Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
I've had a number of requests for more funk-based music and to feature some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers - so here we go! The Chili Peppers are a very popular/influential band that formed in LA in 1983, and as their rotating series of guitarists over the years has changed and altered their sound in various ways, at the heart of their music lies a steady groove of funk and classic rock-based ideas, and that's what this lesson focuses on.
The examples pinpointed in this lesson include an assortment of classic RHCP music and for this episode, we're hitting the old-school gritty funk-rock sound from their early albums, with song examples from classics such as Freaky Styley, Mother's Milk, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and more.
There's a lot you can learn from studying funk-based music, and while I'm a huge fan of funk artists such as James Brown, Funkadelic, The Meters, Sly and the Family Stone, and more - I'm also a fan of what followed 1970s funk with the second and third waves that appeared in the 1980s and 1990s. This includes these guys and the signature sound that the RHCP tapped into and discovered early in their career.
Some interesting ideas are shared here and I made sure to avoid the "standard" RHCP songs in this lesson, so be sure to check out some of this music if you're not familiar with the earlier output of this classic and popular group, as I really dig their early albums with the raw funk-rock sound mixed with a bit of a punk edge.
