Both my band do let's stick together, totally differently,  but it's a storming riff to hammer out.

 

Should add it's guaranteed dancing!

I played it in a band 5 or 6 yrs ago and it was a good song to play.

Prestia is a monster 

With most of these old funk players as I’ve found, they have it inside them.
They probably never played it the same twice live. 
Just jump in, get the vibe, basics and let the fingers go wild 😄

I watched this yesterday, went back to the 'Shadows of Motown' score, and my jaw dropped, particularly with the bridge section.  what an astonishing phenomenon Jamerson was, and Julia Hofer is a pretty understated player that covers some great tunes too.

God save the Queen (no, not the Pistols version).

We have a street party to play on the 4th and thought it would be cool to play the national anthem. Hopefully it will be a good sing along, although not a floor filler 😁

Full orchestral presets (inc Timps) sound very grand on this one.

YMCA. 

 

To get the gallop rhythm in the chorus, I have had to learn a completely different approach to playing bass - using my thumb and two fingers, and not just two fingers.   

 

 

I am struggling with the octave chromatic runs too. I don't yet have the dexterity to fit them all in where they should be.

 

And look - 6 flats! 

 

So, this is a challenging piece for me, but terrific fun.

I would suspect that as he posted that 2.5 years ago, he has either done it or given up :)

 

 

I've been 'learning' 'Misty' for over forty years, now, so thirty months seems credible..! -_-

Had the old smoothie out and loving it. 
Keeping in spirit with Musicman I thought I’d learn a few chic tracks as I’ve always overlooked them. 
Some good fun to be had there, especially liked this one
