Guitar Tone Tuesday: Ep:23 - Digging Into New Orleans Funk! (Leo Nocentelli Style)

Guitar Tone Tuesday: Ep: 23 - Digging into New Orleans funk (the style of Leo Nocentelli)
Lucas Haneman of the LH Express gives you experienced tips and tricks, as well as showcasing lesser known gear in this series.

On this week's episode Lucas shows you how to play a New Orleans 2nd Line rhythm on your guitar, and pays respect to the wonderful Leo Nocentelli (one of the founding members of "The Meters"). Lucas has been inspired lately by the Meters 1974 “Rejuvenation” album, and this short rhythmic exercise is taken from the song "Hey Pocky A-Way".
Leo Nocentelli was born on June 15, 1946, and in Lucas's opinion to this day is one of the most important players when it comes to solid and consistent funk guitar with strong right/left hand coordination.
Here's a link to ""Hey Pocky A-Way":

There's no band like The Meters."I Just Kissed My Baby" is one of my favorites."Pocky Way" is another.

[@LucasHaneman]

I agree! That entire “rejuvenation “album is one of my top 10, honestly probably top five favourite albums of all time! Thanks so much for watching the video and glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent lesson. Great rhythm!

[@LucasHaneman]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind comment

Thanks for the video, very nice lesson and a little bit of history added was a plus. Semper Fi, USMC.

Thank you so much hammerhead! I’m glad you enjoyed the technique/history on Leo. He is a heck of a great musician! if you are so inclined, please do stick around and check out more of what the channel has to offer. I upload a new video every week about a guitar, amplifier, pedal combination, or technique as well as live performances, music videos and more.

Nice lesson, are you a relative of Stobe the Hobo? You straight up sound and look like him.

[@LucasHaneman]

L O L I don’t think so, but who knows. Thanks so much for your kind words on the lesson though and appreciate you checking it out.

Thanks for the lesson! I've been playing a long with this but couldn't quite get that groove because of all the other instruments blending so tightly with the guitar. If I'm not mistaken you can also call it a 3-2 bossa nova clave (with a 2-feel).

[@LucasHaneman]

That would be absolutely correct! Glad you’ve been having fun playing around with this.

[@krazedkanuckracing]

Haven't encountered him ... yet. Checking out The Meters on Spotify now... driving my cube neighbour nuts tapping on my desk...

[@LucasHaneman]

Arthur, thank you so much for your comment. Yeah it’s the kind of music that gets into your bones! I know I can’t stop drumming on any and everything around me when I am listening to it. Enjoy the exercise and enjoy listening to the band!
