This is a sweet lesson! I'm having problems getting the first part of it down though. I can't seem to get the open ringing of the strings to sound right. However I must admit I'm playing this really slowly to get it down b/c I don't quite have the right hand control yet.

Welcome Ivan! I love jamming like this when I'm all alone, but lately I've been very stale playing the same riffs over and over... and over. This opens up loads of new possibilities. Keep 'em coming, please!

Ivan - when playing the open strings are they done with a up on the D&G, then a down on the D, then an up on the E5 power cord?
Also is the first E5 that is played on the D&G (freted at 2), played right after the open E?
Lastly, are you picking the first 3 notes or hammering on / pulling off the 3b and open E?
thanks!
- Gerald

You are correct Gerald, open D&G are played up, then open D down and then up on the E5 on the 7th fret. ( try muting the G when going up to the E5 since it tends to ring ). Yes it is played right after the open E, although I think you are reffering to an A5 (E&A - second fret of D&G). Again correct, I pick them all, and maybe do a little 1/4 bluesy bend on the G, but that`s up to you. You can play it with for example with only a pulloff or something, the choise is yours - whatever do you like best and find interesting. No problem, glad to help |

Thanks for the input. When muting the G - are you doing that with your left hand as you slide down the neck to hit the E5 on the 7th fret or with your palm of your right hand?
I've been practicing this lesson all weekend! I really am enjoying it although I cannot play it properly yet. I'm going to keep at it though until I can!

That is right man, you are doing it properly. You must mute it with your left hand while sliding. Only a small touch will do. More funky grooves coming up soon, and a faster ones too |

This is a great lesson Ivan!!
Just struggling in nailing the E9 from the E7 in the first part of the riff. Just needs more practice!!
Are you going to look at any music theory for funk guitar? Such as typical chord progressions.
Keep up the good work, look forward to the next one.

As a matter of fact, in two weeks my funk lesson involving some great progressions for funk will be over. And since a love the funk man, I`ll do it sooner because of the great feedback. More funk (and theory) coming up in 10days Keep on rockin` |

I see that you have an exellent gear (better than mine actually ) so that is not the problem. FOcus on your technique, and try tu mute all the strings that are not played. THat really helps a lot. If you have some specific problem regarding your technique or anythiing at all, I`ll be glad to help you the best way I can. For example describe how you sonud when playin this, or if you can record yourself and upload it here that would be ideal.

I've noticed a slight mistake in the tab for the lick at the end, it should be
E|--(12)---------------------------|
B|---10s-11-10-8-10-8--------------|
G|--------------------9-7~---------|
D|------------------------10-9-7~--|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
it was just missing the D on the 3rd string, otherwise it was flawless. Gonna take me a while to get to your standard though Ivan |

Hey Ivan -
Spencer from Seattle here. Finally got time on Christmas holiday to sit down and do this lesson.
Having a tuff time nailing that first E9 chord consistently. I guess that comes with practice. The rest of it..very cool stuff. Fun to play.
Happy New Year! Seattle @ 5:47pm
