Yeah baby! I guess I'd have no excuse for not entering this challenge. I've never done any funk but I've been meaning to for long enough that I'm going all guns blazing on this one! ?

Woohoo!

Now everyone has to ask the timeless question, What would bootsy Collins do? *

Haha! Damn straight! ?

Well, here's what Bootsy would do:

Here's me trying to get my Funk on, whatever that is! {And no I'm not playing thru the Marshall.} I'll probably miss the mark by a hundred miles, but hey, at least there will be an entry, yea? ?

Looking forward to hearing it.

Here's some more inspiration if anybody needs some; one of the Nobel Funk Off tunes:

And, what might well be the greatest and most quintessential funk tune ever, again featuring his high excellency Bootsy Collins, Parliament Funkadelic with Give Up The Funk.

Hmmm... tasty challenge

Yes. Good topic. I will be entering this one and I've already got some of my drum track done and a good idea what I'm going to do.

Can't wait!!

Shize. Just found out the dude that assists me with my recordings is out of action for a while, so wont be attending this one. Perhaps my ambitions in jumping from rythmic metal six string to slapping funky four string gonna just have to wait. :-[

No, you should be entering the challenge, that's what you should be doing.

It's quite simple, ask yourself the question "What would Bootsy do?". Bootsy would submit and entry for this challenge. Well, I suspect he would descend from the mothership, tear off the roof and slap down a motherfunkbomb on our arses. But let that be inspiration for y'all to get your entries in.

I just finished mine last night and I had barrels of fun. I've never tried funk before but this was just too much fun for one night. Pity I don't have a wah pedal as I can imagine that would have added some nice zest to the tune.

So, how are the rest of yous doing? Here are some more vids to get your creative juices flowing.

Play that funky music!

Or something from the architect of funk himself, the honourable Mr. James Brown.

And here's a video of a Korean chick jamming some funk over a backtrack. She is flippin' awesome. Makes me wanna go back and redo my song entirely.

Please don't. I have my suspicions that's why no-one entered the last comp. ?

I've got a Stevie Wonder triplet thing groove going with the guitar synth (guitar, clavi and Hammond) as well as a good funky shuffle rhythm section. Now I just have to figure out how to add some interest.

How about, those who enter are exempt, and we draw a name out of those who dont and send them the mug. "Thanks for not entering, have a mug. Happy birthday Claire"

my entry is a bit more prono than I'd like. Its super fun though. like. Thuper...

Stevie Wonder's song, "I wish" is just awesome. That bassline..

Excellent plan!

My track is complete!

Its the love child between Bootsy and Jamiroquai. Had sooo much fun with this one.

I can't wait!

So, Adrian-san, we meet again ? Or shall I say... FruitarGeek... Let the battle commence. ?

Dude, I can't wait! Its always the most fun hearing your guys tracks. I havn't participated in a while, but I sensed the time is right 8)

So how's it going peeps? Four days to go. Get those entries in.

Drums, bass and keys/guitar synth down. Just the electric guitar bits to figure out and do.
