@@tu-estupidez9713 I sent this to my guitar teacher today when we were doing funk songs, and he said "I'm so gonna rob this and use it to teach people" lol
As a metal guitarist who’s been playing 13 years, I concur 100%. Digestible, fun, and honestly rather information-dense. If I smell a project coming to fruition, hit me up.
This would honestly be an awesome concept for a teaching game… like, this “guitar dojo” type thing where you can learn some of the basics, as well as different chords and how to do some stuff in different styles. It’s be super fun and engaging, great for younger kids or people with short attention spans (like me lol). Awesome vid!
The best “how to play funk” explanation video ever made. Straight to the point, easy to follow. And you don’t have a obnoxious guy trying to over explain or start his video with “hey there welcome back to Marty’s music”
@@josephconnel1441 it’s just standard tuning and you literally just learn three chord structures. Ofc funk is more complex than that, but if you can’t follow this video you take it slow.
As a guitar teacher of 15 years (active musician of 25 years), I'll put my 2 cents in the bucket and say that the animation of this video is INCREDIBLE. The musicianship and vibe is ON FIRE. The quality of the educational portion of heavily depends on your prior guitar knowledge. If you've played some funk guitar before, you'll probably do just fine. If you've played some other styles of guitar and your only experience of funk thus far is that mysterious smell coming from the bottom of your kitchen garbage can, you're gonna need some help. A student who's been playing for about 3 years brought this to me and asked me to help him play it. I broke each chord progression and riff down for him verbatim. Curious how many people out there would like to see a video showing you how to do the same. Promise I'll try and keep it as straight and to the point as Louie does. : )
Best guitar tutorial I ever saw. Straight to the point, no bs... I am sick of those guitar teachers that talk and talk and just can't get to the point. But this video here... man, we need more of this!!!!
In case anyone is actually using this to learn there's a chord shape he uses that isn't mentioned at 1:44 This is a different shape for Gsus2 (1st st. 15 fret, 2nd st. 15 fret, 3rd st. 14 fret). Also pretend there's a capo on the second fret for the animated riff tabs, they're off.
Louie I'm begging you. I've watched this so many times and it just keeps getting better, even after 3 years. I would sincerely pay top dollar for "Funk guitar dojo" to be a real game. Maybe people could hook a guitar hero controller up to it, albeit modified for required groovieness. Your work is amazing Louie, thanks so much for sharing.
@@Upotrex yeah ik, unfortunately awesome games like that would be very expensive to make and would probably be played with very expensive equipment. Still though, if it ever happened , it would be well received.
I like it but I don't really understand most of it. "Dominant something" or major D And add 9? I've never even heard that in my life. I still like it a lot though
@@edibleasbestos9467 Dominants are a little bit more complicated to explain, but the ninth is simply an octave plus a second. So a C9 would be a C chord (of any flavor) with a D added an octave plus a whole step up
You'd be expecting the students to have a lot competences to play this, so it'd be more fit for an advanced course. For a beginner this would be ultimately frustrating because you'd understand half of the things and not get it at all. So for advanced players, maybe, but your first classes will still be scales and chords there's no way around it lol.
Okay I know this is forever old but I have to improvise over 4 funk tunes that have almost no guitar in them to learn from and I’ve been freaking out a little but this video (WHICH I HAVE SEEN BEFORE) just popped up to save my bacon and it’s perfect. SO THANK YOU.
Can we all just PLEASE stop saying "pentatonic scale" when we actually mean "blues scale"? The blues scale has six notes, the pentatonic has five, and penta means five, so the answer is already in the name. They are NOT the same. ...having said that, this is a damn good funk guitar lesson! :)
@@truffeltroll6668 Absolutely NOT! A pentatonic scale by definition can only have five notes, no more and no less. The blues scale is Hexagonic, not Pentatonic.
Dude thank you so much every other tutorial I watch just leaves me as confused as I was. This actually gave me a good starting point to mess around with. Rad dog dojo
as someone who only has a very basic knowledge of guitar playing, i am desperately hoping this becomes a series. i too wish to learn the way of funk *u*
There’s a game called a short hike and it is not a rhythm game but it has that sort of pixeley look and has pretty good music. It is very relaxing and I recommend it. It is on Nintendo switch and also probably some computers.
@@aeho7496 Got rhythm heaven fever on the WiiU, it's a blast! Although I wish there were rhythm games out there that would genuinely teach you how to play an intstrument
this is such an amazing idea! You could make a whole series out of this! what a fantastic way to entertain and teach! most impressive video ive seen in a while. if you ever end up making this series i'll drop a sub for that
I wish this was an actual game, in which you levelled up by performing chords and phrases correctly into a little microphone, and you do attacks in rpg style battles with licks and you block with power chords or something, this video is really inspiring, thanks
You should check out Rhythm Heaven for DS, not as extensive as what you described but it does have its own type of satisfaction to mastering it. The aesthetic and general vibe is super similar to this vid too.
You can check out Rocksmith. You use an actual electric guitar to play it (connected to ur PC or console with a special cord), and it has mini games that can help you practice scales and etc. in the form similar to what you described. (attack by playing chords, block, etc etc)
This be cool if it were a game and should it be turned into a game I would also love to see how the game would tackle chords and melodies from other Rock Genres like Progressive, Psychedelic, Alternative, Metal, Hard Rock... etc. Neat work though!
0:00 intro 0:14 dominant 9th chord 0:30 dominant 9th #9 chord 0:45 add9 chord 0:54 sus4 and major chord alternation 1:08 minor pentatonic scale with a blues note b5 1:24 all together 1:56 end.
Either enroll in a class, pay for an online course, or go the broke way and absuse the ever-unliving shit of google looking for any resources at all (the one i chose), maybe going to a library would help, talking to a friend who knows some guitar could help and they could teach you some basics, basically as long as you keep pursuing your stuff you'll get there, even if you struggle a lot, 15 mins of practice a day is a hundred times better than no practice at all, if it was easy most people would do it, so you gotta keep pushing while also avoiding burnout this is just what i think, i don't actually play guitar, i tried wayyy back in november 2020 and quickly gave up, consistency is key but my life's a mess right now, i just hope this helps even if just a little
I've about only played funk on bass and organ for over a decade now. I recently picked up a guitar, ngl the chords in this video really were a kickstart haha, you're amazing!
Please please make more content like this. I actually learned so much more from this 2:09 video than I have in months. It’s very to them point and easily digestible. Also guitar playing dogs. Enough said.
bro this was unreal, the editing, animation, and music was entertaining. one of the rare instances where I finished the video without being bored or getting distracted.
This is very cute. Your videos are always really fun to watch and always put a smile on my face. They have nice music, nice animation nice etc. Thank you Louie Zong. :)
