5 Iconic Funk Riffs for Right Hand Mastery

Stop struggling with your rhythm playing. It’s time to master the “stank.”

In this video, I’m breaking down 5 legendary funk riffs that were pivotal in developing my own right-hand technique and fretboard logic.
We’ll cover everything from Nile Rodgers’ percussive 16th notes to the “sloppy” picking style of John Frusciante and the stinging bite of SRV.

What you’ll learn:
🎸 Riff #1 – Chic: Mastering the 16th-note percussive role
🎸 Riff #2 – James Brown: Minimalism and “air” movement (taking it to the bridge!)
🎸 Riff #3 – Wild Cherry: The “slingshot” single-note snap
🎸 Riff #4 – RHCP: Broad picking motion and left-hand muting logic
🎸 Riff #5 – SRV: Combining all techniques for a classic blues-funk bite

Each riff includes a breakdown of the chord shapes and the logic behind them, so you can stop copying and start understanding.
