  • Hi GMC!

    Today we gonna play some funk rhythm guitar with a swing feel (or hip-hop feel).

    This swing feel is accomplished by delaying the second and fourth 16th of each beat, so your upstrokes should be slightly delayed. Of course the amount of swing can vary from one groove to another.

    Start by working slowly with a metronome, scratching all the 16ths notes with your right-hand.

    Also try to implement various "degrees" of swing feel.

    Have fun & funky practice !

    Steph
