Members Mooncat84 Posted April 21, 2020 Members Share Posted April 21, 2020 Funk guitar in the style of Cory Wong from Vulfpeck Give this fun exercise a go! Includes right hand damping, string muting, and of course, Cory's bionic right hand. I couldn't find a striped t-shirt to pay proper tribute to him. Do you think my polka dots are funky enough?

Members jeremy_green Posted April 22, 2020 Members Share Posted April 22, 2020 I like it man! Great lesson. My only comment would be that maybe it would help people understand the thinking, if you included the chord name. Im not sure the reference - but to me this sounds like a B7 vamp with the high 2 notes are the m7 and M3 to the B and the lower note (F#) simply being the 5th of a B7 chord. I only add this not as a criticism, just that when I was earlier in my development a riff like this would have seemed magical - like "how would he have ever come up with that?". But when you see the logic now that idea is applicable in any tonic centre. I know the lesson was more centred around the rhythm aspect - so job done there. Cheers!

I definitely know the feeling of seeing something cool on guitar and wondering how they came up with it, so I'll take that advice on board. As for the theory, I was looking at it more as an F#m6 with the minor 3rd and 6 making up the chord on the high strings, tonic in the base, but your way works too. Not sure what way Cory intended it I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels B7 to me, but it can go a few ways as you point out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
