Bernard Edwards recordings or instrumental versions of Chic songs

Sign in to disble this ad
I recently discovered Bernard Edwards after reading Guy Pratt's biography. I've always overlooked him because I am not exactly a fan of disco. Does anyone know of any instrumental versions of Chic songs or other recordings that he played on that could be downloaded or purchased? There are a couple of YouTube videos of "Good Times" with little or no vocal track. It sounds great, and you can hear Edwards' playing very clearly. I would love to have a whole album of him playing all his classic riffs without the singers. It would be great fun to play along with or just to casually listen to. I know there are ways to rip music off of YouTube, but I'd rather have a recording with better sound quality. Any suggestions? Good times.

If you haven't tried programs like Best Practice, you might want to check them out. You can make your own versions of pretty much any song and eliminate the top end and emphasize the low end to your liking in addition to slowing the tune down for learning/study purposes.
