Band Question-Guitar Lead Funk

[thebassace111]

I'm in a new band with a dry rock style with elements of funk. Basically thick bassline with tight rythm section, slap sometimes, etc. Now this isn't a bass question, but I'm not sure about something and I normally turn to the forums . We have only one guitar and I wanted to get the lead electric guitar sound, funk chords combined with single notes basically on the high strings. So the bass rules the deep as usual and the guitar rules the treble. How I do I get the particular sound for the guitar?

Thanks

How many strings does your bass have?

have the guitar player do a lot of chords higher up on the fretboard, and have him use his wah pedal a lot and have him mute a lot.
