A step‑by‑step practice session for playing right‑hand funk riffs using syncopation and hemiolas over an F minor progression.

Work through progressive exercises that develop 16th‑note grid precision, ghost‑note control, and hemiola placement across an entire groove. The lesson breaks riffs into A/B/C sections—two‑note patterns with octave ghost notes, broken‑chord outlines, and scale‑based lines—and provides targeted variations and metronome strategies to build accuracy. Looping exercises and tempo progressions help you internalize tricky three‑note hemiolas and hear the top‑line riff while maintaining the pocket. Includes demo backing tracks and a PDF with notation and examples.
