Hendrix Style Funk

Hey guys!

In this lesson we will play the rhythm section of a song that I wrote recently.

The main groove is in E7 (so you can think about E blues) with modulations in D major.


The main target here is to work on your timing and feel, in order to play cut through the mix!

Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shapes before practicing it at the normal speed.
