Funk Is Not Dead

S= Slap

P= Pluck

ST= Strum

HM= Hand Muting. I do this by, when plucking, using the back of my right hand to mute the

strings so

you hear the note, but only for a short while.

The drums start off the song by playing the tempo and this comes in about 5 seconds into

it. The

tempo is 135 so just plug that into your metronome and go crazy.

The bridge is very interesting because it starts up pretty slow but as the lyrics unravel,

I start to get

faster and by the time the lyrics are done for the bridge, which is about 45 seconds in,

the bass

increases at a fast rate and basically I play it as fast as I possibly can but then, after

about maybe a

minute, the lyrics begin again, the bass riff slowly winds down along with the drums.

Bridge:

G|-----------3-3h5----3-------------5-5h7----5--------------

D|-----5h3----------5---5-----7h5----------7----7-----------

A|----------------------------------------------------------------- Repeat this about

E|--3--------------------------5---------------------------------- five to seven times

B|----------------------------------------------------------------- then do this:

S P P P HM S P P P HM

G|----------------3-3h5----3------------------5-5h7----5----- This is done until

D|----------5h3----------5---5-----------7h5----------7----7- the lyrics stop

A|------------------------------------------------------------------ and at the point

E|--3X3X3------------------------5X5X5----------------------- you do this, getting

B|------------------------------------------------------------------ faster as you go:

S S S P P P HM S S S P P P HM

G|----------------3-3h5-3-------------------5-5h7-5----- Do this for about a

D|-----------5h3-----------5-----------7h5------------7--- minute and then,

A|------------------------------------------------------------- for the final part

E|--3X3X3---------------------5X5X5--------------------- of the bridge, you

B|-------------------------------------------------------------- just do this:

S S S P P P PP S S S P P P P P

G|--------------3-4X5---------------5-6X7----- Do this until you come to a

D|-------5h3--3-4X5--------7h5--5-6X7---- slow stop but the song isn’t

A|------------------------------------------------- ova yet.

E|--3X3-----------------5X5--------------------

B|-------------------------------------------------

Between the bridge and the final chorus/outro, there is a slight pause for everyone

except for the

drummer, in which the drummer hits the top hat about 4 times leading into the chorus/outro

which is

down about 3-4 times before fading out. However, this isn’t the exact same as the original

chorus,

there are some changes near the end.
