Funk rock brings rhythm to the foreground. Slap bass lines, syncopated guitar scratching, wah-wah pedals and grooves that make you move. Red Hot Chili Peppers are the genre's biggest name, blending funk rhythms with rock energy and punk attitude.

Funk Rock Guitar

Funk rock guitar is rhythm-driven. You'll learn 16th-note strumming, muted "chucking" patterns, single-note riffs and how to use a wah pedal expressively. The right hand does most of the work: the ability to accent specific beats while muting others is what creates the funky feel.
