Lane Visitor Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 P .s. No irony here at all... I truly enjoy this sound.. Esp the j-funk/fusion/boogie stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Nice, I really want to be in a Steely dan crossed with Snarky Puppy type band. Trouble is there is no one around here with the right styles to form said band. Also, I am not quite up to scratch myself so we'd be a poor version ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Poor Version" would actually be a cool name for a project :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 yeah, I guess so ha. I am not choppy on the keys so i'd be on guit or bass with maybe some double upped synth bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow have i not seen this movie?? I really enjoyed it, went by really fast, real straightforward. I still find the idea of r lee ermey esque teacher of jazz music absurd but that said the whole maddening obsession over perfection and greatness by both musician / mentor is gripping. And the drumming scenes are pretty fucking cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I can play jazz but i hate smooth jazz (unless you actually mean jazz/funk, which I don't hate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a crazy ambitious vision of fusing these sounds of the videos i listed above with hints of certain other influences, which if anyones interested, feel free to pm me and we can chat more :D i have a project in mind that id love to collab with likeminded creative peeps on, its a little hard to sort out where to start but maybe we can experiment with some things if anyones down and has a similar vision :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If I take a guitar solo without thinking about it I sort of default to an 80s stylee holdsworth legato through a Mesa Boogie triple rectifier sound. It's pretty embarrassing in most modern instances, but uh, I'm here for you if needed. lol? I mean, I'm not nearly that proficient but I can fake it sorta.

Sounds legit (: would love to hear that. Meanwhile, I did this pseudo jazzy 80s pop track and also a faux-bossa nova / fusion track on my last donovan release... Not that this is really close at all to those videos, but theres a breezy spirit to it i guess. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fNzq8ytBxlw https://ailanthusrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/corporate-snorkeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
