…making better bass players with Kris Rodgers A.K.A Dmanlamius
Music recommendation: Funk
12Oct2008 Filed under: Music recommendation Author: KrisOk, here is my funk playlist! Yea! Umm, I couldn’t get ALL the songs I wanted to on here, because they weren’t available. This is a good list to get you started, anyhow…
Listen to the severe lack of slap and pop in these songs, and learn that although slap and pop is closely linked to Funk, it is barely used.
Listen to how the bass lines are so tight with the drums on these songs. Feel the grooves, and understand how soulful it all is.
Especially listen to Prestia’s playing on the tower of power bass lines. Listen to his fingerwork, and how quick and tight it is.
Feel the funk! Turn it up!
Some singles of the above:
