang/funk_49_tab_ver_2.html ]
Use the first finger to fret all the 5th fret bits, hammer on with the 2nd
finger
7
For the first and last 7 shape use the third finger, for the others use
7
the first finger and hammer on with 2nd and 3rd
After this comes a downward run :
E-----------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------|
D-----7-5-------------7---7-5-------------|
A---------7-5--3------7-------7-5-3-------| } Play this twice
E----------------3-5--5-------------3-5---|
Then move everything up two frets and play it twice more, but straight after
the last note (&th fret, E string) play an E7#9
E---x-
B---8-
G---7-
D---6-
A---7-
E---0-
Then I think it goes back to the riff
That's all I can remember.....
