Funk Rhythm Guitar Ideas

Funk is fun to play. Like any “genre” there are certain things I notice most funk guys do. This is some take-aways I have when I try to play some funk. Space is the place. Don’t play too much. This is by no means the only way to play funky, but should get you in the right direction!
