Funk attempt

[Mjark]

Have at it if you wish. Les Paul, soft synth drums and keys and my new dirt cheap Indio P Bass copy.

Thanks for the track.

Hey @Mjark that is a great track!! Nice job!

hope I did it justice! a small nod to Lenny Kravitz at the beginning.

 

[Mjark]

Thanks for the track. Thanks for playing along. Nice lines all the way though.

hope I did it justice! - You did. Nice mix too. Loved the opening.

 

[Mjark]

Thanks for the inspiration. Here's my first thoughts. Not deep thoughts....

 

[NWinther]

Thanks for the track

 

[G-52]

Nicely done Mark, thanks!

Nice track! I am afraid I made it more psychedelic than funk. Starcaster bridge through a Twin sim. I played around a bit with panning.

Nice one Mjark, you apppear to have a wide taste in music like me.

Man, great tone!!! and playing!

 

[bullfrogblues]

@Mjark , while I'm asking questions all over today, could you relate your recording technique?
That guitar sounds huge!
I'm still experimenting with all my recordings and don't particularly care for most of my tones.
Thanks!

 

[Mjark]

Thanks for the track - Cool bendy stuff!

Nicely done Mark, thanks! - cool laid back playing and nice lines on the turn around.

I am afraid I made it more psychedelic than funk - Everything is subject to interpretation. Well done!

I've been using a Spark Positive Grid amp for the last year. I don't use the way it was intended because I don't have enough USB ports. I go out from the headphone jack into R/L inputs on a Behringer UMC202 HD then into Cakewalk. Mic's and amplifiers are way too much trouble these days unless I'm paying someone else to do it. There's some post reverb added. I never use reverb when I play live but almost always have to have it when doing these.

 

[bullfrogblues]

I've never tried one of those amps. I use my Flyrig RK5 a lot. I'm also experimenting micing my Kane Overdrive with some decent results, Senn E609 into Garageband. Done a few tracks with my Bogner Shiva.
Your guitar tones always sound great!

 

[Alan L Cole]

Don't know the song but that is a very cool backer Mark. The new bass sounds great - thank you:

 

[Flip G]

How can you be so white and be so funky?!?

 

[Mjark]

Don't know the song - No one knew it until Friday! It's just something I made up. Nice take!

@Mjark - For some reason, when you quote someone, I see the quote, but I don't see any comments from you. It seems to me that you are probably trying to tell us something. That has happened with all of your quotes in this thread. Perhaps you are being very Zen. What is the sound of one hand quoting, and all that.

Odd I can see what I wrote. Can you see this?

Nice track Mark, love the bass playing. I've tried but I'm can't seem to figure out the turnaround sonically.
