OK, here is DA FUNK! If you haven't heard this song, the original by James Brown, go and find it, put it on the CD player, let it ride a few thousand times, get up, get into it, get involved.

Here's the lesson in three different versions, Basic, Intermediate, and Original Recipe. It's a baaaaaaaad groove!

The groove is in 4/4 or Common Time.
