Fender Rhodes Funk

[ricoche]

I'm a big fan of playing funky Rhodes stuff. Here is a great video on Youtube for those looking for additional ideas about getting that funky Rhodes sound.

Perhaps Willie could introduce a special lesson on playing funk with the Rhodes. The gentleman playing on Youtube does a fantastic job I think, but I'm sure there are things that could either be added or perhaps another direction could be taken.

Enjoy!

P.S. Here is another great tune from the same guy called "Cold Duck Time". Awesome version here and very funky with the Rhodes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E-SyDGStcU

Thanks Jim for posting.

I think April's lesson is going to be a combination of Chameleon, Creating a Funk tune and using the Rhodes.

Maybe I'll shorten that title :-)
