Really interesting. Most people just assume Clean funk guitar = compressor. I’ve never really used compressors either for this style. Glad I’m not alone!
Rob, I have a question and I would love your advice: I'm a long-time funk player, and I play in the exact style as you. Although, I'm a Tele player, I'm on the market for a Strat. I'm a working class bartender. I don't have deep pockets, and I don't play out. If you were me, in 2024, would you recommend I buy a Strat or a PRS?
It seems that your fingers are a compressor. A lovely touch will do so much. I learned on classical guitar so had 'feel' drummed home from a very young age. I like the comparison as it does show the benefits of touch
I'd be interested to see one of your preset constructs in the Quad Cortex at some point - pretty sure I heard you mention you use the QC in this video...?

That’s a great explanation! I think exactly the same way you do
Thanks Ella. I’m glad you understood my ramblings. Hope you’re good. :)
Avoiding compression unless you are very clear about the reason for adding it, is a very good general rule.
Avoiding compression unless you are Cory Wong!
I'm a bass player and I'm not crazy about compressors either.

Thanks for answering my question Rob
Echo the pedalboard guitar/tone comments above Rob! Btw, looking forward to seeing you guys play the Jam House tonight!!
Thanks for coming along.
I really like your clear explanation!
Can you show us more about your pedal board or guitar tone?
Thanks! Will do!
Interesting! Thank you sir! Best, Daniel 🤙🏼
My pleasure!
Ok grazie
Love the sound
Apart from compression, all day long i could listen to your warm grooves, could you maybe do a sample library and offer it for sale, or so
Aahhh. Thank you.

I’ll do a little video on this shortly.
Never heard of him.
What type of pick do you use?
I think Rob uses a Dunlop Jazz III pick
@@alexousky best Pick ever for eletric😎.
As mentioned by Alex , I’ve been using Dunlop Jazz III picks for about 30 years now.
@@RobHarrisGuitar Thank you so much 👍
Think it's me asking most of the time.... sorry 🙂
