Where the funk is 'Funky Monks' by rhcp

[@Chealseaftw1234]

rhinoonarampage the best funk riff ever created

[@Izzyshit]

truth

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Yeah, i miss "Do That Stuff" by Parliament and the cool riff for "Standing on the verge" by Funkadelic.

[@Akashsama]

0:25 The rhythm guitar in Good Times is smooth as f*ck! Goes so well with the bass and all

[@cameronjustis3836]

as a primarily metal guitarist that wants to expand his musical ability, i think these funk riffs will be super fun

[@SubuNomo]

good playing, but how is uptown funk and get lucky under "classic funk"?

[@temuulenaltangerel5773]

because the guitarist, niel rodgers, is a funk MASTER and rhcp theyre a mix of funk punk and of course rock and roll

[@bensblues]

If Nile Rodgers plays a piece then it is immediately funk

[@SubuNomo]

EXACTLY!!!

[@jidder57]

am shocked not to see Kiss by Prince. It is a classic

[@gtavraw8611]

I could not agree more

[@markprater1]

I was wondering why no Prince. 'Sexy Dancer', 'Kiss'...

[@charlieisamonster]

A very underrated funk guitarist indeed.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I never thought that I'd see Can't Stop on here, but the Chilis are still kinda Funk Rock (And plus John Frusciante is that badass guitarist)

[@Dave-yq9fh]

How many Nile Rodgers riffs do you want on this list? There are already at least two, and Uptown Funk is a nod to Rodgers from Ronson.

[@Komican]

0:35 I can literally hear someone saying :thanks for pimp my ride

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

the funk is strong with this one....

[@Karlgolden]

Funking it up!

[@garretttanner7436]

Great list, missing the best funk riff of them all though. Funkadelic - Hit It and Quit It!

[@Karlgolden]

haha yeah man

[@AstralElephantFuzz]

Karl Golden Something to think about for part 2, eh?

[@stephensmith799]

Nice touch 👍

[@caesar690]

It makes me ecstatic that cosmic girl was on the list. Jamiroquai is my favorite band and i love some acid jazz and funk.

Good shout! Will add it to my list. Trying to get more organised so can upload more for you guys while ideas flowing so please feel free to suggest more video ideas you want to see :-)

[@0bamabenladen911]

How do you get your tone? what plug ins do you use?

[@eliangebacadon6514]

Do you have old unused guitars?

[@moistnugget1178]

do a video on what guitars you have

[@Karlgolden]

I will in the future once I have all my gear in one place :-)

[@virgiblue4194]

Sounds awesome \m/

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

One good tip in playing great funk...is to play in a tight rhythm. Somehow all the songs just sounded off time. Maybe use headphones to eliminate the lag in rhythm. Other than that , good playing.

[@trevormichaelmcgowan]

Bro you keep rushing on all of these, STAY ON TIME

[@Karlgolden]

Yes boss 👍

[@gaelledevendec4475]

amazing 😊

[@WildKotaro12]

Awh yeah,Cosmic Girl

[@samuel19991]

where's Le Freak by CHIC??

[@bololo2000]

what guitar effects do you use?

[@saadsrequiemforsasuke7041]

Very groovy and funky guitar riffs!! Nicely played! I was hoping to find one, more similar to Seishun Kyousoukyoku by Sambomaster and the one at 0:24 reminded me of the Say So song's guitar as well as beloved Thank You!! by Home Made Kazoku! 1:06 reminded me of the title Death Note theme I suppose this would be rock funk!

[@ethancoster1324]

[@ABHISHEKSHARMA1993]

How to get that fluid motion of strumming hand? My strumming hand is either too stiff or my pick falls off. Any suggestions?

[@samarchism_]

Extreme - Get the funk out

[@basedalex]

Dude i always wanted to ask. How much time do you spend on your hair?

[@Karlgolden]

If I just have an afo simply have a shower leave it to dry and done! haha If slicked back only a few mins of shoving sh@t loads of gel in it! haha Win win all round!

[@lesliepamela2176]

[@davidfitcher2953]

I fuckin love funk riffs can you tell me what is the first style of riff called?

[@connorkelly8329]

Funk #49??

[@SUP3RKAPON]

Daft Punk - give life back to music Daft Punk - Lose yourself to dance

[@Azevedotk]

Would be more fair something by funkadelic instead uptown funk but nice video anyway
