Why practice with funk?
Master Rhythm
Nothing develops your timing like funk. Those 16th note subdivisions will tighten up everything you play in every other genre.
Find the Pocket
Funk teaches you to lock in with the rhythm section. When you find the pocket, you feel it in your bones.
Less is More
Funk rewards restraint. Learn that one perfectly placed note beats a hundred busy ones.
Practice tips
- Mute is your friend - funk is as much about what's muted as what rings out
- Practice with a metronome on beats 2 and 4 to internalize the groove
- Single notes often work better than full chords in funk rhythm playing
