What makes the part famous

The techniques to work on to play it, each in one sentence.

  • Funk rhythm

    Tight sixteenth-note strumming, muted strings and short chords, locked to the drums.

  • Solo

    The passage where the guitar steps forward and sings on its own, phrase after phrase.

Automatic analysis: it can get a chord wrong, and your ear has the last word.

Analyze your own recording

Record yourself playing it, or upload a version you have the right to use: the studio isolates the guitar and finds the chords, tempo, strumming and fingerings, with a fretboard video and a PDF.
