Great video Adrian, I've alway loved Nile Rodgers's style of playing. It's much more complicated than you think. He told a lovely story about making "Let's Dance" with David Bowie. Bowie came to him with the original idea of the song and he changed the arrangement so it came out much funkier. He was a bit worried that Bowie might think that it was too funky but Bowie's reply was "Can anything be too funky?"
Great story! No such thing as too funky...
@@acpg always love that STANK
Both cool people and I am glad Bowie said that ! That's a cool way to respond to a very funky Nile Roger's.
I think you're the first TH-camr that has the closet guitar tone and playing style to Nile I've seen! Definitely subbing!
7:06 YES!! This is such a cool Niles riff! Thank you so much for showing us!
Totally Agree!
I dont think he says. What song is this?
@@Mrfuzzypants26 Thinking of you

Thanks! Another cool one is I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross.
Excellent lesson mate, Nile is one of my favourite guitarists
More Nile Rodgers stuff! Detailed whole songs tutorials, please!
Those songs are the reason I bought a guitar 😍
Great tutorial - as always! Competent and to the point, yet so modest and respectful to the music and the artists you cover. And the sound is definitely spot on!
This was fantastic. I love the range of styles you demonstrate in these videos.
Your lessons are awesome Adrian! Spot on and detailed!
Been watching your vids since high school. So glad you’re still making content. Thanks for the great vid!
Sir, you are fantastic. Absolutely love this video, as I , like you admire Nile Rodger’s playing. So so helpful. Thank you, will keep me practising for hours.
Yeah excellent lesson Adrian. Whenever I am getting slightly bored or stale on guitar you always have something to peak my interest again. Brilliant content on your channel.
You always come up with really cool ideas for tutos!
Niled it.
Well, I got the joke!
Very Funnky
Dude, you are really bringing the funk! Great choice of riffs!
Great job. I love your acoustic lessons as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You Rock brother
"Thinking of you" is my favourite riff as well! "lose yourself" is up there as well. Great playing and teaching!
Wicked Mate I've been waiting for exactly this lesson...Many thanks for sharing 👍
Bloody great lesson ! Another outstanding job mate !!!
I don't know how you work all this stuff out but I am so happy you do. Thanks a lot truly appreciated.
Awesome. Niles is one of my favorites. Thank you!!!
That was awesome. Thank you very much for the lesson, Adrian!
Fabulous video mate. Thanks for sharing.
Was fortunate enough to see him last year. He opened for Cher -- if you can believe that. Should have been the other way around. Great lesson. Putting this one in my "Return to - Many Times" folder.
One of the best videos on Nile's playing style thank you .
What a beautiful strat, and your voice is calming lol. Cheers.
Excellent. So clear with every detail
Thanks for the great lesson. I enjoy your videos very much!
As someone who had to listen to many guitarplayers screwing up Niles' genius playing, I have to say: you've got that down very nicely, Sir. Respect.
Amazing. You're so talented as a guitarist and such a good teacher. Greetings from Argentina!!
Perfect been looking for a good nile rodgers lesson. Thanks a lot my friend
Nice production Adrian, very fitting for a Nile Rodgers special. I particularly liked your segways, skills!😎🎙🎸✅
Nice fun lesson Adrian 👍 Nile is the best example of a player that has everything and doesn't need a grand solo to prove his worth or reputation. Not many guitarist's like that I can think of? Johnny Marr that's about it
Yes, I agree you certainly don't need widdly-woo solos to be a great guitarist.
Curtis Mayfield is good too
Yes! Johnny Marr cited Nile Rodgers as an influence, in his book.
@@maryfield9730 named his son after him.
Great vid mate. Super helpful! Thanks
Great lesson Adrian 👍😁 I love Nile Rodgers songs and his way of playing guitar. BTW Beautiful 60's Strat 👍
Amazing lesson ...thank you
Yo Adrian, fantastic tutorial yet again. thanks . great teacher!
Thank you so much! So well explained!
Superb video. There's my Sunday afternoon tomorrow sorted out. Well this afternoon now actually 🙂
Great tutorial about the style of Nile Rodgers. Thank you!
killer lesson. Got tons to work on thanks Adrian.
You are a great guitarist and teacher
Thank you Sir. Love the Ron Asheton vid lesson too.
Excellent lesson. Thank you. More REM please!
Love the work.. Great to learn.
Love this. Thank you!
Many thanks Adrian really useful lesson :) a lesson on a full song by Nile would be awesome like you mentioned in the video.
Well done, thank you!!
Brilliant lesson.
Thanks Adrian👍. I would of never figured out these Nile Rogers riffs. Very cool breakdowns🍺
Just 3 things you need.....
The feel, the drummer and the bass with all these 3.
Great video
Great video. I love Nile’s playing. But I love that Bad Brains T-shirt even more 🤘🏼.
Great idea for a lesson. And cool shirt!
Great lesson and great t-shirt ;)
Smokin stuff Adrian, Nile Rogers riffs and chords just smashin stuff to add to your funky guitar know how.
“Thinking of you” defo my fave ever 👍
Great video thank you soooo much.
So cool, thanks man.
Sounds amazing nice guitar lessons
lovely stuff, thanks Adrian. Iconic riffage :)
You are awesome, Sir!
Awesome riffs
Ooh, I like this lesson ! I don’t listen to much funk to be honest, but it’s so much fun to play these funk rhythms.
Definitely interesting when wearing a bad brains t-shirt, in correlation with a Niles Rogers tutorial very well done, being from the United States I've seen the bad brains quite a few times back in the '80s, I will say I did see them back in 1987 when they played in Camden Town in the UK
nice tone,nice talk..thank you
Great stuff Adrian, thanks. Just realised I've been playing Le Freak wrong for years...
Great stuff. I’m Coming Out is another amazing one
Yes, that was on my shortlist, very nearly made the top 5!
Excellent tutorial and demonstration!!! Musician USA
Brilliant!!!
Continued from my last post…The first thing that I noticed watching Diggin Dirt was that each and every band member are incredible players. As I dove into old funk bands, it was the same thing… Every player kicks ass. The recordings are honest and if a guitarist is using effects…. They only use one or two at a time in a cool & creative way. Not like today’s albums that use 10 digital multi effects all smashed together.
My dive into the funk legendary bands uncovered TONS of bands I never had heard of before. I was floored how many albums and live recordings James Brown had.
A special treat was finding
Dyke and the Blazers !!!! I beg your subscribers who are not familiar to check them out, especially the guitar work. Shame on me for knowing so little about these great funk bands and the incredible guitarists in them.
Other funk band favorites and awesome funk guitarists;
The Average White Band, Mandrill, Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone, Bobby Byrd, Stevie Wonder, Ohio Players.
*** Don’t just listen to the bands Top 3 Hits. At least preview every song on each album. You won’t regret it.
A fellow Dyke & the Blazers fan! Cheerleader!
I hate autofill..Cheers!
I love this video. I’m more funk lessons please
Super stuff thanks
This is fantastic! I never knew Nile Rodgers but some of my favorite guitarists (Tom Misch) clearly has learned some things from him. going to spend several days learning from this vid
You may not know him, but you certainly know his songs! His guitar is called "The Hitmaker" for a reason
This is really good!
Nice guitar bro!
thanks for you channel
Great tee!
the discipline in this type of playing is top
This is gold.
Fabulous lesson... thanks so much! Suggestion for another lesson: more on syncopation with 16th notes. I've seen videos by Mark Lettieri re: looping, where he casually says "or you could accent the 'and' on 2-ee-and-uh" and I not even sure how to get started on that kind of thing.
Refreshing to hear great info amongst the Oceans of Hackers on You tube! Thank You!
That was great a ton of fun.
once again,thanks for saying the key!
Fantastic
Grand merci à vous ( de France) , cette vidéo grâce aux sous titres est vraiment très bien faite et l'explication globale est très bien réalisée , ça m'aide pour acquerrir les riffs de good time et get lucky.
Brilliant 👍🏻
Hey Adrian, thanks for this video !! This was one of the best guitar & tone tutorials I’ve found. I recently was at Hueneme Beach Festival in
So Cal, & discovered a great funk band called DIGGIN DIRT. They were sensational and I encourage all you subscribers to check out their TH-cam channel. I was so inspired by Diggin Dirt that I dove in head first to see what bands their influences must have come from. I also wanted to learn more about the chords, riffs, right hand tactics and how to get those guitar tones! This video was a great help !!!
Thanks for that, i just checked them out. Top notch. Singer is amazing. 👍👍
Great t-shirt from an underrated band!
I'd love an At The Movies lesson!
Ayyyye, my boy rocking a Bad Brains shirt!
Maann it's super just got bk home.... Only heard the first riff n working on it.... as said it's melodic !!
Love Nile Rodger's style.
You just have to dig those Nylon picks,great on banjos too.Some more Cliff Gallup would be nice Adrian.Thanks.
Awesome shirt
I appreciate your shirt.
Get lucky is tricky. I think there are 2 guitars and one is playing upper structure chords. I think one of his secrets is recording direct with tons of compression, but with a relatively light touch (le freak)
Great again 😎
Bad brains. Banned in DC is a stroke of genius 🤘also love Nile Rodgers. Seen him a live 3 times and the man puts on a show
Thanks, Rodgers is one of the best at this and it's good to showcase him. Another one of my favorite riffs by him is on Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out". But I have to respectfully disagree on Get Lucky. To my ears, for each measure, starting on the 3rd 16th note of beat 1, it fundamentally goes like this: ==/==/==/==/==/= (with variations). Of course, there's a second guitar playing sparsely placed single lines, as well, sort of similar to how James Brown might do it. It's a great groove, played it on many a gig when it was new. What I recall most about it, though, was how tricky it was playing that part while singing the chorus as well.
WOW!!!!!- YOU GOT IT!!!! SOUNDS JUST LIKE IT !!! GOOD JOB 🙋🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👌👌🙏🙏🙏Thanks for Sharing💓💕💖💞💘Yaaaaaaa💘
Great lesson, thanks! I've tended to use a compressor for a bit of extra spank when trying for these tones.
Yes, compression definitely helps with funk. I did actually add some in the computer when I was mixing the audio.
@@acpg what settings would you recommend me for the compressor? I have a BOSS CS-3 (with Attack and Sustain controls)
I think with this setup it’s wasn’t needed back then. Tube amp even at low volume and clean settings, does compress the signal somewhat. DI was done with analogue mixing consoles, which also had some compression, especially if gain was upped on them. With a weak guitar signal, the inputs probably were hot on the mixer. And then blending 50/50 on an analogue mixer You would get some compression on the peaks. But with DAW or solid state amp, I would add compressor or channel strip emulator. With live setup - stomp box compressor to emulate this.
