Piano Funk Groove #4 in Bb

[NOTE] This is an early-access version of this page. I’ll add videos and additional files as they are completed.

In this set of seven video tutorial lessons, I’ll teach my original Funk Groove #4 in Bb.

This piece is an off-rhythm rolling funk groove over a slightly Cajun-flavored drums and bass groove, interspersed with some straight-forward funk sections.

Technical skill level required: Advanced.

   Thanks for the wonderful new groove.
   I’ve put mp3’s of the backing online for the people who like them more then midi. (I ran the midi without the piano through a Motif Rack ES)
