    Outstanding grove grabbing class. I’ve partied to this music for years and it still holds up. It’s one of first hard core groves I learned on guitar. It is relentless. Thanks putting this groove in your class.

    Josh isn't just a fantastic musician but has a really relaxing way of putting his passion across; as if you're the only one he's talking to. I could watch and listen to this guy for days. Just so good and really humble.

      Don't know about you but what I finding is there are so many pro musicians that are just awesome cats, super humble and easy going, I want hang out with them, I always used to see the over confident ones years ago but now its the other way, thanks Josh for being real......

    Perfect for where I’m at! I’m doing some of this already and there’s some good stuff to mine in there.
    When I finally learned a little bit of drums, my guitar playing came alive. The recent band I was in (I moved) I was the rhythm player. Someone happened to video a piece. I was also the sound guy and I could see me watching the board and the vocalists and not focused on my playing My right arm was a machine cranking out the pocket, and that’s when I finally saw myself as a solid rhythm player. Those hours paid off...

    Ok I broke my head over this one for way to long. And then he says "Mann this is soo easy" :( !!
    If you're a regular mortal like me and don't know what is going on, here is how I understand it: It's a shuffle rhythm counted 1 N tri-puh-let tri-puh-let 4. This is why you'll see him hit those downstrokes after downstrokes. It's because down up down triplets sound stronger. It took too long for me to stop thinking 'one e and uh' on this cause I am a tad dull and funk hurr durr -_-"...

    And it's really crazy for me to be correcting a guy who's light years beyond any level I'll reach but, at least in this version of Doing it to Death there's a "B" part of the figure that's not the 1/2step chord rise: ruclips.net/video/HIakXEm4wPE/видео.html

    ‘PFunk’ wouldn’t say that. Bootsy would say that. Boogie (RIP) is the original bassist for PFunk. Bootsy, the bass player for the JBs, came into the PFunk pantheon later. Funk guitar doesn’t end with Catfish and James Brown. That’s just where it starts.
