Thanks for stopping by don't forget to subscribe and check out my website 👍
What is the brand of your 335? Some very fine wood, I see
Love your groove and Funk as you demonstrate the voices. Well done Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot Adam! Wish I'd met you 30 years ago. Funky!😮
Dude i'm always lookin for cool guitar vids and this is great -- not the typical scale/shred/fast picking junk 🤘
Hey thanks CV, and lol! Yeah, the groove comes first!
Yeah that's what I liked about it. He built on the chord structure. Repeated it enough times to the point that I could repeat what he played. And kept my interest. A lot of good teachers slow down to teach vs perform to show their skill. And when on stage it is 150% effort.
There is so much good content in here, you just taught me a bunch of stuff in a pretty short time so thank you Adam.
EXACTLY WHAT NEEDED 👍
Great explanation.
Thank you, this is gold!
Papa’s got a brand new bag sort of now. I really need to practice. Thank you very much for the lessons.
Great lesson and easy to follow, many thanks.
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for ages. Thanks!
Perfect. Exactly what I need. Thank you very much✌️👌🎸
My gaud! How did Adam know I needed this lesson! Seriously, this is big for my.

Good stuff.
excellent, thank you!!
My pleasure!
Been looking for this kind of video - thx Adam!
You are welcome!
At 5:42, first time I’ve ever heard the tritone described as “very funky.” Somewhere Ol’ Scratch is chuckling…
Subscribed. This video is a Masterclass on funk guitar. Thank you!
Very useful thank you!
Thanks Peter!!!
Really interesting and helpful Adam ! Thank you for sharing ! New subscriber.
Awesome lesson! I learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great lesson, Adam. I've been working on these voicings lately (playing them in all 12 keys daily to really get them down) and today I used them in a new song I wrote. It's not a funky song, a somewhat folky blues, but the chords added a lot to an ascending vocal line.
Good lesson. The C9 with the D on top fits in here too. C-E-Bb-D
Yes, absolutely, thanks Joel!
Great lesson 🤟🤠🤟
Thanks Pedro!
1st time viewer & long time player. Best and cleanest description of beginning funk chords I've ever seen. Excellent video. Sub'd
"Oww, we need the funk, we gotta have that funk."~
Jerome Brailey
George Clinton
Bootsy Collins
And if you take the commonly used B7 shape (as when playing E blues) and move it up 2 frets, you have yet another version.
Great lesson. Excellent way to practice variations on a chord. I guess the next logical step is to pick two or better 3 chords and go through a progression over a loop making sure to practice variations on those chords. Very cool!
yeah we can walk those voiceings up and down...a fun lesson///thanks.........
Hey Adam here as well
Just subscribed
Great stuff, much needed to the journey
Super
The funk is real!
Cool
Great real life / hands on lesson, Adam ! We met in 1993 in front of the Grove school, which just had been shut down. I just arrived from Germany to enroll and was pretty clueless.. You were very helpful and kind, giving me some private lessons.... Thanks Alex
Oh yeah Alex, wow I had to joggle the brain cells but I kinda remember that. You must have been freaked out about it all. Great to hear from you let's stay in touch!
Nice lesson
Thanks! 😃
Great video! Learned a few "new" things. Incidently , when you raise the 3rd to the 4th, it is properly (as you pointed out), called the "sus[pended] 4th". What a lot of people don't know is that when you raise it up to the 5th it is not called "suspended" but rather "hoisted". Only seasoned musicians are familiar with the "hoisted 5th"...comes with all those late nights!
Thanks. Trying to get is all in order. Is suspended decending and hoisting ascending?
I feel so funky now I gotta take a shower.😄
Good stuff.👍
That Collings sounds nice!
It's my favorite go to guitar! Thanks Don!
Hey Adam - Long time no see! I hope all is well. I was just watching some theory videos - then your video came up recommended and I instantly subscribed. I miss those Faultline days a lot
Jimmy Nolen , James Browns guitarist the grand dad of funk guitar .
Oooooh yes, so good, save us from being stuck on a single position !
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your explanation !
I suscribe.
Thank you
Awesome lesson! Rhythm, so important, so overlooked!
Thanks for this great lesson Adam,!
By the way, I am really enjoying your website and your courses, so glad that I decided to invest in them! Outstanding value!
That makes me happy! Thanks!!!
@@adamlevine2316 Thank you Adam!
Grande Briatore, hai iniziato la carriera al Bilionaire suonando funky
Good tutorial. Thanks. Check out Average White Band’s Cut the Cake for several voicings of D7 and D9 all over the neck.
Thanks for the funky chord progressions @adamlovesguitar ima guessing a baseball fan or two may have called you the “Funky Joe Maddon doppelgänger” from time to time. From a loooong time EWF, PFunk,T. O. P. , & Confunkshun fan!
Greetings Adam 👋
Good stuff 👋
I could use this somewhere cool 😎
Thanks!!!
Sounds like you are a songwriter/composer as well and yes they help spice up a song for sure!
Bread & butter is so tasty!!! Nice lesson Bro...Very useful ...thank a lot...
Specially compliments cause you go straight to the point...this make things flow ...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
(Sorry 4 my awful english ...im brazilian and know just a little...but I think U can understand me) bye
Thanks for that. Your initial chord (where you labeled the C on the high E as the root) looks like a Gm to me with an added 4th (the C note)
What's the strum pattern you are using? thanks for a great video!
Without even watching this I'm gonna say one of them would be E9 ✅✅✅✅
Cool! Makes me think Bowie/Let's Dance where some of these voicing use. I'm all the wiser. Thanks
Yeah you're right Michael, like "Let's Dance" uses some of these shapes.
O, that's good! Thank you for this. It's a big help and gives me something to work on. ;o)
Bread and Butter, now just gotta add the Jam!
Believe it or not the way I saw how to play funk was Led Zeppelin's 'The Crunge". I saw the chords in a book.
"Take it to the bridge!" James Brown
Thanks. That was very helpful. If you like you can check some groovy funk backing tracks on my channel. I am going to use these new shapes to play along.
nice! great explanations! ......but where is the C9??? imho, the primal funk chord. ask Jimmy Nolen.
I love the modern high tec guitars. But if you play Funk, you need a stratocaster. Nile Rogers sounds perfect every time.
What about Bruno Speight. He really holds down the rhythm. I've played with a lot of funk guitarists on various guitars. They all have their personal preference and amps to get the sound they want effectively. The strat also very versatile one of my favorites. A 335 is light and can do almost anything for any genre. Sitting around teaching some chords, I'd pick the lightest guitar. A man with Adams experience probably also owns a strat. I own several guitars. I liked niles on his npr mini concert.
How could Niles not sound good playing his famous music over and over and over to the point of perfection.
I use both, if it's a Steely Dan kinda thing I might go w the Collins but for James Brown/Prince I'll go Strat. I used the Strat at the beginning of the vid.
Well, yes and no. I agree, the neck pickup on a Strat is killer. I think the 2nd and 4th pickup positions have their place but are overused. A lot of times, it can be refreshing to use something other than a Strat. Listen to Sly, EWF, TOP, Prince, etc. Lots of Teles, 335s and even LPs.
Rob Harris the best funk guy playing strat
...that sounds so great but only explains the "what" and not the "how" what does your right hand do
😎👍
This is a great tutorial, and thank you for that. But the text across the screen mostly blocks us from being able to see what the chord shapes are that you are playing. 🤔
Are you referring to the captions at the bottom of the screen? You can turn those off hitting the CC button at the bottom of the viewer.
I’ll never be able to move my head up and down like that.
Hi Adam. Question, which maybe real stupid but your C7 b7 on top doesn't actually have a root note C in it. I've played it alongside the other chords and it works so I'm pleasantly surprised but also confused. Could you explain please? BTW thanks for the video.
Hi Mr Pink, excellent observation. There are two concepts involved when you have rootless chords. I’ll be sure to explain the next time I make a video that has chords without roots. The first concept is that when you are a guitarist in a band you can rely on the bass player to put the root in the picture. In otherwords, you are an extension of the bass and the listener hears the big picture, C9. The second concept is that we as guitar players and pianists leave out the root all the time (especially in jazz) and quite often other notes like the 3rd or 5th can be left out. It creates a somewhat hollow or spacial chord yet it still functions because you’re not adding something to the chord you’re leaving it out. But in the example we are talking about the chord being represented is actually C9. And I don’t know you’re theory level but here’s what’s happenning. 1. C9 is C E G Bb D or (R 3 5 b7 9). If you take the R away what’s left is Emi7b5, E G Bb D. So, you can play Emi7b5 anytime you are asked to play C9. Of course it helps to have a bass player play the low root C to complete the sonic picture. Hope that all makes sense. Thanks so much for your comment and question I will be sure to bring it up the next time we do a video with this concept!
Don't forget that the bass is hitting the one with other guitar and keys. But I see what you mean. It opens up a lot of interesting thought provoking musical questions. Thanks Adam.
🙇♂️💓🍀🎶 👋😃
So, basically you just harmonized your primary chord up the neck, that about what I’m understanding?
Are you saying it affectively gets the job done without having to use a bar chord. All those muting fingers sometimes looks like a complex chord lol. So a triad with a forth note for flavor and not to get bored lol. I can't get enough. Of That Funky Stuff. I played by ear all those years and now trying to get caught up attaching theory to what I know. Thanks. I'm a bass player learning guitar. lol
The music in the background while you’re talking is sort of distracting. Is that intentionally added or bleeding in from another room nearby?
Also, I’m sure you’re still figuring out the editing stuff but there are a few parts that feel over edited. The introduction, for example…all the mouse clicking sounds and transitions. It’s a bit “extra”, as the youngens would say. There’s also a few parts where you show tabs for some of the chords but forget on the others. Check out 6:20 as an example of what I’m talking about.
Not trying to be negative. Just offering what is hopefully constructive criticism. It seems like you’re putting some effort into this; if I were in your position, I would want to hear this stuff. So here I am!
Keep it up! Thanks for the content!
Hi Sleepy Horses, I really appreciate the great feedback and yes there is a piano studio down the hall but we have now worked out a filming schedule and the piano will not be used during production. Thanks! Adam
Neck adjustment required immediately there buddy. So much buzzing and choking out going on. That axe is capable of sounding a whole lot better, believe me. Otherwise, really cool tips for that funk tone - thanks man! Get that truss rod adjusted along with the string height and she will SING. Cheers!
Thanks Chris, I'll have a conversation with my guitar tech about it. Glad you liked the vid!!!
Get rid of the words across the fretboard!!
Hi Lawrence, I assume you are referring to the captions on the video? You can turn those off by hitting the CC button on the bottom of the video player. 🙂
Гитарка явно не для фанка
I disagree sir. I have a hollowbody guitar that I play blues/funk/rock, & even country. I guess the point is…it’s not the guitar…it is the man or woman playing that guitar that makes all the difference IMO.
I have never had a guitar that I can’t play funk on. 😅
Doesn't anyone nowadays say "suspended" instead of "sus"? Maybe I'm old fashioned (along with just old LOL), but it bugs the heck out of me to hear that term "sus" because unless you know it's origin, it has no meaning. A lot of younger players without a music background will never understand where that term originated or what it means.
I also despise the use of "axe" in place of "ask". Another disturbing trend is the inability to pronounce consonants at the end of simple polysyllabic words. We are losing a lot of essential evolutionary skills that differentiate humans from mollusks.
@@thomaswagner6495 Nome sane?
@@mjazzguitar Made me smile, thanks man!
…the notation “sus” for suspended chords has been in use since at least the mid 20th century. Nearly all sheet music and instructional materials refer to suspended chords as “sus”. In fact, it’s so widely used that a beginner musician would likely sooner make the correct association hearing “sus” vs. “suspended”.
That said, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that anyone getting into music won’t eventually learn the shortened words origin. Within your first few music theory lessons you will learn about suspended notes of chords thereby creating dissonance.
Are you sure you aren’t confusing the trend of today’s youth using the word “sus” as short for “suspicious” with what you’re hearing in this video?
@@thomaswagner6495Surely you recognize the irony of discussing human evolution while using a platform that epitomizes the zenith of modern communication technology.
You’re surrounded by vast and undeniable evidence of human progress and achievement but choose to point to some meaningless language habit as evidence of decline.
It’s akin to walking into a vibrant, thriving forest but choosing instead to focus on the withered leaf that lies on the ground.
