very nice. I play mandolin, which is a sassy percussive instrument. I'm trying to incorporate funk in my playing. Your rhythm discussion and examples really help me. And the left hand being integrated with what the right hand is doing rhythmically. The extended chords on a mando, tuned in fifths, is a challenge -- four courses and often not enough notes available. But sometimes two or three note voicings get the idea. I gotta find the right ones though! But thanks for this, it makes a lot of sense.

Funk guitar is a lot harder than it seems. You need great rhythm and grooves and also a very good, relaxed technique if you wanna be able to play solid 10-minute funk jams, especially if you have a fast tempo going on. So yeah, funk guitar is a serious business.

I guess the hand tapping is just showing the16th note accents ( 1 e and a 2 e and a...) in the bar and helps to feel the rhthym. Feel the synchopation. When applying to the fret board it is just the fretting hand which determines where you play the accent...finger pressure on chord and by the muting technique.

Hi, I like your passion. Could you explain why I should use my middle finger for muting instead of lifting all fingers a bit? As the Bm7 chord is bar-chord, I would still mute all strings. Or doesn't it make any difference?
