About this lesson

There’s funky, and then there’s Funk #49. Joe Walsh laid down one of the dirtiest grooves of the ‘70s, and it still hits like a truck. Let’s break down the riff, get that gritty tone, and feel the swagger that made James Gang a vibe all their own. Quick, filthy, and unforgettable.
