@ms.lovelace5049 I am 73 and I remember those days! Our lil' group practiced in the garage, in each other's basements and jammed after school talent shows/parties and thought we were the $hit and back then in the 60's we were!!! Good ole days.....
@@MaestroBass Keep it coming, nothing beats the FUNK! And if I could make a request? Could you do a version of "LET'S WORK" by PRINCE? Keep up the good work!
@@poraradi1919 You can learn by listening and playing! There is so much FUNK out there! Even in JAZZ especially in the SWING and JUMP BLUES subgenres! You have to willingly become student! Just like SLY STONE and GEORGE CLINTON did after JAMES BROWN created the #1! THEY BECAME OBSESSED! You young guys can do it! I have faith in You! We have to keep it alive because its the one genre we created OUTSIDERS didn't succeed in ripping off!
@@MaestroBass Kool. In your future videos if you could show your technique or style with your thumb or fingers that would be appreciated my brotha, I'm personally tryna learn new techniques. Shalam
@jimmieanderson3574 lol that made me laugh because I can honestly think of times I've seen other musicians smiling as they are going in and this is definitely true. That smile is code for "locked in" 😅
Bro, you the real thing. I miss the day of musicians everywhere. I heard in the UK the young folks are picking up instruments and discovering the classic sounds of Black music. Bro what kind of Ax are you playing? It’s absolutely beautiful. Name that baby.
@WarrenWortham I appreciate the positive feedback 🙏🏽. As for the bass, It's a custom Taíno bass. And yes, I do need to name her, I'm thinking Harmony with how she sings and accompanies the music so well lol
@Sky-jm4yf You hit the nail on the head about funk being a feel. I've been taught and now teach, "You can play all the right notes, but if the feel is off everything you're doing is all for nothing"
Pure FUNK. Impressive. Larry Blackmon Approved 😅. I always loved the gorilla sounds. Cameo was my favorite group as a kid. Thank you. Nice bass, I've never seen that cut on your bass before
@cbanks7840 Thank you, and yes, it's a 1 of 1 custom Taíno bass made from a luthier out of Texas. You can look him up at Taíno Basses on Facebook. He has a few of his builds posted there
I was in HS or maybe Jr High in LA when this joint hit. My best friend zack (may he rest in peace) from Chi and he would pop-lock all night in his living room to this.
What Up Funk Kay!! Dude, coming from an “O.G. Funk Overlord” who was there when this piece of Funk Thump History was made.. Yo Ass Is Groovin’!! You look a lil young there tho G to be that Funky!!🤟🏽Keep kickin’! You just got a new Subscriber!! Peace ✌️

LOVED IT..!!!!
REMINDS ME OF THE OLD DAYS..!!!
OUR YOUNG GROUPS ALL PLAYED THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS..🎸
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING..!!! 👊🏽
@ms.lovelace5049 Yeah I hear some of these cuts and wish I was a teen in the 70s/80s to be apart of some of this musical history
@@MaestroBass
That’s Alright..!
Because You Can Still Listen, Play Ur Instrument, and Bring The Music Back To The Current..!
