Here’s an entry-level finger-funk groove that uses pentatonic 16th note syncopations over an Fm chord. The notes might be easy, but trust me – THE GROOVE IS NOT! You really need to focus on your timing and your feel, because the tightness of your notes and the precision of your groove is EVERYTHING in funk music.
