Amazing stuff Rob!!! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see how you process the sound in the DAW and or what hardware/plugins you use to get the tone you're after.
@@RobHarrisGuitar have been a fan of yours for many years, quite thankful and appreciative that your taking the time to do these videos (and putting out more music other then just jamiroquai ). the guitar world needs more rob
Thanks for all of your lessons and insights Rob! I recently discovered your channel and found it very inspiring for me. Any chance you can share where I can find this full track? I And also any similar music suggestions for me to delve into learning more. Thank you!
Hi Rob, Gerry from Mad Angle Radio and New Audio Monkees. Great insight and explanation of your technique, thanks ever so much for sharing your knowledge and putting it across in such an easy manner for all to understand. ❤️👌
I was going to ask this same question. From Rob’s reply, I just found this, which you may find informative: ruclips.net/video/Z3fStcglxoQ/видео.html Then there’s Rob’s own DI video: ruclips.net/video/CIHWiUsD47k/видео.html
In my honest opinion Sir, a very important part of this kind of style and work is choosing right your pick, in terms of sound but also in terms of stability on your right hand fingers. Am I right Rob? I'd like an opinion from you, if I may ask. Thanks, you're the best for this stuff 🤟🏻
How hard should i hit the strings? I feel like to get the right tone and be tight i need to hit pretty hard on my guitars! And you look to be doing that as well
@@RobHarrisGuitar if you want to check one of Paul Jackson Jr. finest work from the late 80s here is the link ruclips.net/video/JnD2qgD7Q0g/видео.html it’s one the most famous Mexican pop-jazz-funk singer.
I'm mildly surprised that you used a standard guitar amp (combo) for this guitar style. Fenders are clean sounding of course, but many funk players (e.g. Nile Rodgers), I believe, go for a DI sound (no amp). I just wondered what your thoughts are about that? (I'm a valve amp guy...)
Hey Lee. I use both DI and amps. Just a choice at the time. Sometimes i use both at the same time. I hear Nile did that too. I did hear that he also once recorded with amps set up on different levels of a staircase. Probably just a myth . Hope you're well.
@@RobHarrisGuitar Rob, I'm fine thanks. I hope you are too. I bought myself a DI box last week (a Behringer Ultra DI400P, which, thanks to new technology, is superb sounding, not like the older generation Behringer products, which were generally cheap and cheerful). I initially tried using it on my electro-acoustic guitar but, with my Yamaha CPX900's top-quality preamp (with extensive active EQ and multi sensors) I could hear no benefit whatsoever; it already sounds good! Then I tried it with my valve-driven Vox ToneLab ST (which has very good cabinet emulations) and I was pleasantly surprised at how it added a desirable spank! Not hyped highs like my Active Lead, just that something extra. I'm a bit of a purist and as such I usually go for minimal signal path, so the idea of adding something in the signal chain is something I always think twice about. Also, the ToneLab ST generates a Line level output, so I usually plug it into a Line level input; and the thought of plugging it into a DI box, then into a mic channel seemed counter intuitive, but the results prove beneficial: there's a little more spank, which I attribute to an improved dynamic range, plus a bit more clean sparkle, which is good for funk/pop styles.
One 20 minute video from Rob has taught me more than 10 years of attempting funk playing! Thank you, Rob, you're a legend and a master of your trade!
Thanks for watching
What the fuck have you been doing for 10 years
I love hearing the thought process behind the music!
Truly a masterclass on how to play and record funk guitar, thanks for sharing that, Rob, it's gold.
Thank you Rob, very useful
You made my week!!! Thanks Rob!!!!

Amazing stuff Rob!!! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see how you process the sound in the DAW and or what hardware/plugins you use to get the tone you're after.

Wow, thanks!. Glad you're enjoying the videos

Thanks. Glad you're enjoying the videos
Another awesome video performance.
Thanks Marcus. Hope you’re safe and well over there.
Great stuff! Thank you! It sounds like when you counted off the first chord you came in on 2 so the slide chord would be the And (+) of 2.
easily one of the best in the business, very glad you've got a channel
Welcome aboard!

Thanks Gerry. You are most welcome
...and the chords always land on the upbeat, always ahead of the beat 👍🏻
This could quite easily be a jamiroquai track. Very cool and superb video. Great playing.
Thanks for listening
Hi, great playing. would love to book you for online session work
Very good video. Interested to know if you double or fake double the rhythm part?
Its just a single part
Sounds great! Can you tell us how to achieve this guitar sound? No amp, direct in the console, compressor, etc.? Thanks Andy
Hi Andreas. The guitar was DI'd and i used the Archetype Cory Wong Plug in. Touch of compression was used after recording.
I was going to ask this same question. From Rob’s reply, I just found this, which you may find informative:

Then there’s Rob’s own DI video:

Salut Rob. Où peut on se procurer le backing track ? Merci pour tes vidéos très instructives. Je suis fan.

if you check his last video of Q&A he goes through the pick he's using and his picking technique 👍
C6 structure please
How hard should i hit the strings? I feel like to get the right tone and be tight i need to hit pretty hard on my guitars! And you look to be doing that as well
I'm a fairly heavy hitter and i use a heavy pick
@@RobHarrisGuitar nice! What's your pick of choice for funk?
Are you using the Kemper for this?
I actually used my amp into the OX Box on this Video.
The second part of the verse at 12:03 I thought Paul Jackson Jr. was playing the guitar ..
I love Paul Jackson Jr. Amazing player.
