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

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.....

[intro] this is the verse also
e|----------------------------------------|--------------------|
B|-----8----0---------------------------xx|7-5---7h8-7-7--7-5--|
G|--7b---b7-5-[b7-b7-b7]--7p5p0------2--xx|7-5h6-7---7-7--7-5h6|x4
D|-----------------------------7p5p0-2--xx|7-5---7h9-7-7--7-5--|
A|-----------------------------------0----|--------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|--------------------|
[in the part that's bracketed, you let of the bend just a
little bit each time you pick it. if you listen to the song,
you will understand wat im talkin about and all this will fall
into place]


then this little riff comes in...
e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------|
D|-7p5-------------7-7p5----------|
A|----7-5-3--------7----7-5-3-----|
E|---------3/5--xx-5---------3/5~-|

D|-7p5----------xx-7-7p5----------|

E|---------3/5--xx-5---------3/5~-|

e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------|
D|-9p7----------xx-9-9p7----------|
A|----9-7-5-----xx-9----9-7-5-----|
E|---------5/7--xx-7---------5/7~-|

e|----------------------------------|

G|--------------------------------7-|
D|-9p7----------xx-9-9p7----------6-|
A|----9-7-5-----xx-9----9-7-5-----7-|
E|---------5/7--xx-7---------5/7--0-|

then there is a little spot where they
play these weird soundin drums while some
dude in the backgound yells and stuff, and then
the solo(my favorite part) comes in.
e|-----------|-b10--8-----|---------------------|
B|-------5---|-------10---|--7-5---7--7x7-7-5---|
G|---2---5---|------------|--7-5h6-7--7x7-7-5h6-|
D|---2---5--0|------------|--7-5---7--7x7-7-5---|
A|-0-0------5|------------|---------------------|

G|-5h6-7-5h6-7---7-7--7-5h6-|
D|-5---7-5---7h9-7-7--7-5---|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

then they play this riff as the song fades out.
