Sweet DW!

Really grooving.

As far as "bringing the funk" is concerned, is to comcentrate entirely on your drummer. Make sure you've practiced the grooves in your own time to get your fingers to manage it ok, and so that you're confident playing it.

As soon as you play with your band, concentrate 100% on what your drummer plays, and instruct him to do the same with you. It'll groove sooo much nicer as everything you play will be based on your drummers feel. They'll grow off what you play and vice versa and it just gets better and better.

Good luck

+ and thank you...I was this far down in the thread thinking I might have to point this out. Even in the days of this video my peers and I would have considered this fellow a wanker. You want to learn to bring the funk go first learn from a master...PFunks a good start.
