Lesson Overview

Get into the groove with some funky guitar! This guitar lesson shows how to play a simple groove. A proper right hand technique is very important in order to keep good time and make it sound funky. The technique of the left hand is also very important, because it will take care of the muting of the strings.

I hope you can learn from this technique and use it in your own playing. When the technique is working for you, there are many songs and riffs you can learn or even create yourself. The cool riff in the Stevie Ray Vaughan song Couldn't Stand The Weather is perfect for this technique.

I appreciate the way you slow down and and break each part into simple units of learning. You have a great gift of teaching, not just playing. Thanks for the lesson. This is my first lesson in funk. Great job.

Graham, that is very inspiring to hear! It is sometimes hard for me to find the time to continue producing decent videos, my I keep trying.

Cool that you got your guitar there, G&L make great guitars too.

Hey Robert,
Thanks so much for this entire series of lessons. You have found your true calling as a great teacher and a great musician. This is the most inspiring practical site I have ever found. I have really made progress in a matter of hours using your 'can do' videos. Thanks so much.

PS I have a G&L White Strat that I bought in Zobrist's guitar shop in Seattle where Hendrix bought his guitars.
