This funk groove will give your fingers a nice workout! This groove is firmly in the advanced category. I originally wrote this to be played over a rolling cajun groove, such as the MIDI file provided, but it also works fine over a straight-up funk groove. Some people can only handle so much snare drum in one sitting! If you can get this one under your fingers, it’s impressive!

I had some fun creating a separate remixed video version of this with a bit of live guitar, some hammond organ patches and a wailing crybaby keytar lead part. Be sure to check it out at the end!
