Thank you so much for this concise lesson. I've watched countless funk strumming lessons by many popular UA-cam teachers and none of them have explained it as detailed and as well as you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
you are a great teacher . Glad to have found your channel . I have played 55 years but I am sure I will move ahead very well with your attention to detail and well presenting it . Thanks 😎
This was a fantastic lesson! I have struggled for a long time just trying to get the rhythm right but now because of your perfect explanation I can understand and practice knowing that I will eventually get up to speed with proper technique. Thank you!!
WOW! This lesson is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. You really broke it down in a clear & concise way. & Explaining & demonstrating the important techniques like how to hold the pick, pick thickness, proper angles, relaxing the wrist, alternative fretting, are absolute gold. Thanks so much! ❤️😊
@@Dolphinstreets I'm only a beginner, been playing guitar 18 months. My main genre of interest would be Blues, and I didn't especially like funk music but thought the techniques were good to learn. That's indeed been the case and it's given me a whole new appreciation of rhythm and left hand muting, indeed even I've learned to appreciate and funk guitar. FWIW at age almost 60 I'm a (very) adult beginner and will say to anyone reading and considering beginning to learn a musical instrument you're never too old to begin. I've always enjoyed listening to music, but since beginning to learn, music has taken on a whole different perspective that I've fallen in love with. It's an amazing rabbit-hole. We now live in an age where online tuition is very affordable, people like Robert dedicate significant amounts of time to helping others, and of course traditional lessons are still available. For busy professionals like myself, it's an outlet I can disappear into, relax and enjoy, without the pressure of having to ever be "good" at it. Just enjoy music for what it is and being able to be art of making some. I'm very grateful for people like Robert on UA-cam for contributing in such a positive way.
Such a good lesson. I think I solved some of my strumming challenges - changed the angle of the pick and took even softer pick. Sometimes my nails still catch the string. It is difficult to keep the same distance all the time. But I guess it is just practice. Or is there some tips?

@@Dolphinstreets Hello again, Just re-watched the video again and I have even more appreciation of the quality of the content you uploaded. I am currently working on how to do a 16th note swing style strum. I was unable to find any videos here on UA-cam that was clear and concise on that subject. The ones I found had too much going on and were not easy to follow. I am going check out your website and see what that has to offer. Thanks for posting this amazing content I will have some to jam and practice with that will be enjoyable.
Great lesson! Your trips on picking (grip, thickness, angle) were very helpful to me. One question, though: a teacher I know stresses doing both the strum like you do but ALSO (for stabs) keeping the hand moving (during rests) but NOT striking the strings at all. I find that hard to do. It requires a change of hand position to keep the strum going but not contacting the strings at all. Is that a common technique?
Yes, absolutely but by muting the strings with the fretting hand you can still hit the strings. You get a percussive sound but that’s often not an issue. The technique is very common.
There is big provlem to keep that 16th motor constant tempo, the pocket. Hell it makes me frustrated, I play guitar many years, can do some cool riffs that I like for my songs bud dem it is hard to keep that strumming dancy
@@vig237 да знаем мы енто все, спасибо. Задача сложна но решаема, надо играть. У Найла Роджерса все классное и поучительное в этом смысле. Хотя не всем его тайминг нравится. Есть ещё школа чувака Rose Bolton, там два часа рифов с объяснениями и от простого к сложному.
does anyone know where i can learn chords...im not interested in strumming...im looking for a channel that can teach me chords ...i know my basic chords...im looking more for specific chords like for example hes playing some "funk chords" my hands arent very big and my fingers arent the most flexible so i like to play alot of chords with two - three fingers... like 0xx032 or g7's or w.e this C chord this is x32030 ...so im looking for a channel that can teach me chords that are standard and that arent standard
A late reply but if you're still searching I recommend morrisman64 since he has a helluva lot of funk and soul songs where he just plays the tune and writes the chord name on the screen.

Very well dissected, just how you must learn - bare bone microscopic slow motion before you build up sideways and crystalize badly.
Great lesson as usual. Thank you, Robert.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video exactly what I was lookn for on strumming now the work begins.. shout out John frusiante the funk doctor!!🌶️
Excelent Robert !!
Gee thanks!
Great lesson and demo Robert, thank you! 🌌🌅🌠🕊👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Best Funk Intro in The internet!
That was great. Hard to believe this is for free. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This is Incredible! And I'd probably, eventually, master this if I could get my Strat to magically float in the air like Roberts! 🎸
He's using a transparent strap.
This is great thank you!
You're very welcome!
Great guitar teacher. i wanna play funk
Do it!
Thanks, Robert, for the new interesting music way!!! Very cool👍👍👍Nice video!!!

This video was very helpful. You've got yourself a new subscriber👍👍👍
Thanks!
Fantastic - Now if you could show how the Meters get that amazing percussive funk in People Say, that would be awesome.
Perfect. Thank you sir
Much appreciated
Thanks for addressing position and angle of the pic Huge issue for me!
Happy to help!
After searching 30mins this is what i need for funk strumming, all others are trash
Thanks!
so useful 😍
Glad you think so!

No contact at all is difficult - well for me at least.
cool🥰
R.R.!! Did U get our buddy Chris to play that cool Farfisa like organ or was that you!!? Jim C.
It was all BIAB! Band-In-A-Box.
Swagger, baby!
Alright!
nice
great lesson, but the key its A major rigth? because the E has a major third and a flat 7
Great lesson. Question: Any particular reason for playing in the key of E?
No.
Great lesson. Thank you. What kind of pick ups are in your Strat?
Thanks! Zexcoil
@@Dolphinstreets Thank you for your reply. ;)
Real funky time
Merci!
Youpiiii🇫🇷👍🏼🍒
Was there a diagram of the chord
What kind of pickups on your guitar?
Zexcoil
wow what the pickups?
Zexcoil
Sex coil?@@Dolphinstreets
No Zexcoil
👍👍
Do you use a compressor? Or Just the Guitar in the amp?
No compressor in this video.
There is big provlem to keep that 16th motor constant tempo, the pocket. Hell it makes me frustrated, I play guitar many years, can do some cool riffs that I like for my songs bud dem it is hard to keep that strumming dancy
Me too. I keep just doing upstroke stabs without the constant strumming. We know what we have to do. Good luck fam.
Поиграйте daft punk loose yourself to dance: 4 аккорда и более 5 минут 8+16 здорово помогает.

Yeah, Ross Bolton video is great. I still practice those exercises. I guess Robert will cover similar to that in his members club also…
@@guitartommo2794yeah, but Ross Bolton's course is free, and he actually can play that funky rhythm unlike Robert lol
Set 1.5x speed to get a Cory Wong tutorial. lol
