Announcement: GuitarControl.com Releases “How to Play the Riff from `Get the Funk Out´ by Extreme - Rhythm Guitar Lesson”.
(PRWEB) June 25, 2014 -- In this rhythm guitar lesson, now available on YouTube.com, Silvio Gazquez teaches how to play the riff from shredder guitarist Nuno Bettencourt’s band Extreme “Get the Funk Out”. Silvio starts off this lesson by performing the riff at tempo with a backing track. Next Gazquez slows the riff down so you can see exactly how it’s played.

The band reached the height of their commercial success in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and classify themselves as funky metal.
