Jazz Funk 49 (By Tal)

Tal Rules

My brother came down for the Thanksgiving holiday and we pretty much jammed non-stop..
One of the tunes we knocked the dust off of was the old James Gang tune \"Funk 49\". Always been one of my favorites.
(Joe Walsh was the guitarist for the James Gang before he became Joe Walsh)
So I worked up a jazz version incorporating the chord changes and twisted em' 9 ways to Sunday..

Done with 4 tracks only.
Track 1: Midi drums..(Courtesy GNX4)
Track 2: Ryhthm guitar
Track 3: Lead guitar
Track 4: Bass Guitar (Guitar to Bass Patch)..

All guitar parts performed on the ES175 running 12 guage flatwound strings...

Mixed with Sonar Home Studio LX...

The tune is at the link below..

Wow! This was really amazing…I think one of the lines in this song was ‘I know were your going’…Man, I had no idea where you were going in this one…You were all over that fret board…Pretty tasty stuff.

Really, really nice Tal!! I loved the tone you are using - what guitar did you use for this piece?? Its a nice change to hear jazz guitar and I think its something many guitarists put in the too hard basket - I have been one of them :oops: but I am trying to convert! I seem to be listening to a lot of Robben Ford lately which is making the guys in the band scratch their heads!!

I really get off on hearing guitar that makes you think and I can appreciate you mentioning the chord changes are twisted 9 different ways although my feeble brain barely recognises 3!

Oh well, might as well go peel some more paint off the cave wall with my Recto......

Nice job there. Sweet.

Haha I love it, I used to play this jam in a band a few years back and like this one just as much. That's some crazy fretwork, it kind of feels like some cheesy elevator music or a laundry detergent commercial, once again good job!

Tal Rules

Thanks guys...
Sorry for the belated post..
Been roaming the country side now that the holidays have come and gone..

Thanks for your kind comments...
Hopefully I can keep off the road and check in a little more often..

See ya,
Tal..

I thought for sure I had posted on this tune. I know I listened to it because I was thinking, who would come up with this arangement for this tune. I would have never come up with this. Very cool. I guess I got busy with the holiday and forgot to come back and post.
Anyway I'm here now. Very cool indeed.
