Flavio SIlva trains BJJ, I am a fan now!

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Hahaha, thx man! BJJ has been part of my life for about 21 years...

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Fundament of Funk= 16th notes (included on "ghost" or "implicit" mode) + Heavy accent on the Pulse One (4 or 8 bar). Funk share the use of 16th notes with *their dad, Jazz* , also hillbilly country, afrocuban music and the Samba from Brazil. Blues is more based on 8th even 12th.

[@anandkamate2308]

Good lesson flavi, Do some more lessons

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Thank you so much!

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Thank you Anand! We will work on that!

EXCELLENT VIDEO

[@philipjohnson8939]

[@Sadowsky46]

What kind of plek do you use? Looks quite flexible

[@pookachu64]

I reckon around .7?

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Hey man! I am trying to remember, but I think I was using one of those Extra Heavy Fender like plectrums, if I am not mistaken they are around 1.2mm tick

[@HigherPlanes]

FLavio is a funky name.

[@bigkeezo]

Niiiice 🤘🏾

[@DojoOfCool]

I've seen you many times on the Smalllive stream never knew your name. Cool lesson.

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Toortog Pown thank you man, I appreciate it

[@andreagirolami6719]

Toortog Pown His name is Roberto Saviano

[@MAL1C10US1NT3NT]

With funk grooves, I always find myself having to use a much thinner pick with some bend to it rather than what I usually use, which is like a standard hard pick. Is this normal or am I doin something sketchy with my right hand,, maybe?

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Hey Greg! First, thank you for watching the video! I think there are different ways of doing that with different kinds of picks that will also give you a different result/sound. I would be glad to help you with those questions, in case you are interested, you can contact me here: www.lessonface.com/music-instructor/flavio-silva?ref=2f77ac34

[@thekingofelfland3294]

Same here. Impossible to use my hard picks

[@noodletribunal9793]

@@thekingofelfland3294 i use a 1.14 pick and i can do this stuff, although maybe it would sound better with a thinner one. i think you just gotta get used to it.

[@geraldbumblepop7582]

Yo i know I’m late to the party on this and you may have found a resolve but I’ve noticed when I play funk I only expose a small amount of the plectrum. A considerable amount less than when I play other styles. I only use small jazz picks as well, just to give you an idea of how little I use of the pick

[@thesoulshakers]

Nice guitar, what model Gibson ES is this? 330?

[@Brucelectricmoose]

What gauge plectrum is that?

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Hey man! I am trying to remember, but I think I was using one of those Extra Heavy Fender like plectrums, if I am not mistaken they are around 1.2mm tick

[@Brucelectricmoose]

Thanks. That is quite thick, I use an 88 mostly. Interesting how you apply it as it looks very relaxed almost holding back on the attack.

[@moshotoku]

Hello Do you have the backing track?

[@joaopetrucio3047]

Where you from?

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

Brazil, my friend!

[@chikobaya5031]

that 335 sounds so cool, is it the larry carlton model? what gauge do you use?

[@toffeebluenose7331]

I love the hollow body pure sound

[@pookachu64]

Semi hollow body - it’s a 335 not a 330.

[@pascalinerouleau889]

I'm in love!

[@juliendeculus11]

Damn how can I get that drum track

[@Flaviosilvamusic]

You can get the Drum Genius app.
