Hey man,I've sat down this evening and tried to learn loads of Motown/disco/funk pop songs as I can to add to my repertoire ready for the next academic year, and your tutorials and playing are simply the best! you're doing absolute bits!! (Doing amazing work)
great lesson. Perfect chord voicings, flawless strumming. I'm trying to play that F/G chord with two fingers like you do, but my "muscle memory" seems to cause me to get my index finger on the D string, and thus I'm playing it more like a G9 chord. Have to work on that.
Thanks Richard. You can play that chord a number of ways, this is just the way I saw Nile Rogers play it. You could also play it as a single barre although you would have to be careful about muting the outside strings.
Hi This is awesome playing. Thank you. The explanation of the strumming pattern in the chorus was not to me clear. Sorry. I think what you were saying was (4) + (1) & a 2- e - + (a) 3 + 4 + D d u D u d D D D D =down strum U=up strum d =down strum muted u=up strum muted ( ) = do not strum Well this is how I am interpreting it all and applying it to my strumming pattern. I love the chord patterns by the way. This is not aiming to be a criticism - I love the way you are playing this but struggled to understand it fully at the part related to the strumming pattern in the chorus. I have it now. Thank you again! You are such a great guitarist!.
+Reneguitario Thanks. I learnt early on that you need a lot of lighting to get clear videos out of this camcorder. I just a have a cheap video light. When I turn them on it looks like broad daylight in the room. The setting on the camcorder is . www.amazon.co.uk/BPS-Continuous-Lighting-Softboxes-Aluminum/dp/B008N757H8/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1457108151&sr=1-2&keywords=video+lighting
+Dave Price thanks for the info . working on your George Benson solo . oh boy . gonna need some patience. its the fluent speed that's hard to achieve the lesson is first class though . great breakdown .
Hi Dave, just love your lessons. Is there any chance that you would look at Get life back to music with Daft Punk? I am struggeling with the funky guitar in the intro that is playing with the distorted guitar :-)
Hey Dave are the guitar positions different on the studio recording compared to the way Nile plays it live? I noticed he plays the A and G on the 12th and 10th fret positions in the live versions where you can see his fingers. Not that it really matters I suppose but I'm just curious.
Dam man you are so close, the chorus is wrong but you're the ONLY one who's picked up on the chromatic run haha check out his interviews, he shows the shapes he uses with the pull offs etc :)
Hi Peter, although I would agree that this is a Mixolydian chord progression it is still in the key of A major. Keys are expressed in a basic major and minor tonality and not by their many scale variations. A Mixolydian scale is basically a major scale with a b7 interval so it’s basic tonality is major. As a working guitarist I have seen the sheet music for this song many times and it’s always shown in the key of A major with accidentals added for the necessary adjustments. A good reason why keys are expressed this way would be the song House of the Rising Sun. The song is in the key of A minor yet it borrows harmony from the Dorian and Harmonic minor scale. It would be ludicrous to describe the key of that song as A natural/dorian/harmonic minor so we simply say A minor. I hope that helps.
I always find it a waste of time trying to learn what another guy did I prefer to spend my time " creating" something rather than learning other people's something
@@Solid_Snake99 why should I spend my time learning somebody else's style when I can create my own. That style belongs to the other person. Its his DNA. go right ahead and try to mimic --that suits you so your point is USELESS
Tip of the hat. Love the tutes. Seriously good. Thanks for posting these golden disco-dance-funk tunes from my hey-day...
Great tutorial, thanks Dave.

EXCELENT Dave - So fluid and well tutored, love the Strat too. Keep up the good work x
Graham Houghton Cheers Graham, I will!
Amazing tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
I can get cracking on this one now I can play again after a shoulder injury from the gym.

How do you know the Tempo to all your songs
Your video with the HC-V110 is very crisp and clear. What are your settings? I have the same camera and my vids often come out grainy.

awesome lessons dave . i;m curious about the backing tracks whats the deal ?
+teej Thanks, I just found a free midi file, imported it into Logic and changed the sounds.
+Dave Price thanks for the info . working on your George Benson solo . oh boy . gonna need some patience. its the fluent speed that's hard to achieve the lesson is first class though . great breakdown .
When I play along to yours its fine but when I play with the original it seems slightly out of key. Have you modded the pitch?
I made up my own backing track so that is at concert pitch. Some older recordings fall in between pitches.
I miss Dave :(

+Tan Gerine Not that important, I've seen him play it both ways. He often mixes up his chord voicings when playing live.
Hi Dave, can you tell me how many bars per chords. Thanks
1 bar per chord.
through all the song? thanks for the quick reply
Love the sound. What are the POD settings for this? I'd love to dial a similar tone into my HD500X :) Thanks Dave.
Thanks. Fender Deluxe model with a bit of compression.
Dave Price thank you! Which compressor, and how much? I really struggle with it on the pod products!
I could send the patch if you give me your email.
Dam man you are so close, the chorus is wrong but you're the ONLY one who's picked up on the chromatic run haha check out his interviews, he shows the shapes he uses with the pull offs etc :)
Are you on Fiverr.com?
No. I don't know much about the website.
