iconic Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 although I've not seen it, I guess this has most likely been posted as many times as our Korean 'cos-play' friend's drinking his milk, but does anyone know where this vid' came from originally?...did Bootsy do a 'how to' VHS video back in the day or something.? I never tire of watching how this guy can put soooo much funk in a D and a D octave [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Well spotted RoRi... I was just thinking about 'Rockschool' today. Very BBC. Deirdre Cartwright, Thomas 'King Thumb' somebody and a drummer. Highlight for me was Allan Holdsworth in series II. And Gary Moore's guitars were uber-noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E sharp Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Bass player was Henry Thomas I think , and the drummer was I think Geoff Nichols . Who I remember used to write a column in the much missed Making Music magazine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 That's what it has always sounded like to me : a formula. I used to play with funk bands who wanted to jam for hours so I had to play a D on the 1 for hours and hours..I found it immensly boring but you could never question that sort of playing because otherwise "you were not funky". Weird that for a music which seemed to be without rules I felt so much pressure to keep it as cliché as it had to be.. There are exceptions naturally but I found a lot of funk stuff sometimes an excuse for being lazy.. don't change the chords, keep it simple, "feel the funk" (?). That way a lot of these cats just disguise that they won't go through the trouble of finding a nice chord change, a great arrangement. But again : don't dare to question them because then you get the curse : "you're just not funky, dude !" It's a matter of taste : I always found this far more funky than anything I heard Bootsy do...
