Topic: Me and the Kid

Quick jam session totally unplanned. but I started changing up some Atlanta Rhythm Section  SPOOKY.  and Cory streched himself for as close to a Jazz beat as he can get.  https://soundcloud.com/beamer326/ars-inspired-groove

Beamer Junior great on drums you flow well together.

Re: Me and the Kid

Thanks Peatle. it took a few min to get the groove. I have another take that's a bit slower and a little sloppy so I used this.  I also had some WA WA  on it trying to blend the ARS with some funk, but it didn't really flow very well.

Re: Me and the Kid

Funk is gonna be tough without a bassist.  Lots of rootless voicings like
7
5
5
5
X
X

Is a minor 7 add 9, but you put the 7 on the bottom and let the bass handle the root. 

If you take that chord and slide it down twice then back up twice, with the right strumming pattern you end up with Love Rollercoaster. smile

I'll send ya some jazzy stuff tomorrow.

Re: Me and the Kid

Cool ill have to try that, I love that song too! LOL
