the funk guitar dojo

had this idea bouncing around for a while!

The dog is called "man's funkiest friend" for a reason.

This would honestly be an awesome concept for a teaching game… like, this “guitar dojo” type thing where you can learn some of the basics, as well as different chords and how to do some stuff in different styles. It’s be super fun and engaging, great for younger kids or people with short attention spans (like me lol). Awesome vid!

Those chords are the tastiest, crunchiest chords I've ever heard

[CityGirlMusic]

sometimes i get so excited by funk guitar i skip straight to the treats.

most days its just treats actually

[riceyeeter]

this literally could be an electric guitar learning video game

[fathomtuns]

I like how, after describing things as 'tasty', 'crunchy', and 'spicy', he has to end the training sesh with treats.

[jaysus-lrgk]

This one really has that Louie feel of teaching you something while you have a great time listening.

[calacalamari]

honestly convinced this guy could make a whole game that teaches some basics about music while making it fun & engaging

[vastvoids]

He's a musician and he animates, mad skills

[WeAreTheValence]

As a guitar teacher of 15 years (active musician of 25 years), I'll put my 2 cents in the bucket and say that the animation of this video is INCREDIBLE. The musicianship and vibe is ON FIRE.
The quality of the educational portion of heavily depends on your prior guitar knowledge. If you've played some funk guitar before, you'll probably do just fine.
If you've played some other styles of guitar and your only experience of funk thus far is that mysterious smell coming from the bottom of your kitchen garbage can, you're gonna need some help.
A student who's been playing for about 3 years brought this to me and asked me to help him play it. I broke each chord progression and riff down for him verbatim.

Curious how many people out there would like to see a video showing you how to do the same. Promise I'll try and keep it as straight and to the point as Louie does. : )

[TheAeonAnimA]

Why isn’t there an actual music course like this? WAY more engaging than anything I’ve seen.

[kadenbrussow]

I was about to go to bed, but this is way better then sleep!

[adr]

This feels like it would be a Rhythm Heaven minigame.

[darko]

The best “how to play funk” explanation video ever made. Straight to the point, easy to follow. And you don’t have a obnoxious guy trying to over explain or start his video with “hey there welcome back to Marty’s music”

[theBrokerEXE]

This video: *exists*
Me, who's never played a guitar a day in his life: I like your funny words, magic dog

[creativecreepyturtle]

Didn’t come here to train, but to listen

Edit: HOW DID THIS BLOW UP AM I RIGHT LADS OR AM I RIGHT

[jubbybubby]

You should totally make a rhythm game! This is so good!

[WaterMeLoan]

This would be an amazing Nintendo DSi Game.

[joyjones]

I actually learned something, Nothing has ever made sense when looking how to learn, this made sense.

[cromcorgetti]

This gives off mad ds-era game vibes, especially Rhythm Heaven.
