Funk Fusion Grooves

Hey guys!

In this lesson we will play the rhythm section of a song that I wrote recently.

Basically it’s a groove in C Blues (we can think about it the key of F). This progression is useful if you are willing to learn different chord positions on the guitar, triads and inversions.

The main target to focus on is the strumming on the 16ths notes.

Remember to keep your picking hand moving down/up to create a solid groove. Be sure to memorize each chord shape before practicing it at the normal speed.


Hope you guys dig it and stay tuned for the lead solo of the song.
