How to play Uptown Funk guitar lesson

So it is everywhere now, so I though I would give you a 'how to play Uptown Funk guitar lesson' by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. There is certainly a lot to like in this song and it really seems to hark back to the funk tracks of the 80's by people like Prince, Cameo and I would say one of the guitar lines is almost a direct rip of the style of David Williams playing on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller albums. The guitar parts are actually quite spare, and like the best of pop production the whole thing is spares lines interplaying with one another to give a massive sound, right out of the Quincy Jones school of production.I think Uptown Funk works best f you take the parts and make them your own, adding you own little twists on to the lines here. I also think that it makes an excellent tune to do a loop too, I will have a go at this an post the result!!Here is the lesson....and here is the tabUptown Funk Tab Uptown Funk - Guitar TabEnjoyPeaceNeil
