Stayed tuned for more weekly lessons. Coming up next - another classic guitar solo! :)
Dude I love the solo lessons but can you do more of this fundamental stuff? You rule!
Thanks man, and yeah I plan on doing more fundamental lessons moving forward, mixed in with the solo lessons :)
Now I just need a Strat! LOL Great lesson, PDX.
Cool lesson! I’ve been meaning to learn some different stuff rather than just rock, haha.
Thanks Josh! And yeah it's fun to branch out, and then pull it back into the rock world too :)
Thanks! EVH also ends Romeo Delight with a funk chord as well
I think you are right! :)
Lmao i love it bro "skanky slinky tone" best descriotion ever...god i missed you...great lesson bro!!
Hey bro, great to see you again! Been a while! :)
Play that funky music white boy! (so glad I got this in first) :-)
LOL I wasn't expecting that, but I deserve it! :)
this also reminded me of Jane's Addiction and Prince
Been Caught Stealing from JA - I love that riff! :) Prince was great too - such an underrated player
Always love your videos! Your clear speaking, parts detailed in descriptions and of course your absolute awesome playing. Happy to see them more frequently
Btw.. i find funk one of the hardest genres, you either catch the groove or you dont. One of main reasons i love NUNO so much
Hey bro, thanks for the great comment. You are so right - you either catch the groove or you don't. :) Rock on!
I couldn't flatten my ring finger without my middle finger coming down and muting the A string. Had to incorporate the pinky, works fine.
Ah glad you found a way that works! :)
Loved this. Thanks for the lesson. Keep it up great work.
Thanks bro! :)
Awesome lesson Dave. Cant wait to try it. Need to work on loosening my wrist and funk seems like a great way to practice. Thanks for those chords.
You are welcome Dave! I hope it helps :)
thanks, guitar freak!
You are welcome, Ivan! :)
Thanks PDX, that was super helpful and fun to play along. I think I've got the left hand fingerings down for these positions. Suggestions to get the crucial right hand rhythm engaged? playing it slow just doesn't sound right, and fast and sloppy doesn't either lol. many thanks in advance. great lesson, though it was a little hard to hear clearly. Cheers.
Hey bro, thanks! And sorry the audio on the voice isn't super clear. You are right - playing it slow, you tend to lose the feel. Finding the right tempo is important. Perhaps try playing along to a metronome, using that to fine the speed that is most comfortable?
you forgot the most important thing to funk, a groovin bass line! But that scratchin will fix anyones itch.
Oh yeah, critical! :)
VERY COOL :)
Thanks Cameragirl! Wow, haven't seen your name in a LONG time :)
@@PDXguitarfreak saw the share on fb :) thanks for the lesson :)
at 8:40 he suggests turning down your volume if you are on humbuckers. LMAO. Asking a guitarist to turn down is like trying to tell a 4 year old to clean their room. They are either going to cry and or freak out about it, or it's just never going to happen.
did you ever make a video on Brad Gillis Solo, Don't tell me you love me?... Hope all is well on your end, be safe bro, rock on
Ah I actually considered doing that one bro. Gotta get to it some day :)
I kept thinking of Led Zeppelin song while watching this
Yeah someone called out The Crunge :)
❤️🎶🎼🎶🎼👍
✌😊
Funkers are people who dig the funk; Little funkers, Big funkers, Old funkers, Young funkers, Foxy funkers, Mother funkers, Papa funkers......
:)
Doesn't Jimmy Page use this chord in The Crunge?
I think he might just use the G B E strings of the chord :) ... but I could be wrong :)
If you don't like, what PDF plays here, get the FUNK Out. Oh so Extreme!
Sorry, I had to. Woohoo dico duck
Listen to your preface. This is a straight up blues chord. :-P
LOL hey name another chord that's works better for funk? :)
Super Freak layin' down some Rick James riffs, Get the Funk outta here?? Hope you're just going a little stir crazy from the Covid19/Zombie Apocalypse, don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with a little funk but it doesn't seem natural coming from you 🤣🤣..lol. Anyhoos you and your family stay safe, personally I don't leave my house without my Nerf Scatter Blaster Super Soaker loaded up with Lysol at my side just in case I run into a Walking Infected ☠️☠️can't be too careful these days. 🤘🤘😷😷
Hey double D! I've actually loved playing funk riffs since I was a teenager... my metal friends said I was crazy, but I didn't care LOL :) Stay safe bro! :)
@@PDXguitarfreak I hear you just ribbing on you...lol
That wasn't eruption... just sayin'. 😁
LOL, yeah yeah yeah... :)
