Levi- your skills are unparalleled on the transcription front- just too cool. Thanks a ton for putting this out there for everyone man! Cheers!

    Hey Levi! šŸ™‚

    Great job as usual! šŸ˜Ž

    Ya know, I requested an Infinite Guitar Tutorial (from any takers) about this style a FEW times, and I was never obliged…:( Oh well, I understand though, because it is a more understated and less “obvious” genius to most guitarists, isn’t it? – LOL! After all, sometimes it’s hard to hear some of these parts the way they are “mixed-back!” Anyways, the genius of this topic is NOT lost on me, and you’ve done a terrific job (as usual) of presenting it accurately (as usual!) šŸ˜‰

    Back in 1990, I took about 5 or 6 lessons from a local (Northern Suburbs of Boston, MA – U.S.A.) guitarist/teacher (Brian Rahilly – A.K.A. Brian Alex) who is a MONSTER funk player, and I had wanted to learn more about this “exciting” rhythm style after going to see him play at a local pub. Anyways, when I went to take my first lesson, and started asking him about the rhythm-stuff, he gave me the obvious “required-listening” homework: James Brown, Tower Of Power, and Earth, Wind, & Fire. HOWEVER, I was surprised when he added to that list: Michael Jackson, Madonna (“Lucky Star”), and Gloria Estefan (“Get On Your Feet!”) I was like: “Really?” (Because I never listened to those artists much, I was too busy trying to learn Nuno’s latest, or an old Steve Lukather/Toto or Michael Schenker/UFO solo – LOL!) Anyways, I took his advise, and he started teaching me these rhythms, and it was like starting over in terms of my whole approach to rhythm! I had to learn how to establish a right-hand/wrist “motor” as he referred to it, I had to learn how to accurately mute ALL unused-strings at ALL times (due to the proliferation of “partial-voicings/2-string/3-string chords” AND I had to learn some new chord-grips/vocabulary. I then had to realize and learn the whole single-note/muted/staccato approach to riffing! DAMN it wasn’t easy, but it was a great experience, and I recommend it to ANYONE who wants to broaden their horizons and become a better all-around “musician who happens to play guitar” as opposed to just a “guitar-player!” šŸ˜Ž

    Thanks again for your efforts Levi! You Rock…(or is it: You Pop?….Nah, YOU ROCK – LOL!) šŸ˜‰
