Guitar Lesson Overview
Funk guitar grooves are fun, and here's a chording shape I like when playing over a E minor groove. The two chords are Em7add13 (with no 5th) and a G major triad. In between, you just funk around on the D note on the G string, muted.

Comment added on June 11, 2008Hey Robert! I've been lurking for a while now, GREAT STUFF! If you combine this Em13 and G triad 3 or 7 times and resolve on a (what inversion?) B chord you get a real James Brown thang happenin' Unh! Hit me!
Comment added on March 31, 2008Thanks for the cool lesson Robert! I just picked up an Electro Harmonix Doctor Q Nano for $20 bucks on ebay. I was looking for some funky riffs to learn, low and behold an email from you about funk guitar…great timing! Thanks again for your CD and web based lessons. Paul
Comment added on March 30, 2008Mark, I don't understand what you mean. What makes it E minor is the note G on the B string, on the 8th fret. For major, it would need to be G#.
Comment added on March 30, 2008Because the chord/riff is played on the lower half of the 7th fret or B does that justify it as an Em as opposed to E major?know that E A barred at B exsists - thinking root here.
Comment added on March 30, 2008Juve, you mean the JamMan? It's a looping pedal.
Gary, sure you can move that one up and down the neck. It's a good dominant7 chord inversion.
ENJOYED YOUR FUNK LESSON,ROBERT.
THIS IS A MOVABLE CHORD UP AND DOWN
THE NECK,IS'NT IT??????
THANK'S
GARY
Hi Robert,
I really enjoy your videos and have wanted to thank you for sharing. Some time ago you were working with some sort of recording device that allowed you to record your groove down first so you could play over it. I don't remember what it was called but I'd love to try it. Can you tell how I can get one. Thanks, Juve
