    Perfect for where I’m at! I’m doing some of this already and there’s some good stuff to mine in there.
    When I finally learned a little bit of drums, my guitar playing came alive. The recent band I was in (I moved) I was the rhythm player. Someone happened to video a piece. I was also the sound guy and I could see me watching the board and the vocalists and not focused on my playing My right arm was a machine cranking out the pocket, and that’s when I finally saw myself as a solid rhythm player. Those hours paid off...

    Ok I broke my head over this one for way to long. And then he says "Mann this is soo easy" :( !!
    If you're a regular mortal like me and don't know what is going on, here is how I understand it: It's a shuffle rhythm counted 1 N tri-puh-let tri-puh-let 4. This is why you'll see him hit those downstrokes after downstrokes. It's because down up down triplets sound stronger. It took too long for me to stop thinking 'one e and uh' on this cause I am a tad dull and funk hurr durr -_-"...

    ‘PFunk’ wouldn’t say that. Bootsy would say that. Boogie (RIP) is the original bassist for PFunk. Bootsy, the bass player for the JBs, came into the PFunk pantheon later. Funk guitar doesn’t end with Catfish and James Brown. That’s just where it starts.
