The definitive guide to funky rhythm guitar playing

Welcome to the percussive, rhythmic, textured, chicka-whacka world of Funk Fission from monster player and top educator Chris Buono. Don't let the title of this study program fool ya – this is NOT a "funk" course (although funk guitar freaks will indeed flip over this one). Rather, Buono's curriculum of funk guitar lessons is designed for intermediate to advanced players who dig and play any form of "groove-based" music; be it rock, blues, jazz, R&B, and of course funk.

The rhythm section is the engine of any funk band. If that engine is humming then feet are tapping and people are dancing. Guitarists play an essential role in the rhythm section; they not only have to lock into the pocket with the bass player and drummer, they also have to spice up the groove with percussive techniques, single-note riffs, and chord punches.

The definitive guide to funky rhythm guitar playing

Hi, I'm Oz Noy and welcome to Essentials: Funk Rhythm. Funk guitar is rooted in rhythm, packed with concepts like groove, playing in the pocket, and interacting with other musicians. In this edition of Essentials, we'll jump right in to the playing with 11 funk pieces in a variety of keys and feels. We'll start with a fundamental rhythm incorporating funk chordal runs. Next, we'll cover a repetition based rhythm part, then I'll show you how smaller chords can really help emphasize a groove. We'll go over some right hand techniques and really start to drive our rhythms. Then, we'll work on a funky approach using 7/6 chords, work on a wah-wah inspired guitar groove, and look at voice leading. Incorporating rhythm guitar grooves with other instruments is another key approach, so we'll focus on how the guitar interacts with the drums and bass. Finally, we'll use muting to enhance a funky rhythm part. I'll perform every piece and break it down for you, pointing out every technique you need to know.
