Funk Comping Patterns in E (#5)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
Whenever I play funk, I always try to think percussive, like you're an integrated sound of the drummer's kit. This usually means lot of muted notes, and letting it out when there's space in the music. In this example, I jus...(more)

Funk Comping Patterns in E (#5)

You can get a little involved by playing more of the chords using three or four note voicings, but still using the same kind of percussive effect. When we play the low C# on the 4th string in measure 3-4, we really start to ...(more)

Funk Comping Patterns in E (#5)

Here's a classic bluesy run that works well over this groove. It emphasizes the bend from the fourth (A) to the fifth (B) and the b7 (D) to the tonic (E). In each of the cases, you bend with your third finger up to frets to...(more)

In this example, we bend the A up to the B and really milk it untill we descend. The first time we partially descend at the start of measure 3, I throw in a C# instead of a D (fret 14 on the 2nd string instead of 15) for a l...(more)

Here's another classic bend that accentuates the C#. We bend the B at fret 7 up to the C# at fret 9, which is the 6th of the scale and in this case, this implies A major. Often when bending and holding a note, it's nice to ...(more)

Earlier this evening I was playing around with some simple funk riffs and realized that I was inserting little fills here and there to embellish my rhythm playing. I also realized that I usually used the same kind of melodic...(more)

In this example, we use double stops as part of our main rhythm part. When we end measure 3, we use a bend up to the high D to launch a small bluesy fill. We return to our rhythm, and then use the same initial motif from ou...(more)
