Demo: Me playing FUNK!

Here's me playing some "FUNK"! This is a short demo (just under 2 minutes) of me playing funk (this is my style of music here baby!)

I recorded a simple backing track, and then solo'd "live" switching between various instruments. The timing isn't perfect, but what the hell, it gets your ass movin

It's MP-3 so the quality isn't top, but boy I tell I couldn't sit still while playing this tune.

Bring on the G-Funk!

Enjoy

Listen to this tune and then picture me cruising down the street in my Lincoln Town Car! Yeah Baby!

Hey squeak_D

Now that was one funk beat if I ever heard one. Good job. I enjoyed your licks. What instrument did you use.

Glad you liked it That demo was just me screwing around improving. Hell I don't know if I'm playing the right notes half the time

If the hair on the back of my neck stands up, and I find that my butt dances (right out of my chair) while I'm playing, I must be doing something right

I just used a simple Roland RS-70. Didn't do any major edits, just on a whim I pulled that one out of my back side.

Fun Stuff

Well played. The Roland sounds great. Very Live feel to it.
And yes, it does get your ass moving..

Thanks for sharing

WOW!!!!! Bring On SHAFT & The GAP BAND!!!! Squeak "YOU DROPPED a BOMB ON ME".....
Great Stuff, Kickin Groove....I really enjoyed it.....keep em comin!!

Thanks for listening folks This was a really fun song to play. I tried to give it a "live" feel, by not using quantizing

I decided to leave out the classic (wah guitar) that pretty much defines a funk piece. I wanted to see if I can still get it to sound like funk without that guitar.

squeak ... great groove ... I was thinking 'Tower of Power' ...

Nice groove. Good white funk, but where's the organ and clav? Gotta hear more.

One chord grooves are ok for a while but it was crying out for a chord change towards the end...keybaord sounds great though...

That's just what it was "a groove". Grooves are fun to create Just let them play, and solo your butt off. I'll end up putting chord changes in it. I just sat down at the keyboard, pressed record and went from there. That's why it's less than 2 minutes, and ended by fading out from the grooves orignial start point.

Excellent Squeak. Really like the drumming.

Well done. What board?

Roland RS-70. I originally bought it as my "scratch pad" synth because the price was so good, but shortly realized this little beast can do some pretty serious stuff, and the sounds (after tweeking to my personal liking) turned out to be really good. Plus it even came with free voice editor software designed for the RS-70. It's a cool little synth, and I only paid $630 for it.

You get the most out of an inexpensive keyboard...

Fine job.

Hi Squeak.
Great tune. Funk is "my kind of music" (arrangerkeyboards don't have enough funkstyles, don't you think?). Somewhere in the thread someone mentioned an organ and clavinet, so I thought "why not fill-in the GAPS". Here's the link if you want to hear what I came up with accomp. your piece. I recorded it "live", and edited it by hand where I was a bit too far off in my timing -esp. the clavinet is a tricky thing. I didn't get it right all the time. Oh yeah there is a bariton as well. http://www.hercodeboer.nl/mp3/FUNK_fill.mp3

Very Nice! Yeah arrangers DON'T have enough funk styles. Great additions to it. It's always fun to have someone else take a wing at it

Squeak

Oh yeah baby NICE JOB.......so many great syncopation going on at once I was moving baby! maybe this is a trend....I would love to hear Scott Yee try his hand at a funk tune too !!

Thanx for sharing

Funk On!
