Oh, for the guitar folks I wanted to ask about getting a good tone? Sounds to me like it’s echo and chorus that get used a lot, what do you think?

I’ll take my funk straight from the tap, courtesy of James Jamerson, Uriel Jones, Pistol Allen, Earl Van Dyke, and all the rest of those fantastic guys who played on more #1 records than the Beatles, Beach Boys, Stones, and Elvis combined...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCTBUTd2-0w

This fella sounds like James Brown, and I couldn’t find the one from Florida Funk Bobby Williams and his Mar Kings; “All The Time” but here’s a new one for me;

Tens of millions of young Brasilians are absolutely fanatical about their Miami Funk as it’s the major library for sampling, Funk carioca is the only direct ‘descendant’ of the Miami funk sound other than the Deep South funk and ATL/Miami rap scene.

The sound and lyrics are not the cup of tea for most freepers, but growing up in a musical household that was big into the MIami funk sound, I love hearing someone under 40 remixing those bass lines...

I believe it's illegal in 37 states to have a thread about funk without mentioning Parliament/Funkadelic.

Here's one of the funkiest P-funk tracks ever recorded:

"The Freeze" Parliament

[Son House]

This one rocks on all levels!

The Herbalizer mix of TL&SN is excellent, too

In my view, some of the best funk of that era came from none other than Miles Davis. It is mind-blowingly beautiful, and intellectually challenging, music
