If you wanna learn funk guitar and are new to the style, you gotta go old school, and David Williams is one of the giants of funk guitar. Just listen to his incredible work on Michael Jackson's songs and that's enough to make you realise how amazing he was. The parts he made up and played, where he put them in the mix with rest of the band, and his brilliant execution are all so masterful. He never overplayed and always served the groove and song.
David Williams was an absolute genius of guitar. His licks on "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Starting Something" will be imitated and grooved to for generations
Legend. His playing is so minimal but it is the funkiest thing ever!
