75% of Bluesfunk band coming on nicely. So bass drums and new vox are working pretty well. However, our guitar player has terrible trouble a) not playing all the time b) not doing out-of-rhythm unimaginative blues noodles when we're doing funky syncopated stuff. He just gets his head down and neither listens to or watches the rest of us... And despite months of suggesting stuff for him to play along to he rarely bothers. Seems obsessed with finding some sort of magical Funk Formula - I've sent him Bootsy's one but he appears to have missed the point entirely, that you've got to feel it and if you don't, you won't funk!
And being in the middle of nowhere means not many guitarists available, plus he's a bit vulnerable...
