Dave, you do an incredible job on showing us to actually play these songs. The idea that you take so much time to do the instruction show that you really enjoy teaching. I wish other 'so called' instructors would do the same. Sometimes to me, they just want to show how well they can play a certain song. But that's because they don't really know how to instruct. GREAT WORK!!!
To each their own but some people, like me, prefer quick videos. This riff is one you just need someone to play once and you should be able to repeat it. I understand not everyones the same though
You made this lesson as helpful as humanly possible...played along to the record...slowed it down...broke it down...added embellishments. After two hours practice I can play along to the recording, which is a whole lot of funky fun. Thanks brother.
Dave you are no longer with us. Makes me really sad 😢 Thank you for all the great lessons. One day we will jam together on the other side. See you there.
I leaned this from you ages ago before the world went crazy - really great lesson. Thank you, Dave. Have just come back to it after putting together a dance compilation that I'm still attempting to get my missus to shake her booty too. Not successful yet...but I'll try and woo her by playing this iconic funk riff. Cheers, Dave, and thanks.
I just watched eight RUclips clowns trying to "teach" this riff, and none had it right. Congrats on being the only one to do it properly. Just as a friendly suggestion, try adding the "E" at your 7th fret, 5th string, to your initial Am7, above a complete 6-string barre at the 5th fret. This is how Nile Rogers does it. Search "Chic Feat. Nile Rogers 'Le Freak' Live at Eden Sessions 2013" and check 0:26. Awesome job, sir.
Hi Dave, thanks for that. IMHO the best Le Freak-how to so far - although I still don't get the strummimg pattern quite right. It sometimes looks like continuesly 16th strumming up and down (when you play it slow) but when I play like that the rhythm somewhat doesn't sound right.
Thanks. This is what I am using: Fender Deluxe HSS Stratocaster - Neck Pickup and a Line 6 Pod HD400 with a Fender Deluxe amp setting. Effects compressor and reverb.
Hallo from Germany :)Thank you for al the nice descriptions.Can you learn us Hangin' incl. the solo from ChicTHX I wish all a happy new Year 2017!Peter
the A note on the seventh fret sounds very different on my guitar, i didnt mess up the tuning, dont know why that happens, almost sounds like a higher note rather than lower
If you have old strings the intonation can go out of tune as you go up the neck. Another possibility is it is fretting out on a higher fret. Hope that helps
Hey Dave,I just started like 3 months ago. This is one of my favourite guitar riffs ever, it looks quite doable. Do you think I should give it a shot? I don't want to get into something thats too difficult for me at the moment.
+chokicou Thanks. Maybe experiment with your amp settings. Try taking off some bass or mid if you want it to sound sharper. I find that usually does the trick.

Dave you are no longer with us. Makes me really sad 😢 Thank you for all the great lessons. One day we will jam together on the other side. See you there.
Yeah Dave it’s what I want to learn this rhythms and country styles like jambalaya I been trying taking Skype lessons
Great lesson, very detailed, that's the way to capture the full spirit of this tune.
Dave is really the funk master, another awesome lesson
This is the only guy that covers it right! Great!
Another great tutorial, thanks Dave. Long live good ol Niles.
This tone is bang on....well done !
Thanks Dave. Love nile rogers and learning his great riffs thanks to your great tutorials.
You got some nice bass in your video. 1:30 AM and I was thinking it was my neighbours, asking me to lover the volume, by bashing the wall.
Fantastic Dave. Your tutor ship lives on 👏🏿👏🏿
You have a big fan of Nile Rodgers here, and you are the reference for his songs' tutorials! Thanks a lot!
Keep coming back to this because Dave is so good - I still haven't quite mastered it , prob due to just sitting with my mouth open watching

Great lesson mate!
Jazzer Caster Cheers!
thanks, i'll be looking for your interpretation of al green's classic song, like other u tubers. keep it coming.
finaly mastered thanks ! GREAT TUTORIAL! :D
Hi Dave,
thanks for that. IMHO the best Le Freak-how to so far - although I still don't get the strummimg pattern quite right. It sometimes looks like continuesly 16th strumming up and down (when you play it slow) but when I play like that the rhythm somewhat doesn't sound right.
Ekkix Thanks. It’s a bit of an illusion. The strumming hand moves constantly but is not always connecting with the strings.
just perfect !
Hey dave, could you do chic cheer from Nile Rodgers too?
🤛 YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🎸
This riff is very easy...to play bad! At least, a perfect demonstration! THANKS!
dave think able love and happiness by al green in your future u tube lessons. this lesson is excellent. thanks.
Thanks Roy. I will check out the Al green song.
awesome !
exelente sonido... me ayudas a saber como haces ese sonido??
saludos y gracias

Hi Milan. Save this one for later on once you have more experience. It’s quite a tricky riff to get right.
@@DavePriceGuitarist Ok tnx I definetly will!!
how do you play the instrumental bit?
| Am7 | Am7 | D9 | D9 |
Dave Price thank you 😊
Is that a Fender delux? what pickups do you have in there ?
That's right. American Deluxe HSS. The pickups are the original ones that came with the guitar.
I have same one but mine has Fender N3`s I didnt know they did a humbucker version
Nice.
Thanks.
excellent! what are your pickups please??
Thanks. Neck pickup. These are the Fender noiseless fitted as standard to the deluxe range.
Wow. I got a US deluxe strato with N3 noiseless pickups but they aren't as sharp as yours
+chokicou Thanks. Maybe experiment with your amp settings. Try taking off some bass or mid if you want it to sound sharper. I find that usually does the trick.
If you want to know how to play Nile Rodgers accurately.
