Funk and R&B for Guitarists (JamPlay)

If you’re ready to tighten up your rhythm chops and bring authentic groove to your playing, Michael “Nomad” Ripoll is here to guide you through the soulful world of Funk, R&B, and classic Rhythm & Blues. Drawing on his experience performing with legends like Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, Nomad breaks down the secret sauce behind these timeless styles—tone, feel, touch, and attitude.

This course goes way beyond technique drills or chord diagrams. It’s a deep exploration of the subtle, expressive tools that make funk and soul guitar come alive. You'll dig into right-hand techniques, tone-shaping tips, rhythmic concepts, and chord voicings that are all about pocket, precision, and personality. With Nomad’s relaxed teaching style and endless vault of grooves, riffs, and licks, you’ll learn how to make even the simplest part sound rich, funky, and alive.

From chicken pickin’ and skankin’ to wah-driven strums and slippery syncopation, each lesson builds your vocabulary and equips you to confidently sit in with any rhythm section. Plus, you’ll apply everything you learn over expertly produced backing tracks, ensuring you're not just learning techniques in isolation—you’re learning to play the part, in the groove, in real musical situations.
