That was so greasy I almost slipped on the kitchen floor. Beautiful. Love your playing and teaching vibe.

[@TheRiotguitar]

haha thank you

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

I’m very interested in how you are holding your pick - can you show a close-up please in a future video? Thanks 🙏

[@michaelogden5093]

Wish I had my old platform shoes. With these cords and those shoes, I'd be funk-tactic.

[@jojacool]

Cool !! More Funk Shane ! ( The Louisiana.. Nawlins kinda Funk :-) )

[@mannyeagleson5622]

thnx shane

[@babagadoush1]

Yes! This shall be my homework for the week

[@VonBluesman]

Hey Shane, are you teaching at the Musicians Institute ? You are a gifted player and teacher, talented, patient, rhythmic, and that funk runs all through your veins. 👍✌

[@TheRiotguitar]

no i haven't taught in many years. Except for now! thanks for the comments

[@SC515]

Really enjoying your KZbin playing educational videos and the stories. Funky Funk.

[@Hetti-g2c]

WOW funk to the nth degree! I can’t wait to play with an attitude and will. That Neville groove is sweet. I’m realizing more how to experiment with rhythm inspired by your guitar channel lessons. Thanks Shane. That’s a cool long sleeve shirt you’re wearing too BTW.🤗

[@davidodonnellguitar]

So funky!! Great videos you put out Shane. I have that New Orleans Funk Guitar book, bought it in 2013. Great book. I’ll look out for the course

[@rajeshgumber363]

Great FUN(K) chord! Thankyou. One of my favourite Funk chords is the James Brown chord like C9 with a 5th on top and sliding back and forth from the 6th and flat 7.

[@TheRiotguitar]

oh yeah that's a good one

[@ruinunes8294]

Shane, been following you since I spot you at Live From Daryl's House. Love your playing, really tasteful, great tone, clean chops. To top it all, really top notch tuition and inspriring as a person, down to earth, humble and genuine. Keep on, Thanks. Cheers from Portugal.

[@mbever1]

That's a lot of cool stuff from one chord!

[@edkutschke814]

Thanks Shane, just enough to work on without being overwhelmed. Love the funk!

[@TheRiotguitar]

[@jimc6687]

Love it when Shane brings on some fun funk!! Perks me right up along with my guitar playing!! Jim C.

[@TheRiotguitar]

[@davidsummerville351]

I've always found groove playing to be quite addictive.

[@TheRiotguitar]

it is

[@alstiver]

Fantastic lesson! Thank you for posting it

[@brianwood7237]

All Killer NO Filler Thanks SHANE!

[@tubytele]

Couldn't agree more Shane!

[@andrehendricks8044]

I’m hooked

[@exxekhan]

Oh man this is great! After binge-watching 5-6 videos in a row, I had to like and subscribe! Good stuff!

[@bobmccune]

Looking forward to the rhythm course! You're one of the best rhythm players out there.

[@TheRiotguitar]

thank you

[@lancemorgan644]

Can’t get enough. Thanks for the tips.

[@Nozmo_King_NJ]

Good stuff, Shane, thanks! These "small doses' are perfect for me. New ways to make the chank sound delicious!

[@jojacool]

In one of your vids you're playing a 7#9 chord..... C#7#9 .That's sounds double funky because of the 2 E's on top . I like that.

[@TheRiotguitar]

yeah that's a good one

[@Sonar37]

Great Guitar Playing, Great Lesson!

[@thomasreilly-Guitar]

Excellent playing and tips Shane. You have funk in your bones. Thanks

[@TheRiotguitar]

thx!

[@tommc49]

That Peavey amp makes me smile every time I see it. Do you every take it on the road?

[@TheRiotguitar]

no I don't have a road case for the head. I tried once but it wouldn't fit in my amp cases. Plus it's not exactly built to take a beating like a Soldano or old Fender is.....

[@tomcarl8021]

I might be wrong, but listening to this, I thought of 'Brick House' by the Commodores. I think the guitarist was playing a min6 vamp.

[@TheRiotguitar]

you got it yeah that Min6th is in the song for sure

[@mraggrovator]

Great lesson super funky

[@arpeggio62]

Friggin cool as hell ! Always a useful Learning Experience . Thanks as always !

[@richeeromeo]

Another great lesson! Much appreciate Shane!

[@nelsonkerr1119]

Very cool...thanks Shane 😎

[@jeremyversusjazz]

Funky as a junkie bro! Awesome

[@TheRiotguitar]

Haha thank you!

[@mariacruikshank5150]

Wonderful! Thank you, Shane! 💙

[@basoud9096]

Tastyyyyyyyy as ever! Great playing and demo. Thanks!!

[@TheRiotguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hubertsumlin9697]

I'm a bass player but i still like to learn what's happening with chord voicings. This is an excellent video, thanks! Edit: at one point you mentioned you still had a flat 7 down in the lower end. Would that make a min13? Does that exist?

[@TheRiotguitar]

min 13 is actually what that voicing I'm playing at the beginning is. It's kinda the same thing but technically any extension above the octave is a 9-13.....so min 6 is the same as min13 but the 6 would be up an octave. in the video I put the 6th in the bass on the 4th string .

[@hubertsumlin9697]

​@@TheRiotguitarThanks for explaining! Great channel

[@fredr2694]

just amazing, thanks Shane.

[@TanyaNeedham-z1e]

You're just so cool Shizane! Always makes my day better to watch you play!❤

[@TheRiotguitar]

aw thanks

[@TanyaNeedham-z1e]

@TheRiotguitar are you still playing with le combo? I really dig what I've seen and heard. Yall should do a Lil tour around my area because I'm selfish lmfao Tori Amos lives here, it's a music hot spot. Might not pay the big bucks but you'd be surrounded by music lovers in tropical paradise!

[@Hetti-g2c]

@@TanyaNeedham-z1e Wish he’d bring LeCombo back to us here in the East Coast. The group is so awesome! There are a few venues here too.LeCombo is really good. Shanes voice is raw and powerful! Think we’re both selfish for an amazing musician.

[@TanyaNeedham-z1e]

@Hetti-g2c he's unique and I love it!

[@stevepierce7024]

You may have mentioned it before, but for those interested in your Rythym master class, is there a signup for it? These are incredible lessons btw.

[@TheRiotguitar]

thanks- yes if you go to my website there is a Signup button in the top right of any page or a signup form on the main page. That will automatically add you to the email list. I won't send out a bunch of spam but will keep you informed when the course launches.

[@nelsonw2096]

I love that chord. Question: It looks like you are playing the flat 7 on the D string, so wouldn’t that make this a 13th since it’s now a dominant chord?

[@TheRiotguitar]

it's not dominant unless it has a major 3rd with the b7....but technically it is a min 13th....or 6th....13th if it's above the octave

[@qjarman7753]

How good is this guy??

[@andrehendricks8044]

Pretty good

[@basoud9096]

I was just listening to RHCP the song Apache Rose Peacock before this video. What's your take on the funk playing of John F. in that song?

[@TheRiotguitar]

i've never heard it i'll have to check it out
