Funk Guitar Techniques Vol.1

The idea of this video is to give guitarists new to playing funk a few ideas for rhythm playing.
Tabs are available for each of these examples - so if you'd like them, message me and tell me your email address and i'll post them off to you as a pdf.
All the music here is from the album "It's The Pimptones", available for download at www.nickprideandthepimptones.bandcamp.com, check out the songs "Shake'n'Bake" (Example 1), "Unleash The Beast" (Examples 2 and 3) and the bonus track "No no no" is where Examples 4 and 5 came from.
I hope this clip gives you a few ideas to work with.
Nick
