David Snyder's recent dive into Funk inspired me to dredge up a little Funk Fun:

BIAB Band

- Drums moderate funk 16ths
- Guitar #3251 baritone electric

Captain Moto
Guitar #1 Strat
Guitar #2 tele
Vocals Captain Moto

How it makes you smile:

Well, that was different!

Video was fun, and I love that funky rhythm guitar. Nice tasty lead fills happening there too.

Good stuff, Captain!

Thanks David,
Probably no surprise, I was big fan of Motown as a teenager and I did pretty decent James Brown impersonation (those where the days when I could dance) Ha Ha.
As far as BIAB:
I usually use BIAB for drums and bass, that's what's on here.
I think the percussive guitar with a wah pedal is what gives it that 60's vibe.
Some fast rhythm strumming and compression helped get the percussive funk guitar sound.

Thanks for listening.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Git ta uppa.... Git on down....

Nice funk groove. I was waiting for a smoking funky guitar solo to bust loose the funk

You have a good funk groove jam sitting there.

I may have to get my funk groove on and explore the Bootsy side of things....

I enjoyed your tune.

James Brown meets John Lee Hooker!

The two BiaB tracks definitely nailed that vibe.
