What are some good beginner funk tunes to start with? Something that isn't too difficult and can be picked up off of the record easily enough?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Is there a standard funk progression that most tunes follow like a blues does? Or is everyone different?
The groove on I is really all you need to develop your funk chops. Just forget about chord sequences, and think time, 16ths, and different articulations. And keep it simple - 3-string chords at most. Remember James Brown would use 2 or 3 guitarists, each playing very minimal parts - often single-note riffs not chords - that all locked together.Is there a standard funk progression that most tunes follow like a blues does?

To be honest, funk guitar is not a lot of fun
Yo Jon ... that's the first thing I've ever seen you write that was really kind of dumb and/or very opinionated ...
Makes me think you must be a super nerd ...
Funk guitar is super, super fun ... nothing else like if for many of us...
(mind you... I'm teasing... but that was out of character & well, out of line ...
Doesn't seem like you would be biased enough to make such a silly, uncalled for statement ...)
I used to play with a sax player who was the band leader at The Apollo. We were playing some Grover Washington one night, probably Mr. Magic and he nodded to me to solo. I smiled and told him I was having way too much fun grooving on the rhythm.
