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

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

How it makes you smile:
Here's Up Funk

This is REALLY good.

It sounds EXACTLY like him!!!

How did you get that 60s mix so perfect? Are you sure this is band in a box??

Great vox and guitar! The lyrics were a bit wordy for me but I was able to keep up. ; ) Excellent work!

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.

That was cool and awesome. What a production! Everything sounds authentic. Great vocal work. And the video was most enjoyable. Right on, right on, right on!

But now, I'm worried that whatever Mr. Snyder had might be going around the forum...

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.

Hi Cap'n,

Fun, fun, fun, from start to finish.

A great groove and a fabulous video. (How do you get around copyright with those clips?)

Loved it!

James Brown meets John Lee Hooker!

The two BiaB tracks definitely nailed that vibe.

Well done. Funk On!

Oh, my favorite godfather!! I like the Janice & Bud comment putting James Brown & John Lee Hooker together. Man, You did a great job capturing the sound and feel. What an outstanding vocal. Cool video, too.
