Essential Funk Rhythm Guitar Techniques

Funk guitar is an exciting and fun style to play. There are a few techniques that can help you sound convincing in this style, and if you combine them you can come up with funky rhythm parts at will. In this video we’ll cover some of the key ideas that I focus on: muting, combining single note lines with chords and side to side vibrato. I also explain how I play with different levels of pressure in my fretting hand to get a pronounced percussive sound. https://practicemakesbettermusic.com/...
