Great video Adrian, I've alway loved Nile Rodgers's style of playing. It's much more complicated than you think. He told a lovely story about making "Let's Dance" with David Bowie. Bowie came to him with the original idea of the song and he changed the arrangement so it came out much funkier. He was a bit worried that Bowie might think that it was too funky but Bowie's reply was "Can anything be too funky?"
Great story! No such thing as too funky...
@@acpg always love that STANK
Both cool people and I am glad Bowie said that ! That's a cool way to respond to a very funky Nile Roger's.
Thanks! Another cool one is I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross.
7:06 YES!! This is such a cool Niles riff! Thank you so much for showing us!
Totally Agree!
I dont think he says. What song is this?

Great tutorial - as always! Competent and to the point, yet so modest and respectful to the music and the artists you cover. And the sound is definitely spot on!
More Nile Rodgers stuff! Detailed whole songs tutorials, please!
Those songs are the reason I bought a guitar 😍
Sir, you are fantastic. Absolutely love this video, as I , like you admire Nile Rodger’s playing. So so helpful. Thank you, will keep me practising for hours.
Excellent lesson mate, Nile is one of my favourite guitarists
You always come up with really cool ideas for tutos!
Your lessons are awesome Adrian! Spot on and detailed!
Wicked Mate I've been waiting for exactly this lesson...Many thanks for sharing 👍
"Thinking of you" is my favourite riff as well! "lose yourself" is up there as well. Great playing and teaching!
This was fantastic. I love the range of styles you demonstrate in these videos.
Yeah excellent lesson Adrian. Whenever I am getting slightly bored or stale on guitar you always have something to peak my interest again. Brilliant content on your channel.
Great job. I love your acoustic lessons as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You Rock brother
Been watching your vids since high school. So glad you’re still making content. Thanks for the great vid!
Niled it.
Well, I got the joke!
Very Funnky
Bloody great lesson ! Another outstanding job mate !!!
Was fortunate enough to see him last year. He opened for Cher -- if you can believe that. Should have been the other way around. Great lesson. Putting this one in my "Return to - Many Times" folder.
Awesome. Niles is one of my favorites. Thank you!!!
Dude, you are really bringing the funk! Great choice of riffs!
I don't know how you work all this stuff out but I am so happy you do. Thanks a lot truly appreciated.
Fabulous video mate. Thanks for sharing.
That was awesome. Thank you very much for the lesson, Adrian!
One of the best videos on Nile's playing style thank you .
Excellent. So clear with every detail
Thanks for the great lesson. I enjoy your videos very much!
As someone who had to listen to many guitarplayers screwing up Niles' genius playing, I have to say: you've got that down very nicely, Sir. Respect.
Amazing lesson ...thank you
Great vid mate. Super helpful! Thanks
Thank you so much! So well explained!
Great.
Thank you so much for sharing.
What a beautiful strat, and your voice is calming lol. Cheers.
Perfect been looking for a good nile rodgers lesson. Thanks a lot my friend
Amazing. You're so talented as a guitarist and such a good teacher. Greetings from Argentina!!
killer lesson. Got tons to work on thanks Adrian.
Yo Adrian, fantastic tutorial yet again. thanks . great teacher!
Love the work.. Great to learn.
Great lesson Adrian 👍😁 I love Nile Rodgers songs and his way of playing guitar. BTW Beautiful 60's Strat 👍
Love this. Thank you!
Great tutorial about the style of Nile Rodgers. Thank you!
Just 3 things you need.....
The feel, the drummer and the bass with all these 3.
Great video
Well done, thank you!!
Brilliant lesson.
Nice production Adrian, very fitting for a Nile Rodgers special. I particularly liked your segways, skills!😎🎙🎸✅
You are a great guitarist and teacher
Thank you Sir. Love the Ron Asheton vid lesson too.
So cool, thanks man.
“Thinking of you” defo my fave ever 👍
Many thanks Adrian really useful lesson :) a lesson on a full song by Nile would be awesome like you mentioned in the video.
Superb video. There's my Sunday afternoon tomorrow sorted out. Well this afternoon now actually 🙂
Sounds amazing nice guitar lessons
You are awesome, Sir!
Awesome riffs
Great idea for a lesson. And cool shirt!
Nice fun lesson Adrian 👍 Nile is the best example of a player that has everything and doesn't need a grand solo to prove his worth or reputation. Not many guitarist's like that I can think of? Johnny Marr that's about it
Yes, I agree you certainly don't need widdly-woo solos to be a great guitarist.
Curtis Mayfield is good too
Yes! Johnny Marr cited Nile Rodgers as an influence, in his book.
@@maryfield9730 named his son after him.
Excellent lesson. Thank you. More REM please!
Smokin stuff Adrian, Nile Rogers riffs and chords just smashin stuff to add to your funky guitar know how.
Thanks Adrian👍. I would of never figured out these Nile Rogers riffs. Very cool breakdowns🍺
Great video. I love Nile’s playing. But I love that Bad Brains T-shirt even more 🤘🏼.
Great video thank you soooo much.
I think you're the first RUclipsr that has the closet guitar tone and playing style to Nile I've seen! Definitely subbing!
Great lesson and great t-shirt ;)
lovely stuff, thanks Adrian. Iconic riffage :)
Ooh, I like this lesson ! I don’t listen to much funk to be honest, but it’s so much fun to play these funk rhythms.
Brilliant!!!
nice tone,nice talk..thank you
This is really good!
Great stuff Adrian, thanks. Just realised I've been playing Le Freak wrong for years...
Nice guitar bro!
This is gold.
Super stuff thanks
Excellent tutorial and demonstration!!! Musician USA
the discipline in this type of playing is top
once again,thanks for saying the key!
I love this video. I’m more funk lessons please
Great tee!
Ayyyye, my boy rocking a Bad Brains shirt!
Refreshing to hear great info amongst the Oceans of Hackers on You tube! Thank You!
thanks for you channel
That was great a ton of fun.
Grand merci à vous ( de France) , cette vidéo grâce aux sous titres est vraiment très bien faite et l'explication globale est très bien réalisée , ça m'aide pour acquerrir les riffs de good time et get lucky.
Great stuff. I’m Coming Out is another amazing one
Yes, that was on my shortlist, very nearly made the top 5!
Love Nile Rodger's style.
Fabulous lesson... thanks so much! Suggestion for another lesson: more on syncopation with 16th notes. I've seen videos by Mark Lettieri re: looping, where he casually says "or you could accent the 'and' on 2-ee-and-uh" and I not even sure how to get started on that kind of thing.
Fantastic
This is fantastic! I never knew Nile Rodgers but some of my favorite guitarists (Tom Misch) clearly has learned some things from him. going to spend several days learning from this vid
You may not know him, but you certainly know his songs! His guitar is called "The Hitmaker" for a reason
Definitely interesting when wearing a bad brains t-shirt, in correlation with a Niles Rogers tutorial very well done, being from the United States I've seen the bad brains quite a few times back in the '80s, I will say I did see them back in 1987 when they played in Camden Town in the UK
Brilliant 👍🏻
Maann it's super just got bk home.... Only heard the first riff n working on it.... as said it's melodic !!
I appreciate your shirt.
Continued from my last post…The first thing that I noticed watching Diggin Dirt was that each and every band member are incredible players. As I dove into old funk bands, it was the same thing… Every player kicks ass. The recordings are honest and if a guitarist is using effects…. They only use one or two at a time in a cool & creative way. Not like today’s albums that use 10 digital multi effects all smashed together.
My dive into the funk legendary bands uncovered TONS of bands I never had heard of before. I was floored how many albums and live recordings James Brown had.
A special treat was finding
Dyke and the Blazers !!!! I beg your subscribers who are not familiar to check them out, especially the guitar work. Shame on me for knowing so little about these great funk bands and the incredible guitarists in them.
Other funk band favorites and awesome funk guitarists;
The Average White Band, Mandrill, Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone, Bobby Byrd, Stevie Wonder, Ohio Players.
*** Don’t just listen to the bands Top 3 Hits. At least preview every song on each album. You won’t regret it.
A fellow Dyke & the Blazers fan! Cheerleader!
I hate autofill..Cheers!
Great again 😎
Awesome shirt
Hey Adrian, thanks for this video !! This was one of the best guitar & tone tutorials I’ve found. I recently was at Hueneme Beach Festival in
So Cal, & discovered a great funk band called DIGGIN DIRT. They were sensational and I encourage all you subscribers to check out their RUclips channel. I was so inspired by Diggin Dirt that I dove in head first to see what bands their influences must have come from. I also wanted to learn more about the chords, riffs, right hand tactics and how to get those guitar tones! This video was a great help !!!
Thanks for that, i just checked them out. Top notch. Singer is amazing. 👍👍
You just have to dig those Nylon picks,great on banjos too.Some more Cliff Gallup would be nice Adrian.Thanks.
Great t-shirt from an underrated band!
I'd love an At The Movies lesson!
Thanks burthow the chords on tabalatures
WOW!!!!!- YOU GOT IT!!!! SOUNDS JUST LIKE IT !!! GOOD JOB 🙋🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👌👌🙏🙏🙏Thanks for Sharing💓💕💖💞💘Yaaaaaaa💘
Thanks, Rodgers is one of the best at this and it's good to showcase him. Another one of my favorite riffs by him is on Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out". But I have to respectfully disagree on Get Lucky. To my ears, for each measure, starting on the 3rd 16th note of beat 1, it fundamentally goes like this: ==/==/==/==/==/= (with variations). Of course, there's a second guitar playing sparsely placed single lines, as well, sort of similar to how James Brown might do it. It's a great groove, played it on many a gig when it was new. What I recall most about it, though, was how tricky it was playing that part while singing the chorus as well.
Cool!
