    Those licks are pure magic. The dead notes are the metronome. Both Bootsy and Catfish were also drummers, which explains their uncanny ability to maintain rhythm.

    Rick outstanding lessons on some legendary Guitar funky licks by an all time cat whom ever since his early teens before his brother back in Cincinnati Ohio was the man that everybody wanted for sure as a duo they were the forefront of funk tunes for decades to come and leaders for guitar and bass players alike to emulate thank you very much even a drummer can like myself can learn from haha and I jammed with many known players from NJ to CA over the last 50 years best wishes 👍✌️

    Nice! Way to pick something that's not taught as often. 🤘
    A suggestion: add those time stamp windows in the description so the students can come back to the video and skip to the riffs they need/want
    I'm quick enough to pick it up by watching you do it full speed but I remember the days of rewinding through frustrating slow speed riffs 🤘🤣
