    Really appreciate the lessons you give us Jonathon. So refreshing to see someone give such high quality work and not try and sell us something. For what it's worth, reminds me of those lollies as well (or something like them)....

    I’m a bit frustrated because you have to describe the notes (presumably for beginners), but your stuff is GREAT!!! Yes, the glisses are great too. I’m terrible at funk but thanks to posts like this, I feel I’m gonna get there. Thanks so much.

    Super Cool Tutorial, with the sheet and the midi+ audio I will be able to learn this. It's the second day me practising this and I managed to play the first part of the tune :) It's quiet challenging but I will eventually get there. It is really great that you are creating this great content. Awesome!!

    Favourite sweet: liquorice. Favourite funk teacher: you. Two observations: I think that natural in front of the G in bar 12 and bar 26 in the sheet music has snuck in there, unless it’s a sharp 9, but I don’t think that’s what you’re playing. Then again, I have been known to come up with what I thought were corrections and then have got it massively wrong. Also, for other small handed people, it’s not too hard to play the 7th notes in those same bars and the bar before with your LH thumb. Thanks Jonathan!

    Thanks Anneka! You're exactly right! I've got some other minor fixes to make to the sheet: some missing grace notes, etc - but that G natural is straight-up wrong! Thanks so much for pointing it out! I'll get it fixed! Glad to hear you can reach those 11th spans with your thumb!

    This is a really good introduction to funk piano for people who haven't had much experience with it, like myself. Thanks! I noticed you propose to drop off the higher notes if the chords get too wide, e.g. the F13 in measure 11. Is there a reason not to play the bottom note of that chord with the left hand, which is only playing the root and could easily reach the 7th with its thumb?

  • @groovewindow

    Excellent call -- in the case of this tune that works perfectly and is a better way to cover _all_ of the notes in the chord even with smaller hands. Thanks for the idea!
