Huge fan.
Excellent video here.
I found Buckhead's cover to Maggot Brain earlier this week and downloaded Funkadelic's version to my phone.
I know my coworkers are glad I'm off today because I've been playing it all week at work....
Never in a million years I thought I wanted to play the guitar since most of my life I've wanted to learn the piano but I don't have the time.

The guitar is such a cool instrument. Once you start playing and creating your own sound it's amazing!!!

Fellas, for forever I always thought that was Louis Johnson playing the bass from the beginning. But in the beginning he's playing the electric piano on Stomp. Cold, thats's a Wurlitzer in the video am I correct?

that electric piano looks very similar to a Rhodes MK V Stage
and that synth looks like a Multimoog Analog Synthesizer......
i could be wrong, but thats what comes to mind when i see it in those brief seconds....

That's a Rhodes.

I'm trying not to be tempted because I have other priorities but man it's hard....
Do it. Trust me on this one.I'm trying not to be tempted because I have other priorities but man it's hard....
Very good comparison on two of the most popular guitars ever!!!!
Absolutely! Great basses and hard to come by.
Yeah, I knew it was Babbit and not Jamerson.
White Guitar teacher analyzes Knee Deep... 27:24 is where he starts to lose himself! "No, No, No. No..." etc...
Hilarious! I think people take for granted that all of the P-Funk players and singers were excellent musicians, including the substitutes and replacements. The fact that they pulled in Philippe Wynne on this song was brilliant

Fellas, help me out with this. I have the notes with this song. I'm starting to train my ear by finding the notes on the fretboard to different songs without looking at the tabs. It's helping a lot. I was quickly able to identify the tonic of the song, which is D#. Two things I'm not sure of is what pedal is used in this song? Is it an Octave pedal? And two, when the beat drops at the 15th second mark, when it goes to D# to A#, is the bassist slaping the A# and plucking the D#? That A# and C# is very bright. Too bright to be plucked I'm thinking. Listen and tell me your thoughts.
Sounds to me like a synth and bass playing together. That really low note is either the synth or an 808 but it's not the actual bass doing it. I'll try to do a recording of it.

Intro to the song is just bass guitar. When it goes into the verse section there's some other stuff going on. Either the bass has an effect on it or it's a synth following underneath. That really low note is a synth or an 808. I just recorded the bass guitar part of the verse section. I didn't do the intro.
May be a synth pedal. It's not an octave pedal since that low note is random. Honestly, the effect was probably done in the recording process. I wouldn't get so caught up in trying to recreate the sound. My band plays tunes that are synth bass in the original recording (i.e. Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan). I just play the bass line.
Yessir. I never get caught up trying to recreate 'sounds'. Just concentrate on the notes.So just focus on the right notes then correct?
Funny shit though............I never heard the song before and now I got it memorized! It's in my song bank! LOL
