Cordova by The Meters looks simple until you try the fingering. In this one I break down why the 1-2-4 pattern trips people up, the route-five-flat-seven line underneath it, and a floating thumb technique for clean muting on the way up and down the neck. Day 11 of the New Orleans funk deep dive over at Groove School.
