Willie Answers: Creating a Funk groove

Lesson Run Time: 58 minutes / Release Date: 08/06/2011

In this week’s Willie Answers, we will be covering fast funk grooves. More importantly, we will discuss how to create a groove between you and one other instrument. Often, we find ourselves in “non-traditional” situations like piano and drums only. In this lesson, I’ll show you how to create a ‘simple’ groove, how to put it together in sections, how to do some groove improvisation and use outside chords to create an interesting sound.
