In 1993 Bangalter presented a demo of Daft Punk material to Stuart Macmillan of Slam that led to their first single "The New Wave".

Bangalter felt that "It was still maybe more a teenage thing at that time. They discovered their mutual fascination with films and music of the 1960s and 1970s, "very basic cult teenager things, from Easy Rider to the Velvet Underground."

So grab your guitar and enjoy playing those fast-paced, funky rhythms. Combining the funky technique with other songs and genres is also great to add some spice and keep things interesting. When you master some of these songs, you will better understand the genre in general and progress pretty fast with the rest of the tunes. You can play the same note, but with nuances on the rhythm, dynamics, and percussive techniques, you can make the same chord sound amazingly different. It is all about the feeling and the lively grooves. 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.įunk is a great style where strumming and the percussive feeling get more important than the notes played. It is a pretty easy song with a basic riff followed by funk chords and simple lead guitar fills. Another hit by the American funk band The Meters is Look-Ka Py Py which is the opening song of their same-titled album.
