Before we get into chords and grooves I would recommend you spend some time working on your strumming technique because playing Funk is quite different from regular strumming, the mechanics are looser and it more of a rotation than a pendulum!

*Thank you British Norm MacDonald*
I'll never look at him the same.. thanks 🤣
RIP Norm, love ya big man, gone but not forgotten.
He's aussie
@@eternalsence3033Yep, Tasmanian IIRC

I NEEDED this video. I love funk guitar but I can never get the strumming to sound natural and "smooth" like the greats.
Best breakdown of funk strumming I've seen. Thank you Justin!
1:44 me every Friday night
+PIneapple29 ha ha ha ha!!
+PIneapple29 that's funny
Me every night
😂😂😂
lol thats a rookie number
Hi Justin < I am trying and exercising right now and every little effect such as the pick slipping and moving between fingers that you describe actually happens. You’re the only youtube teacher that teaches in this detail which is enormously helpful!!!
Perfect! Perfect! Your explanation about holding the pic was so helpful. It has to be loose otherwise it gets stuck in between the strings that is so frustrating and hard to get that balance. Thank you so much, Justin!
I'm playing lots of funk (Niles etc) but FUNK STRUMMING is definitely my nemesis. As you say - practice is the key but I still find it so difficult. Thanks for this tuition.
Quality lesson from a quality tutor and for free!!!!
Hope there is going to be more of these funk lessons! Thank you very much justin, keep on rocking!
Thank you so much for making this video, I'm just starting on funk strumming and couldn't find any videos on the actual technique until this one, it has helped me so much already.
I love this basic tech stuff. When I get some cash, I shall contribute, I promise!
Fantastic simulitude... "it's like you put your hand in the water and than you shake it to let the drops out from your finger...". How you thought that? Genius!!!! :) ...thanks a lot for this lesson. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thanks Justin, another great lesson. I owe you big time for all you've done for my guitar playing. I still stink, but I recognize that as a defect in myself.
Justin is the best online teacher bar none. Thanks, Justin!
Love this lesson! I think funk genre really needs alot of rhythm and groove!
Been watching you for the past month. Had the 6.2, didn't like them for a couple months. Bought rp-600m with a dac. Sound amazing. Was gonna sell the 6.2s but now I'm having second thoughts! Love the way you talk about audio. Informative and personal. Keep it up man! See the numbers rising
Best UA-camr ever.
Very well done video! Justin, it is amazing how you still surprise with new ideas even after all the lessons you did! The "Pick rotate lesson" is very useful to me. Thank you.
great!
Justin, we are a southern brazilian rock and funky band, and we Love yours guitar lessons! congratulations!
Thanks man. Practicing Have a Cigar and struggling to understand the funky strumming part of solo. This will for sure help. Thumbs up. 👍👍
Me too! That's the hardest part of that song, I'm having trouble strumming and muting the strings just right
best teacher - thanks for those details because some apply to overall guitar too - I needed to see those specific details where other people assume an awful lot when they begin teaching lessons - you don't - i.e. holding the pick and wrist etc - it really helps
1:50 I saw my husband practicing that strumming technique yesterday afternoon as I passed the room door. I did wonder what he was up to. He must have a guitar on order. Funny, he's never mentioned any interest in music before.
really helpful for a guy like me to start learning funk
Thank you for your videos.
(You are the only reason I can play at all.)
+VideoNozoki ur welcome!
Hey man . "our" Justin is killin' it with Katie Malua > You go boy
Loving how much wear you've already put on the suhr Justin!
HUGE THANKS!!!
YOU'RE A BIG LAD !!!
I use fairly heavy picks that have a hole and raised letters for texture…in order to have a good grip…
Surely your 1.5M followers say so but you are a very good teacher.
why thank you :)
I use MaxGrip dunlop pick which has pattern on both side of pick so my strumming finger wouldn't slip. Hope it helps
I use those too and they still effing turn on me... Just not all the way around...
It seems to work using my first and middle fingers to support the plectrum on either side...
But hey, more practice is requires...
For some reason that motion at 1:26 feels so familiar and seems to come naturally! 🤔 Great lesson as always!
ayo 😳
I've always wanted to start playing funk. I hope this series keeps going.
+Nick Yelovich sure is!
Thanks! Really good and thorough lesson! and thanks for addressing the pic rotation issue!
What is the best tone for funk? There's a lever of tone. Thanks I hope you will answer
Clean with mild compression is the place to start. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher
Very helpful thank you, the technique and mechanics I was using were wrong, until now. Much appreciated.
Exactly the instruction I needed. Thanks Bro!
I’m not really a guitarist, but this is really helpful with some of the mechanical obstacles I’ve had over the years
Can't wait to see that Suhr in a few years. Your pick is leaving vertical streaks, which are being picked up by the studio lights. Should leave some interesting wear marks in a few years. Thanks for the lesson!
+northof50now actually that's just paint crackle, some kind on 'antique' effect.
What a great lesson! 👍
Strumming all the strings muted really started to sound a lot like DigDug after a while. It's 3 AM and I should sleep probably...
Happy new year!!!! One question: what’s pick do you use for funky/rock music?
Great tut. mate - Cheers ! : D
Justin, you may be the OG - but you're still the best :D
Sweet! Thanks!
Superfly man!! SuperDuperFly 🤘
can you do the greeting song rhcp?
Thanks for counting!!! GREAT!
I like this guy
Cheers Justin! great as always..maybe a good lesson could be "Cream" of the Genious Prince! keep rockin' ;)
Thanks Justin. Would you also teach us how to set the sound and eq? I don't have strat 😔
thats is cool !!! thanks
Thank you Australian Norm MacDonald.
I was thinky the same HAHAHAHAHAH
Thank you for such a great course!! always wanted to learn how to play funk!! any recommended viewing/listening for inspiration?
+Mike Larson see the web site dude, recommended albums with every lesson!
What gauge pick would be best for funk strumming? Cheers and Happy Christmas 👍
Nice, thank you! What effect do people use to get lush rhythm chords so it doesn't sound to clicky on the top end?
Hey Justin! this lesson have a lot of common with your RUST 2 DVD which I want to purchase. Are you going to make available downloading ISO again soon?
молодец!
tried this on acoustic... right arm is on fire...
Yep
Dont bother, you're meant to do it on electric. Try it again on a stratocaster or telecaster
can relate
Question. I am one of those who don't like playing with a pick. Can you play this without?
Yes, but playing funk without a pick will be heavy on your fingers. You need high precision and exact timing that is easier to achieve with a pick though. Here's is a lesson about strumming without a pick: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/how-to-strum-without-a-pick-b1-107 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide
excellent as always!! but you should probably mention the best pick gauge. Because if you be using a 1mm or above its much harder and string breaking is more likley?
+Chris Booth it's about to loose grip! The pick I'm using here (Blue Chip) has NO flex at all, neither the Jazz III I use as well.
Nope. m
Most guitarists use pick above 1mm. They do not hinder the strumming at all. If you are hard on the strings it means you technique isn't right. When i was a beginner i thought like you, but I stuck to hard picks because they allow the versatility of moving from strumming to solo lines. Which you can't do with a flappy pick. Work on your technique.
+Clyde O. DunZ I dunno man, Paul Gilbert uses 0.60mm and he seems to handle his solo lines reasonably well. Some people use thick picks for funk, others use thinner picks for shred. Those people probably buck the respective trends of their genres, but they do exist.
I think it's worth encouraging people to try various thicknesses and keep experimenting, rather than asserting that one type of pick is for grown ups and another for beginners. Certainly though, if someone's never tried a thicker pick, I'd recommend them giving one a go. But the mentality that someone's not a real guitarist unless their using a thicker pick is probably isn't helpful (I understand this isn't what you're saying, but some people do).
+Maxmaxz Don't put words in my mouth. I never said he should use a thick pick, nor did I say that if you don't use a thick pick you aren't this or that. I simply stated why thick picks are better. It is a fact thick picks are better for solo lines because they don't bend around the string. I never made any division nor any distinction based on what you use, so don't try coming in trying to look like the good guy of the situation by inventing facts.
+Chris Booth - I think an entire series on picks, picking would be great. In the past 2+ years of teaching myself guitar, a couple of things become clear: a) to get to the next level, the secret is in the picking hand. b) what you use to pick/pluck has to be figured out for yourself. At best, someone can tell you what they use, what others use, what "most" use, etc. In the end, you'll have to figure it out. My collection is up to a dozen different sizes and shapes. Only now am I starting to gravitate to a basic size/shape.
This is so weird. When I first played guitar, my strumming technique was the funk style and when I tried the normal strumming, It felt so awkward to play!!!
Yah Mine To
Same for me too, looks like we already 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙 it up since the beginning.😄
I intent to ignore normal strumming this is just a better motion in general
Another thing that helps is a thin pick

He's not wearing a hat, so has creds with me already ^ ^
Dont mind me, just a mental reminder. 11:44. E-ander-
Suggest me pick gage For funk playing
Justin, you could do "I shot the sheriff" rhythm lesson ;)
yes!!!!
+Joe Rozmanassa heres me playing it on a french tv show with katie melua - ua-cam.com/video/vatKjG3G3Xk/v-deo.html
+Joe Rozmanassa done a lesson already... also see the lessons on triads ;)
+JustinGuitar Thnx!! ;)
More relaxed? It's slippery.
1:52 it feels nice? Start slow get your technique right.....sorry I had to lol
i don‘t think i‘m doing it right. When i strum, most of the time, the pick seems to „stick on the strings“.. making strumming super hard.
Might be the angle of the pick thats bas? But i feel like doing that rotation motion only exaggerates that, making it even harder and rather bending strings than actually strumming them
It is always worth checking the fundamentals if things aren't working. www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/how-to-hold-your-guitar-b1-102

RIP Norm McDonald "Ceeekiulaa"
it looks easy but its fuckin not
i dropped my pick in the guitar at 1:39
uh, how the hell to hold the pick while strumming like this.. I keep the pick between my thumb and tip of index finger to keep it there
So let me get this right, you're saying the key is to tense up, keep my wrist really stiff, right? Be sure not to relax? OK, got it.
+VideoNozoki yep - you got it. well done you're amazing.
I'm so early in learning I don't even know what a scale is 🤷♂️
So it’s actually very normal that your pick moves while playing
I struggle with this
My pick spins around between my fingers and it's very annoying. Don't know what the deal is.
Bob Marsh
Get different picks. Some have ridges that prevent the spinning. Non-smooth picks.
I use a bradawl and partly push it through the pick. It forces little spikes into the opposite side of the pick which makes it a lot easier to grip. Saw that tip somewhere on youtube. Pick never rotates now.
Try to keep your pick flat with the strings. If it's not flat it will spinnnnnnnn. Happened to me.
What is the tattoo on your right forearm of?
How about 32 strumming?
what is the name on this picking style?
jonas larsen
Relaxed stroker.
You look like Norm Macdonald
gee mack s channel
Заебись!
I'm I the only one who can't hold the pick without it moving around? With every kind of strumming. If I hold it tighter I think it's going to be too tight
Glue in place
@@Dimlights419 I'm considering that
or marty Schwartz
ty captain american
When you are not demonstrating the circular or arcing motion, it sure looks to me like you are not doing it at all. Example: around the 7:00 mark.
It's funny cause being mechanical is the opposite of funk
I know you get this alot but Jesus Christ loves you very much and I don't want you to miss out on what he has for you to please turn to Jesus ✝️💞✝️✝️
:D DDDD
+Jyotirmoy Mandal :)
Wtf is this . Like in the middle of the video he starts playing with his pick not aware that he is shooting a video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How can you write in English like that, but not understand what he's saying? He said when you're starting to strum like he's doing in the video, you might drop the pick a lot, or unconsciously let the pick turn around, pointing out that it is useful to be able to do rotate it back into the proper position, without panicking and losing the rhythm. It's exactly what a tutor would do face to face with you, if their pick rotated and they had the thought to use it as a lesson. All Justin's videos show, describe and explain whatever the main subject is very well. I think so, anyway, and I don't think a little tangent that gives you extra knowledge. Reading what you write, I thought he was going to lose track of what he was saying originally as he was too busy trying to hold the pick on his lip and nose by scrunching them together, or something. Lol.
thats not funky
Best UA-camr ever.
Feels cool norm Macdonald teaching me funk lol ....great lesson btw
