Looking forward to hearing this, my work firewall won't let it in. |

I really liked your groove though. |

| | | now the trick is going to be getting my guitarist to play like that..  itll never happen.
i cant get anyone to funk with me, at best me and the drummer will be getting nasty, while the guitarist just solos over it..and doesent play like the demo i made..wich is why i made the demo, to show him what kind of thing to do.
if it works and i get a decent take of it i'll post and see if i can get anyone to spontaneously dance, and/or speak in toungues, wich would be stupid funky..

Nice groove.... Were you one of my students, I'd tell you work on 'hanging back' a bit on the notes. Just a touch farther back on the notes and maybe a few more spaces (I'm a big fan of spaces between notes) |

But I'll give you the extra 1.5 for the full 10 because the first time I listened I starting jamming along with it without even realizing it. (that's right I surf talkbass with my bass in my lap) |
