Acoustic funk split strumming

“

- All right, now let's cover some funk split strumming. So, even as you're holding a chord down you don't always have to strum all six strings. It sounds really more percussive and has more dynamic ability if you go between some of the bass strings and some of the treble strings, kind of like... Let's work on an example that kind of focuses on what you can do with this split strum idea. Here's the first example of that. One, two, three, four. All right, this next example is called Funkalicious Booty Shaking Groove Number One, and basically, it stays on the treble strings for the full groove, but you kind of just hit the bass notes at the down beat right at the beginning. Check this one out. One, two, three, four. And now for Funkalicious Booty Shaking Groove Number Two. Now, this one just mixes it up a little bit more between the bass notes and the treble notes. So, check it out. One, two, three, four.
