Join Groove With Precision: https://www.groovewithprecision.com/g... In this lesson, we break down the iconic groove from Drive That Funky Soul by James Brown and use it to develop one of the most important skills in funk guitar: combining rhythm and lead seamlessly. Instead of treating chords and licks as separate ideas, you’ll learn how to keep a consistent 16th-note strumming feel while adding expressive fills, hammer-ons, and melodic movement within the groove. Whether you’re looking to improve your rhythm playing or start integrating lead ideas into your grooves, this lesson will give you a clear, practical framework you can apply to any funk style.
