2 Comping Ideas For Blues Funk Grooves Oftentimes funk tunes are built on the traditional 12-bar blues form. The elements which transform a tune from a swing-blues to a funk-blues are usually things like groove, instrumentation, and comping rhythms. In this lesson, we will teach you a powerfully effective yet simple blues-funk comping groove. In addition, you will also learn to add a left hand baseline, a funky fill, and even a bonus chapter which discusses a commonly-encountered funk voicing for dominant chords.

5 Building a Funk Groove Many funk grooves are based on simply 2-4 measures and contain only a few chords. These short passages can make up entire sections of grooving and soloing. In this lesson, we will show you how to build an entire funk groove using only 2 measures and 2 chords. What’s best is that you will learn to build the groove one instrument at a time, examining the drum part, bass part, and clarinet part. You’ll get a bunch of jam tracks so that you can listen, analyze, and learn each individual part in isolation, and get a comprehensive understanding of how the parts fit and work together.
