Thanks so much man !

Dear Mr Harris, your way of teaching coupled with your extensive experience is the most invaluable masterclass I have found online. Your 'Rob Harris Masterclass - The Secrets of Jamiroquai' video, shot in Spain and posted on the 'Fanatic Guitars' channel has freed me from the constrains of western structured music and allowed me to progress leaps and bounds in just a few weeks into the world of funk guitarring and songwriting. I cannot thank you enough, for your life journey and musical wizdom has enriched mine immensely, and I will forever credit you as the musician that has had a profound influence in my guitar playing skills... as well as Prince.

[@garybeck6361]

Great lesson 👍, really helpful, Rob, could you show (maybe you already have), how you keep the right hand strumming but are only picking out notes, thanks 👍

[@nabsdmusik]

Thanks Rob, your guitar licks are so funky and groovy, simple but catchy works so perfectly with Jamiroqaui.

You're an uncredibly inspirational player and a great teacher, Rob, I love it.

[@denmut]

Hi Rob. I normally tend to play rock and metal but you inspire me to learn funk rhythm. Cheers.

[@kewlfonz]

Nice concise, syncopated funk licks. Good call & response phrasing too...

[@kmatallah]

This is a golden lesson Rob. Thank you so much. Karim

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

I'm really those licks man! What model Strat is that? An American Strat?

[@Ronno4691]

Mr Harris, I've been using 16th note R/H strumming patterns 1e+a 2e+a 3e+a and so on. Is there anything beyond this for Funk guitarists? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Your Making Chords Smaller video was superb 👍

[@richardroskell3452]

Great practical tutorial Rob. I'd love to get those backing tracks you offered. Thanks!

[@AnthonyGaff]

For sure would love the backing tracks or drum beats to practice these. Man, they are funk-Y

[@louiserichard1729]

Great teacher and great player

[@Chimp_No_1]

Fantastic lesson ! Thank you for sharing !

[@Nylonresonance]

Incredible channel, a wealth of knowledge

[@RobHarrisGuitar]

Thank you for tuning in.

[@Nylonresonance]

@@RobHarrisGuitar I remember watching the Jamiroquai bad girls live video when I was 16 and thinking you were the absolute man, incredible solo and rhythm playing. You inspired me quite a bit.

[@petetaylor2034]

Love jamiroquai. Must admit though, when I saw the thumbnail I though pep guardiola was about to teach me some chords

[@gregglashauser4125]

Good lesson clearly explained, a lot work to make it sound good thanks

[@axelkelsen6569]

I really like this kind of contents!!! So inspiring!!! Thanks a lot!

[@RobHarrisGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottandresen661]

Good and informative. Getting proper funk technique down is hard at first. Your lessons explain them well. Thanks.

[@SandersStuff4u]

What a treat! Both from Rob and Matt funky lessons on the same day!

[@jonshaw9472]

Top job...., the first riff reminds me of Powerstation 'some like it hot' but no surprise really as this is a funk guitar video and Andy Taylor was a master at the funk/ rock guitar crossover.

[@iansullivan8609]

Great stuff Rob, thanks for your great explanations! I still remember your master class in Justin’s workshop a few years ago which lit up a few lightbulbs for me! 👍

[@HeppuLeppa]

Just bought telecaster and this video is a true gift! Great play and teaching mate!!

[@owncompany8934]

It’s great that you don’t try to bamboozle us with music theory, just telling it as it is 👍🏻

[@RobHarrisGuitar]

Thanks for your message, i don't tend to think in terms of theory to be honest. I tend to concentrate on the feel of things.

[@owncompany8934]

@@RobHarrisGuitar You always have great tone that adds to the funkiness 👍🏻

[@owncompany8934]

What’s the chance that you could do a ‘Soup for One’ Chic, ‘Lady’ Modjo Tutorial 🤞🏻

[@ariecht1807]

hi Rob, thank you for the great lessons. if you're still offering, i'd greatly appreciate the backing track.

[@lllazarrr]

Thank you for taking the time to do the lesson for us! It is really amazing we get to have the lessons from the pro :) I would really like to see your approach to ear training and your music theory 101 in some of your next lessons.

Man these were really fun to play & easy to digest in small sections. Thanks so much!

[@RobHarrisGuitar]

You are most welcome.

[@ianshorthose5041]

Great licks Rob - really enjoyed jamming along to them. Annoyingly no matter what I do, my thumb (👍) just will not wrap around to mute the bass strings, so I have to relay on finger tips and to be "accurate" with my right hand.

[@Opeez78]

Yes! Many thanks for this great lesson. Great licks, great teaching!

Thanks Arnaud. You’re welcome

[@hamzabencherif5278]

thanks Rob I remember you in Paris on stage (rock dust like star tour) with your classy leather jacket and that awesome thinline Tele .... soon after this, I bought a leather jacket and a 73 natural tele :D thanks for the inspiration . all the best

Very nice. Remember me Ross Bolton's teaching dvd. Thanks a lot.

Hey Jog. I had a Ross Bolton lesson on cassette (yeah, i'm that old) that my guitar teacher gave me. I must have worn that thing out. He had some gems on there.
