Funk guitar

Funk guitar is a style that emphasizes rhythmic groove, syncopation, and a strong sense of danceability. It features percussive playing techniques, such as muted chugs and sharp, repetitive riffs, often focused on the root notes and pentatonic scales. The guitar typically works closely with the bass and drums to create a tight, groove-based foundation. Artists like Nile Rodgers popularized funk guitar with clean, rhythmic strumming and minimal distortion, highlighting groove over melody. Overall, funk guitar is about creating compelling, propulsive rhythms that make listeners want to move.
