Lockdown Licks no.146. ‘Funk 49’ by The James Gang-signature chordal riffs and single note lead runs. Played on a Stratocaster through a NUX M8 amp on ‘crunch’ setting with a little reverb. Original guitar played by Joe Walsh on a Stratocaster. I don’t do requests but I know it’s a favourite lick of a friend of mine from the US.
