What a track this is! The combination of Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk and Nile Rogers is pretty spectacular! Thomas will be taking you through those main chord shapes in the song and combine it with how to do that cool 16th note strumming.

Chords: Smaller Barre Chords

As Thomas mentions in the tutorial, to get that authentic disco funk sound you need to take your barre chord shapes and just reduce them to a smaller version. Just use 3 or 4 string chords basically. Thomas walks through a variety of ways to play the chords, but here are the most common (Watch the video to the end to see a few other ways to play these chords!)

The rhythm 16th note counting

The most important part of this song is the rhythm. We need to be able to follow a 16th note strumming pattern to do this, which means you need to take this very slowly, just as Thomas does in the video. Here is the pattern: (remember that you can alter the pattern as you like as you get into the track... Get this learnt first though!)
