Eric Benet Still With You Piano Sheet Pdf ##BEST##

The tune is easy to play with double stops and single-note repetitive fills. As in many funk tunes, it is not about the note or chord sheet but about the spirit and the style of playing that makes it a real funk tune.
It is an easy song to play with triad chords and mutes in between. The guitar partitions are pretty straightforward on the tab sheet, but you will have to show your percussive skills on the fretboard to make it enjoyable.
Released in 1991, If You Have To Ask is the funk-rock hit by the famous American band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song features a scratchy, minimalist funk lick played on the guitar, with a busier bass melody playing behind it, creating a great contrast.
Another hit by the American funk band The Meters is Look-Ka Py Py which is the opening song of their same-titled album. It is a pretty easy song with a basic riff followed by funk chords and simple lead guitar fills. If you get a hard time with the chord shapes, you can use your thumb to press the frets on the 5th or 6th strings.
