Thanks, Alec. You're the man. Keep showing us.

[@YossieT]

Great lesson! I like the power of breaking the lesson into three interlocking steps. It's the hot new thing.

[@JW-cc8rn]

Nice to see your videos getting more engagement. Your consistency is paying off. Looking forward to bigger and better from you on this platform

[@Upytech]

Thanks! So useful and honest lesson!

[@prettylady8133]

Great Lesson. Thank-you!!

[@PrinceofPain-wv1lo]

Thank you..Sly & the family stone

[@johnhendricks8140]

Love it sounds great

[@smoothwadee23]

So good man, appreciate what you do.

[@tochaguitar]

Good job man. You know how to teach.

[@dgmg1578]

It's always the pocket groove that gets hand clappiing foot response!

[@YossieT]

I do something similar playing James Brown's Cold Sweat, interlocking parts originally played by guitar, horns (6th and 9th chords) and bass walk up. It's a solid groove, especially the chorus.

[@ErrickV73]

I need sometime to work a little more.

[@chrisblaylock1624]

More Gospel move and groove

[@isaacappiah-korang8033]

Thanks Boss, please how can you apply this in a different key say C Major or F Major .thanks

[@jeffhughes1039]

That groove moves me. Thank you for that

[@Шизлманизл]

Hey! I have trouble understansing what shapes is he holding. Can someone tell me what is he holding?

[@Ben-Ken]

I had to rewind a dozen times. What are the notes being played? What chords are they hinting at? I know the first part is 3 bottom strings on second fret for E. The second sounds like strings 3 and 4 on the second fret and string 2 on the 4th fret for an A triad inversion. The third sounds like the root and 3rd of D. Great lesson idea. You can play a million chords and notes but it's not music without rhythm and groove.

[@SoulfulGuitarLessons]

You’re exactly right on the notes and chords 👍

I'm having fun with this. For me, I really enjoy learning new things but I mostly enjoy understanding what I'm playing. I had to figure it out. If you were playing full chords you would be playing the 1, 6, b7, correct? Because the first shape is just the E power chord (1,5,1) as notes, which is the 1 chord. Second shape you are playing the (6,1) as notes, which is the 6 chord. Third shape you are playing the (b7,2) as notes, which is the b7 chord. Did I figure this out correctly?

[@SoulfulGuitarLessons]

Yep, how you described it is exactly correct

[@millardjohnson657]

Good stuff man.😮😂

[@spookybjh]

Hi Alec, seems the download to the rhythm track does not work,is there a chance to get it somehow? Thanx Bernd

[@SoulfulGuitarLessons]

Hey, try these troubleshooting ideas - Try a different browser. For instance, of you using Google Chrome, try instead Safari. - Make sure your web browsers are up-to-date This should solve the problem

[@lawrencegeorgemusic789]

Tab or naming the fret positions would really help.

[@ronaldweasley5346]

Use your eyes and ears

[@pastormike396]

Alec, it's money in that pocket doc! 😮

[@starflek]

Good groove, good feel. What is clearly missing in this lesson is indication about timing for the fills. For example, for the fill 1, you must play a ghost note on the up beat before the F# otherwise you will be out of timing. For the fill 2, you have to start it on the down beat ... Things like that

[@jasonkennedy2348]

They should throw away that big eight note dotted delay inversion style for worship. Somewhat kidding…but more of THIS in worship please! More of this and twang.

[@einsley1]

Be nice to know tab or what u r playing

[@gregglashauser4125]

Ur right very few lessons on the pocket, video could have more content, such as stating strings and frets played or simply the notes layes - thanks for the lesson and backing track

[@Quietlylivinglife]

I wish I had guitar swagger 😂.

[@austinhall2362]

Chunky like bucket or Chillins

[@abrigospardos]

Lookin' at the devil, grinnin' at his gun...

[@jotheorange]

I wish you would stop saying “hump” 😂

[@Wordsareprayers]

Hump?🤓

[@Lomoholga2]

Don’t groove *too* much. God doesn’t want you guys having excessive fun

[@adamingram2813]

The Gospel is not slow and funky. This has nothing to do with praising the God of heaven

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

The Gospel is all things to all people. It isn't confined to any one particular style of music or way of playing instruments.

[@TheSpaceInvaderer]

​@@jamesrodriquez2863 when people talk about "gospel music", they are referring to a specific genre of Christian music

[@PrinceofPain-wv1lo]

Funk is God..

[@Wordsareprayers]

Yeah, got me shaking my ass too. I feel so conflicted🤓

[@frederickhunter4649]

This is kind of boring 💤 no offense

[@Kipchoge475]

This is exciting, you are boring.

[@vixdy4641]

You have no feeling
