ChSwho?

thanks for all your help .... its really helped to clear up my mind and help me to see what Ive been doin....which is mainly overthinking trying to progress in my abilities to quickly.

hey thanks for the reply ... after checking out your stuff as well I can see you dont struggle so much with this .. ah ha Ill try and incorporate that into my practice.... So its just a practice thing I guess? To equally play along with the drum kit and to push the melody of the song.... I have things in my head Im trying to get but Im having trouble getting them ....

So when I play over a funky drum beat I can get funky ... where Im having trouble right now is that Im struggleing to keep a solid funk when I play over changes. Does that make sense? I was wonder how any of you might approach playing a deep funk over changes. Like, what is the ground floor of thoughts that your thinking about when you both play through changes and still remain sunk into the groove? Is there a basic motif you use that you then develop off of? Im trying to marry a hard gut groove and still being attentive enough to also progress with the song. any tips? thanks.
