a mellow, spacey groovy thing.....
....i'm not saying that if you are slightly altered it wont work as well....
;)
really experimented with clean guitar tones on this one...
and a lot of walking finger bass....
the drums are completely synth, so this whole thing is a bit of a new twist for me.

currently this one works as an instrumental....
but i'd like to try a different approach with it.
i'm working out a lyric and melody for it right now.....
would love to hear any comments or suggestions....

Hi BB, very nice very funky, needs more guitar. Fun to play along.

Hey B.B. It does sure work as an instrumental. Loved the guitar tones. And great bass stuff. I'm really curious what lyric/melody you might fit over this. Gonna be interesting! Thanks for sharing!

OH YEA !! FUNKIE !!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Nice cool southern-ish funk going on here...  This groove has pockets.  And while some of the guitar parts are a bit "experimental" I think it works.

that's too cool, playing along with it.... !
well, you said it needed more guitar, now it has it

i'm curious too!
LOL
i've got about half the lyrics written, still not sure about the approach.
i'll return with an updated version when i figure it out
thanks for listening

thanks man.yes, funky. 
i dig funky clean stuff like this as much as the heavier stuff, and the acoustic stuff.
if i just had more time..... i could crank out a hundred of these things,
so many ideas floating around in the membrane.

funny that you hear the 'southern' influence....
i don't know where that came from, honestly, but i DID grow up in the south,
so there's no denying it!

i never think of my guitar parts as experimental....
only going exactly where i want them to go at that minute.
i hear them as multiple melodies, sometimes they repeat, but mostly do not.
to me, that's really where story telling is at,
but a lot of people do not get it.
they need things to repeat, and often, to reinforce an idea.
for me, the whole thing is like a conversation.
but maybe i'm just talking to myself.

Bat,
 
Funky, cool song.   Really good vibe you have going.   The guitar layers are very well done.   I like Rik's jam over the top too.  It works as an instrumental, it could work equally as well with Vox.   I would say you have a lot of options with this track.   To me the layers of clean guitar are very reminiscent of Steve Vai, i.e Boston Rain Melody, mellow parts of The Riddle, etc...  Not that it sounds like a Vai song but I can hear some similarities in the execution.   Very nice track.
