Diminished Dark Funk Workout

Lesson description:There are two essential cool tricks going on here:

  • The ability to slice all six strings and only get the particular note, or chord chunklet, you're after. The muting trick I show here is evocative of Steve Cropper, Nile Rodgers, Isley Brothers, James Brown, and of course, John Frusciante. 
  • The magic of the ever-mobile, ever-demented diminished triad. We'll call this the diminished skronk, and it's something I picked up from my personal fave weirdo New York post-jazz dark wizard, Marc Ribot.
