I think this place has some good stuff about funk and funk rhythm. http://soundme.com/eng/ Scroll down on the list to the left and you should see Funky Rhythm. I hope that helps you out.:) Oh and by the way, do you listen to the chili peppers? I think they incorporate funk in their music very well.

You know in the part of the song "Give it away" by the peppers where John does tremolo picking on the G,B,and e strings at the 19th fret all the way to the 8th fret? Well, I can't seem to get it...it's the hardest part of the song.....and i can tremolo pick one string really well, but this part of the song is so fast and my fingers wanna mute the strings that high up:(. Can someone help? Funk dudes? plz

practice it slowly at first or do some tremolo picking exrecizes for a couple of strings on diffrent frets u'll get it evetually

I'll try to practice with some tremelo excercises.....but my practice sessions seem to get too long and I barely have time to practice what I do:( Why can't days be longer? Anyway, thanks for the advice.
