I've been playing guitar for about 10 years and lately I've been obsessed with funk rhythms along the lines of sly and the family stone. I've started playing these styles of bass lines on my guitar...but obviously it's just not the same. Due to my newfound infatuation with bass grooves I'm about to purchase my first bass.
I plan on taking a few lessons to help me get my technique sorted out...but as I am a nocturnal college student I have a ton of free time to devote to the instrument. Basically, I'd like you guys to point me in the direction of internet resources for learning funk grooves/hip hop bass styles and techniques. Additionally, any especially helpful dvd's or books that I should try to get my hands on will help.
Thanks in advance
