James Gang - Funk 49 Guitar Lesson

[@J1Z06]

Thanks so much, Andy! You rock!!!

[@edmiglia]

Who the heck dislikes this? It's a free guitar lesson!

[@coasmechteranic]

69 non- guitarists?

[@schmeag7710]

People who found it hard to understand or just not very useful

[@JasonsBasementBand]

People that don’t sleep all day. Fucking weirdos.

[@HOWARYABUCK]

All the legends

[@DaveWhatKindaGuy]

The best lesson of this song on the web - kudos.

[@Doug_Diego_Cazadores_Cassidy]

Please keep making these tutorials. They are, hands down, the best on KZbin. I love how there is no note-for-note bullshit . I also like how you stop and give a little example of whats being played, like the 'Jimi' chord thing. That is helpful.

[@guitargai]

Excellent riffs. Joe Walsh really rocked it in the James Gang. This was a time when you could take a great riff and make it into a memorable song that last forever.

[@mikebunner3498]

Joe can/could play a mean guitar. He did things that most other folks had not done.

[@twistinmemelons]

cool lick, thanks for the lesson

[@JSE2015]

Great!

[@justanotherlespaul]

Easily one of the best riffs of all time, thank you proguitarshop!

[@rnarizona9686]

I wanted a little refresher on this song, and gave your video a try. Very nicely done. I agree with all of the previous (favorable) comments. The slo mo is helpful, and you don't get bogged down in a lot of unnecessary talk. Thanks--Good Job!

[@Sonny_AA]

Seriously hoping you do more lesson videos in the future. They''re helpful and inspiring.

[@daleleisenring2367]

Thank You So Much for giving these lessons! It's next to impossible to decipher complex riffs in tab. Please keep doing the slow version. It is extremely helpful to us learning to play guitar.

[@airkooled74]

The Bomber!!!

[@nycLPplayer]

Thanks for adding the tabs to these lessons

[@Jofra1995]

thanks for the really clear explanation of #49!!

[@basspole]

Love the riff of the day

[@buddhamus]

I've always like this riff. Thanks Andy, another great job.

[@ZK707]

Alright! Thank you, PGS crew!

[@jamesgannon2136]

This is probably like the easiest lesson that I've seen it just it is a lot more clear than any other ones thanks

[@MrSTARPOLE]

Thank you Andy!!! :-)

[@zx7gp]

Hands up if just can't stop air Bass playin!!

[@bossman1208]

great video. Andy is the man!

[@UV-NIR-Thermal]

Nice Andy, thanks for the lessen. I was trying this song a few months back and could not get it. With your lesson , I got it. Thanks!

[@SCtrojan2k]

Every time I watch these damn videos I just end up wanting another guitar. Beautiful tone.

[@anthonyjamerson8865]

Now this is a proper guitar lesson. All other teachers take note of how this instructor didn’t spend 30 minutes of the video talking about nonsense.

[@jamminjay]

Sounds great!

[@RickyPisano]

AWESOME RIFF.... GREAT SONG. THANKS!!

[@stratsandaks]

Love that Esquire!

[@JHish33]

Such an underrated song and band! Great job!

[@randomonio]

That is a beautiful guitar.

[@Dave13185]

nice tone andy

[@msmoniz]

Dear lord I want that Esquire bad!! Gorgeous!!

[@thomasmcguire1961]

Welcome back. I love these. For one pick-up, that Esquire has some balls

[@rileywoodford9943]

thanks. nicely done.

[@PBTazo]

"Hendrix chord", that made my day

[@metalzone2000]

Holy crap, thank you so much for this Andy! I have trying to figure this song out on my own for ages but could not get the chords right, YOU ROCK!

[@nortonfastback750]

awesome thanks

[@montydaniels1054]

I just watched a lesson that sounded ok but it wasn't quite it. Glad I watched your lesson. It's spot on because I just watched Joe Walsh on Guitar Centers Sessions. Thank you, great video...

[@Deliquescentinsight]

This is one of those songs i always meant to look at-but never got to it-thanks Andy, appreciated mate! (I loved the 'Cinnamon Girl' lesson)

[@harrylook7810]

joe walsh is one of 'em

[@albertdaniel1000]

Thank you...

[@stratdoc]

Andy I hope this is your store or they are paying you well! You are the best..not even close!

[@RK7252]

great job

[@tmacbmw]

Great job like the note for note....thanks keep it coming

[@Nic72able]

Thank you!!

[@wdsmith23]

Lesson actually starts at 1:50

[@MassiveBGanja]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@kooslewis]

great

[@AndyDemos]

it is.

[@JohnnyFree1989]

Hell yeah!!! You should invite special guest Phil X on this one! ;)

[@ktcarl]

Keep up your KZbin tutorials. I get bored with the note for note lessons. You can learn faster with the tutorials you provide. Thank you very much.

[@DonDeering]

Thank you!

[@MIROPIRO]

You got yourself a sub ! Cool channel !!!!

[@cooltunesmadeeasy]

nice demo great visual dont need talk ...cheers

[@terryfox4798]

Dude...I want to marry that guitar...or devour it. :)

[@demi51100]

ahh !! encore encore !!!!!!

[@davidwantsahug]

I already know how to play this, I just wanted to hear Andy play it.

[@Palakoss]

Whoa, i've never thought that phil x has so many fans :D

[@uncletrick1]

lol - you're right. I can kind of hear it. Never gonna listen to this song the same now.

[@nickschoggen301]

All this tele goodness gives me a craving for Cropper. Any chance Andy could give us the rundown on Chicken Pox from Booker T and the MG's?

[@JerrysDerby]

You guys should make lessons on andy's improvisations in guitar pedal reviews! So many people would watch those...

[@MusicStuffSome]

That guitar is sooo cool its got lie 1 pickup on it and sounds so swishy :)

[@liljgoneman9765]

Incredibly helpful, even to a guy as marginally talented as myself. By marginally talented, I mean your "slow tempo" seems damn fast as I try to keep up at first. :) Subscribed and thanks for doin these videos.

[@mcrock41]

Thanks Dude, like your lesson.Worked great for me. I really don't need the note for note chord explanation. Just loved the slow version thing. Worked great at rehersal.

[@jstrang5143]

@ 2:50 ish tab says do a slde back from 5th frt on the 6th string not the 5th string that's why it does not sound right

[@commonzac]

you can almost taste the tone, juicy.

[@dalealanbryant7062]

Also - you analyze a riff, as if, you were just learning it, yourself. You 'feel it out', as, you go; good style!

[@michaelprocida]

It would be nice if tabs were downloadable or printable from the PG site.

[@Nazzz65]

O-KAAAY this is pretty great! Thank you for the lesson Andy. IMHO there are songs like Funk #49 and too many others to mention 'natch!, that are among those great songs that happen to include a MONSTER riff for the ages that makes you want to learn guitar in order to be able to play it!! Me? Funk #49? Hmmmm STILL learning....

[@yotatech]

Andy, great lesson. I have been watching all of your lessons, and can now play a few of the songs. Can you do Judas Priests Living After Midnight? That is one I cam working on now, and would enjoy seeing that one taught by you.

[@Trans909]

Whoa, this is a workout for us novices! ("I got blisters on me fingers...!") Thanks, Andy. Now if you would just show us the "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" licks from "The Bomber", I'd be a really happy camper. (Yes, I know there are clips on YT showing that, but they're a little incomplete and Andy is the Man, so there.)

[@dus65]

I apologize if this sounds n00b, but anyone else think of the chorus of "Footloose" when they first heard this? Is there any connection?

[@metalmania1315]

PLEASE DO THE BOMBER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steveb.4809]

Great tutorials..!!! I Kno I'm not the only one wondering about the source of the drum tracks (Sounds Goooood)

[@bennettberman4281]

Where are the pickups?

[@geoffflato6065]

Its an esquire Only has a bridge pickup its in the metal tray his hand is resting on

[@aabb3340]

Strange. It has a blade pickup selector switch. In case you want to mute the guitar immediately without any hum?

[@CyclingSasquatch]

@@aabb3340 If I'm not mistaken, one position bypasses the capacitor entirely (wide open, bright tone), one has a normal value, Tele-style capacitor, and one has an ultra-dark capacitor for mellow, jazz-style tones.

[@allenbrininstool7558]

Please explain the riffs, tabs are too difficult to get them from...

[@kbtube8125]

where do the drums sounds come from?

[@shawndimery]

Sounds like Footloose!

[@dalealanbryant7062]

I like your style in studying a given area (riff, etc.), you don't break it down, so much, that, much just gets lost in the translation. Good, speed, in your demonstration.

[@boyan.guitar]

that tele though… (y)

[@paulmallen5796]

do I hear cissy strut ?

[@Odie50000]

remember don't use the bottom of your finger but the side for the bar type chords.

[@volwalker]

Andy, what are you using for the drum tracks and backing tracks?

[@TheDancingSaxophone]

I hear that song everywhere. How is it 'underrated'?

[@gutbucket260]

What about that sketchy little break after the cow bell solo?

[@smogfood]

How about a cranked up combo amp?

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Yep-it is one he always trots out....

[@ASquared007]

Spend time working on it.

[@2tonesg]

At 0:06, it sounds like "Footloose, footlose!" God, I hate that song. Haha.

[@RickMcCarthy]

Great job, though Joe plays the descending released bend with the pick and fingers (hybrid picking). The middle finger plays the percussive first note and the pick plays the second note which sounds as you release. Great job otherwise.

[@braberdebrabel22]

Hehe, yea :P

[@64Bandmaster]

show that second lead break down (around 2:30 in the song) & you've got a sub

[@texanfournow]

If you're upset and need to chill, just listen to Andy's Funk 49 slow tempo...

[@Sool737]

man, like phil x was not enough

[@xjamesxreedx]

Yup, same scale.

[@daniellazarov9059]

People who sell guitar lessons of course :D

[@nicholastesoriero4855]

wow charlie sheen plays pretty good guitar

[@edmiglia]

Trolls, in the digital world right?

[@pizzapie4me]

The other guitarist in my band (who's been playing for 8ish) can't do those either.

[@PBTazo]

Footloose sounds like this
