Default I'm learning to play funk and having a blast

So I got myself a new Squier Classic Vibe Strat (purple!) and signed up for 30 days free on Truefire. (I tried their courses years ago but didn't stick with them). I have been so focused on learning songs and playing acoustic but I got in a rut. So, I've gone electric for a bit. I grew up in the late 60's/early 70's in California and was spellbound by soul, r & b, and funk. (Pretty funny for little white girl!). I started a course on Truefire that focuses on funk fundamentals. The lessons are perfect for what I want right now, e.g., bite sized licks and technique that I practice. I'm already getting the left hand muting down and can play some James Brown stuff. Next step is cueing up some JB tracks on Spotify and figuring out the licks. Fun!
