I am a late in life guitar player who grew up on and loves funk guitar. I take lessons from a local teacher and can play half a dozen songs all the way through. I gave up on learning how to play funk and this lesson opened the entire concept for me of what I was doing wrong. Thank you so much. I am a fan for life...!

@@jcmdestinationaustralianzj2821 I really struggled with the strumming so I started using a light pick. It doesn’t sound as good but It made a tremendous difference in getting the technique right. Also, make sure you’re strumming to a metronome or drum track. Start slowwwwww and work your way up. I spent perhaps 2 hours a day for 2 days getting the strumming patterns into muscle memory using the light pick. Eventually, I’d say after a two day break, I got back to it and was able to use a medium pick (I don’t use heavy picks). The fretting is not as hard as the strumming. Get comfortable with bar chords, if you already aren’t. Most funk songs use them. A good song to get familiar with the ghost notes is “get lucky” by daft punk. You can simplify it and still get it to sound fairly close to the original. I practiced that for 2-3 hours. Both your hands will be tense at first, but eventually you just start feeling it and things get more natural and relaxed. So to answer your question, as a beginner it took me about a week to be able to play something that would sound halfway decent to an untrained ear.

@@nemesis6014 Thks for your feedback. Really appreciate. Yes I have started slow but my sessions are much shorter than yours. Hours is the key and regularity I guess.

@@jcmdestinationaustralianzj2821 To make your learning a little more effective, try these tips: 1. Get some practice just before bed (a very short session is fine), and if possible, just after you wake up. Practicing those two times will point out to your mind that what you are learning is important, and your unconscious mind will be dedicating more time to the learning, making you better as you sleep, and keeping it bubbling below the surface during the day. 2. Take micro breaks during your practice session. During a micro break, breathe deeply and consciously relax your whole body. Pay special attention to your arms, hands, shoulders and jaw. This helps you stay more consciously relaxed over time, and according to Tal Wilkenfeld, there are neuroscience studies showing it helps your mind organize better what you are learning. 3. If you aim to play live, practice standing up. What you learn sitting down can not always be easily transferred to a standing position. 4. Practice some of the time with your eyes closed. This frees you from constantly looking at your instrument, strengthens the connection from mind directly to muscle memory without visual aid.

안녕하세요! 일레기타를 레슨받고 있지만 혼자서 funk 연습하기가 어려웠었는데 이 강의를 듣고 정말 명쾌하게 이해가 되었습니다. 한국인이지만 따로 번역없이 들어도 이해가 될만큼 쉽고 천천히 알려주셔서 덕분에 재밌게 연습할 수 있을 것 같습니니다. 좋은 영상 감사합니다!! Hello! I'm taking an electric guitar lesson, but it was hard to practice funk by myself, but after listening to this lecture, I understood it very clearly. I'm Korean, but I think I'll be able to practice it fun because you teach me so easily and slowly that I can understand even if I listen to it without translation. Thank you for the good video!!
