Here I show you a few licks plus discuss the concept of 'the one'.
Playing off from the downbeat is the key to funk jams!

funk don't care about race creed or color.... the best thing ive heard in a while thank you
Phenomenal funk. I'm still kind of in awe that Matt friggin Johnson from Jamiroquai is teaching me to play keys. It's like I hit the funk lottery. You might be a white cat from England bro, but so was Alan Hawkshaw and he blows my mind on the reg, just like you. Much love homie.
legit
Word
❤
Exactly my thoughts!
Alan Hawkshaw, Rod Temperton… the list of British white funk lovecats just goes on and on like a rolling stone!
Great message at the beginning about the funk. This is someone who truly knows what the funk and music is all about. Cheers Matt
I agree!
if the white guy from england teaching me funk is matt johnson from jamiroquai then i'm listening no questions asked
There are levels to this shi
Those tracksuit stripes are there to simply transfer that high energy FUNK to the fingers. I’ve experimented too much, got to a five stripe from JD Sports trash bin and singed my nails off. You’ve been warned.
You are the shining nova for us synth nerds and keyboard enthusiasts
As a bass player I can confirm this made me even more funky. 🙂
Matt’s comment about “emphasizing the one by not playing it” was an epiphany and mirrored a tutorial I saw by Carol Kaye where she used a metronome but slowed it down to half speed and practiced to it with the “click” on the two and four” instead of 1,2,3,4 and it forced you to groove with it better. Mind blown
This dude is a bad ass player...his left hand is a killer😮
So selfless and valuable of you to do all this Matt! And a huge inspiration for me to practice, too. Thank you.
That screen keyboard overlay is sharp! Wow! 😸 ~7
Does anyone know how to add that overlay to videos?
The overlay is very helpful. When I asked about it a while back, folks clowned me. I'm glad Matt added it.
@@freda9498 Matkat Chordie - and your favourite video editor!
@@freda9498 i know bro

It’s the Bootsie Collins Basic Funk Formula, but on keys...all good stuff!
What I love here is how much fun you're having. That's the soul of it.
It's nice to see the Adic Jazz / Funk heroes of the 90s and 2000s emerge again. Bluey has his own radio show at Apple Music (Groove Velocity) and you, Matt, with these videos. I just love it.
yes,incognito
@@lanmichaelmix2818 yeah. I'm waiting for the people from Galliano and Brand New Heavies to appear as well :-)
Best player in uk for me I don't care what anyone say you are a brilliant player 🎼🎶🎹
Thanks for slowing it down a bit. As soon as you start playing it makes me smile.
One thing that would make this even better is referring to keys and chords by their SCALE DEGREE as well as their name. I know it's not to hard to work out what's what, but like adding the overlay, it makes it easier to figure out whats going on immediately rather than pausing and trying to figure out where your hands are.
Need some help with this...I’m guessing he’s in F major for the first riff, but I can’t figure out why he keeps saying it’s 1 chord, seems like it’s 2 chords
Matt that keyboard overlay is a brilliant help to us trying to learn. Many thanks.
Matt you are the damn man!! Thank you for your damn infectious funkiness and astute pinpoint notion to stall out the noodling proclivity that can run away within us all and utterly KILL the groove. You made it cool to crop out the cook that might otherwise ruin our recipe for popping fresh f0nk!! You are a great teacher and really fun to learn from. THANK YOU GOOD SIR!
The alchemy of something which appears so simple yet unlocks so much depth of possibility...simple map to a rabbit hole of funk goodness
I bought the tutorial from his web site and have been working on it constantly for over a week. I just now have it up to 120 bpm. It’s very demanding (for me) chop wise, but the benefits of mastering it will improve your funk and overall playing. I’ll keep hammering it and expand it. I highly recommend buying the video because it contains a lot more information and Matt demonstrating than the CZcams video.
Is it a download?
@@anthonydanzy6605 Yes, from his website.
Gotcha 🤘🏾
I got caught off guard at 13:39, oh my goodness that was soo smooth
greeting from an Egyptian musician ... am really learning from you, ty Matt
Great video, couldn't agree more you must to go back to the true source. So all the original pioneers of funk. James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, George Clinton/Parliament-Funkadelic, Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Ohio Players, Johnny "guitar" Watson, Brothers Johnson, Rufus with Chaka Khan, The Gap Band, EW&F, Curtis Mayfield and on and on and on. I'm leaving a ton of people out.
Damn, I started trying to learn to play around 20 years ago and went nowhere... now Ive progressed more in a few ultra cool videos than during many years. Dude you are the best.
The past year has been monumental for my growth as a musician and writer. Matt has been a big part of that.
I have added considerably to my skills from checking out your tutorials/ really appreciate it hugely!
There´s nothing more to say than - "play that funky music white boy" 😎👍
I like the stories and your funk!
Can remember when Jamiroquai was running all the time, when we played pool a lot, in the 90s
Groovie baby 😎
This is the kind of content I have absolutely no intention to even try to repeat after, but still absolutely love watching. Big up from Finland, you're rocking it!
Never ever i will can play keyboards like that, not near of this... but I enjoyed the middle of my life with yous music, yesterday, today, and forever 😂
Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing!
As always, excellent. Thank you!
so great , thanks!!
High quality content as usual. Thanks matt!!
Another fantastic one, love it.
I had a pretty in depth discussion with my dad recently about culture turning against tradition, and divisive, degenerate type figures being pushed in music. I dont know if popular musicians accentuate their degenerate traits to build a character that is more interesting for the cameras, or they are actually like this. It's refreshing to see Matt, a literal legend of the funk world who's down to earth, knowledgeable and happy to share his knowledge. Thanks Matt, I hope I can see you live one day.
"We can all get down with our bad selves" hahahahaha I love it! You're a great teacher man, I love the energy you bring
Thanks Matt! This was right up my alley.
thanks matt, you channel its awesome!!!
Wonderful!
I remember sitting in a college orchestra rehearsal as an oboist rehearsing the first movement of Dvorak 8. There is a beautiful swell toward the end of the development that just overwhelmed me emotionally to be a part of. I thought to myself "I'm sitting inside this."
I just came here to learn how to get down with my bad self.
loving it
Loved this vid ⚡⚡
The nicest man in Pop? If he's not doing it already he'd be a fantastic teacher - his effortless knowledge of funk and its technical secrets needs to be passed on to the next generation!
Great playing and teaching, MJ!
Nice to see you having so much fun.
Keep them coming!!!!
Wow tremendous video. It’s the second I see from you. Beside a hood musician, great teacher. I subscribed to your channel. It’s a blessing. From Tampa Florida USA

Thanks for doing this.
man makes it look easy. ive been fighting with my fingers all day
This looks fantastic! Thank you so much, Matt! You’re a treasure!
Those pitch bend wiggles are the thing though ❤️
I'm predominantly a guitarist with pretty minimal theory but a decent enough ear, and jamming along with these videos and getting little shout outs for the chord changes and various intervals is really helping me put sounds to the numbers. Thanks, @Matt
FANTASTIC i am so so happy to learn this
Thanks, Matt. Great stuff as always. The keyboard overlay is a very helpful addition.
Great lesson Matt.
Your videos are like a blessing, thank you
This video never gets old !❤
I loved this. Every bit! 25 years removed from my last funk band gig and you made me fall in love with it again. More please! I've been a fan of the band since Emergency on Planet earth and I actually own every CD!
Cool merci ! Impeccable dynamic harmony
Loved this. So enjoyable…
Wow. What an awesome funk video. Thanks doc.
That groove at the end was nice!
I just love this channel Matt - always look forward to learning a bit more about putting some real mojo into your playing and really developing some style. Thank you!
You're just simply one of the most fantastic people with a great vibe on CZcams. I really appreciate you and the videos that you share. There are a lot of talented musicians on CZcams but a very small percentage with your kind of combination vibe and energy. Sending you great vibes and awesome energy for me here in California US💪🏼👍🏼✌🏼
You are the boss....I love your stuff
This is so much fun to play - it has groove for weeks! Thanks Matt for another great lesson!
Had a lot of fun watching this video. You are the best!! And the sweet smooth-jazz-funk parts are amazing.
cheers matt！love
thnx mister! just discovered your channel and i love it! Have a nice day.
Thanks so much for this wicked music lesson.
Being a 90's kid Jamiroquai was one of my favorites growing up. I have always loved funky music. Matt you are the Jamiroquai sound. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Awesome!
That jam session at the end when you introduced the chords was soooo groovy and blissful
