Fresh Funk Grooves

Hey guys!

In this lesson, we will play the rhythm section of Funk idea that I had recently.

Basically, it’s a groove in E minor with a nice chord progression, useful if you are willing to learn different chord positions on the guitar and obtain better control of the instrument.

The key here is to move a lot your picking hand by following the movement of the 16th notes.

Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shape before practicing it at the normal speed.
