Hi
For some inspiration. Smooth funky jazz style
I make the backing track in BB and then edit it in Real Track
I tried to figure out Cubase, but did I miss BB and Realtrack?
Yes . Realtrack is growing on me as I learn from great tips in the forum.
STYLE MEMO:
I muted the Wah +damping/plucking funk guitars on this one even though they are really great.
Here are the memo:
Style is _JAZFUNK.STY (Jazz Funk Groovin')
RealTracks in style: ~1433:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkGroovin Ev16 110
RealTracks in style: ~1437:Piano, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkGroovin Ev16 110
RealTracks in style: ~1435:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkGroovinChords Ev16 110
RealTracks in style: ~1436:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkGroovinMute Ev16 110
RealDrums in style: JazzFunkGroovin^1-a:HHSdStk, b:HHSnr

Thanks BlueAttitude
Yes thats just in the style of LC.
I like what he do. Melodic and bluesy at the same time + using a bit extended harmony as well
I have one more original tune in that style with backing track up on my YT channel. I´ll post that in a week or 2.
Cheers Uffe
