In this video, Adam breaks down The Funk Formula—a step-by-step method for crafting killer funk grooves on the keys. Drawing from years of experience playing in funk bands, Adam walks you through the essential elements of funk piano, from rhythmic comping to groove-building techniques.

You'll learn how to create grooves that feel authentic—just like the great funk players, from Herbie Hancock to Stevie Wonder and beyond. By the end, you'll have the tools to lock into a groove, jam with confidence, and bring real funk energy to your playing!

Note: In the right-hand riff section, Adam plays a slightly different rhythm in the breakdown compared to the full playthrough.
