Thunderthumbs Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Marcus.....as one comment says...."he doesn't just work the pocket...he IS the pocket". Funny when the guy says he can't believe he's telling Marcus how to play the bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeatNut Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Alain Caron getting funky -- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5uin7Clzs4&feature=related"]Turkey Loose On The Kit[/url] This is the only bit of slap I've seen that makes me think, actually, I might want to learn how to do that ... most slap stuff I hear turns me off completely and instantly, no groove (or not a groove that appeals to me) ... but this has groove in spades.

I was trying to add my slant on funk/groove to this collection ... adding back something in return for the things I've got out of the thread.

HMX Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Not sure if it chimes with everyone else's definition of groove, but this does it for me. Particularly from 2:11 - really locking in. Sounds familiar too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaypup Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Such a shame that a large chunk of the videos have been removed by youtube - could you please post the Artist/track title alongside the title so at least if they are removed we can still look them up! Anyway - here's one of my favourites. Gwen McRae - All this love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaypup Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Any Meters track has groove aplenty, but right now I'm seriously digging Hey Pocky A-Way And Sly Stone's 'In Time' is crazily simple AND complex at the same time - love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
