” The heart and soul of funk is rooted deeply in the rhythmic groove that drives the entire band. Mastering the art of syncopated rhythm and dynamic strumming patterns is essential to laying down a solid, infectious funk backdrop on guitar.

In this course, I’ll walk you through 10 funk rhythm approaches. We’ll play and practice together using TrueFire’s learning tools, which sync tabs to the videos with looping and slow-motion controls. I’ll demonstrate a technique, and we’ll put it to work immediately over a backing track.

Along the way, we’ll explore techniques and approaches like 6th & 9th combos, Side Steppin', and a rhythm pattern I call the Funky Flutter. We'll master the bounce technique, explore the harmonic potential of Dorian 3rds, cross over the bar line, and a lot more.”
