the funk guitar dojo

Those chords are the tastiest, crunchiest chords I've ever heard

sometimes i get so excited by funk guitar i skip straight to the treats. most days its just treats actually

honestly convinced this guy could make a whole game that teaches some basics about music while making it fun & engaging

I like how, after describing things as 'tasty', 'crunchy', and 'spicy', he has to end the training sesh with treats.

this literally could be an electric guitar learning video game

I wish I was as cool as these dogs

This would honestly be an awesome concept for a teaching game… like, this “guitar dojo” type thing where you can learn some of the basics, as well as different chords and how to do some stuff in different styles. It’s be super fun and engaging, great for younger kids or people with short attention spans (like me lol). Awesome vid!

As a guitar teacher of 15 years (active musician of 25 years), I'll put my 2 cents in the bucket and say that the animation of this video is INCREDIBLE. The musicianship and vibe is ON FIRE. The quality of the educational portion of heavily depends on your prior guitar knowledge. If you've played some funk guitar before, you'll probably do just fine. If you've played some other styles of guitar and your only experience of funk thus far is that mysterious smell coming from the bottom of your kitchen garbage can, you're gonna need some help. A student who's been playing for about 3 years brought this to me and asked me to help him play it. I broke each chord progression and riff down for him verbatim. Curious how many people out there would like to see a video showing you how to do the same. Promise I'll try and keep it as straight and to the point as Louie does. : )

I was about to go to bed, but this is way better then sleep!

The dog is called "man's funkiest friend" for a reason.

This would be an amazing Nintendo DSi Game.

The best “how to play funk” explanation video ever made. Straight to the point, easy to follow. And you don’t have a obnoxious guy trying to over explain or start his video with “hey there welcome back to Marty’s music”

Louie Zong: Music theory, but cute

He's a musician and he animates, mad skills

Best guitar tutorial I ever saw. Straight to the point, no bs... I am sick of those guitar teachers that talk and talk and just can't get to the point. But this video here... man, we need more of this!!!!

Louie I'm begging you. I've watched this so many times and it just keeps getting better, even after 3 years. I would sincerely pay top dollar for "Funk guitar dojo" to be a real game. Maybe people could hook a guitar hero controller up to it, albeit modified for required groovieness. Your work is amazing Louie, thanks so much for sharing.

This one really has that Louie feel of teaching you something while you have a great time listening.

props to him for keeping the accuracy of the strums to the music. the dogs dont just go up and down at a constant pace but actually match the chords!

I love how the fact that this gives out rhythm heaven vibes
