In funk bands, guitarists usually play in a percussive fashion, utilizing a method of selecting called the "chank" or "rooster scratch", through which the guitar strings are pressed lightly towards the fingerboard after which quickly launched just suf***ient to get a muted "scratching" sound that is produced by fast rhythmic strumming of the opposite hand close to the bridge.
With the "chika" comes a muted sound of strings being hit towards the fingerboard; "chank" is a staccato assault finished by releasing the chord with the fretting hand after strumming it; and "choking" typically makes use of all the strings being strummed and heavily muted.
Earliest examples of that technic used on rhythm and blues is listened on Johnny Otis music "Willie and the Hand Jive" in 1957, with the future James Brown band guitar player Jimmy Nolen. By utilizing two drummers, the JB band was able to keep up a "stable syncopated" rhythmic sound, which contributed to the band's distinctive "Funky Drummer" rhythm.
