if you are just lookin for some good bass lines listen to some rancid, like 1998, detroit and basically most rancid has good bass. | ||

(found this by accident looking for another song, still cool tho lol) (dunno if thats funk, but i think it is..) damn thats a lot, i forget what i even put in there im a little drunk, i hope theres some good shit you were looking for. RHCP isnt really funk btw, esp dani california (maybe some of their other shit like give it away now is way more funky, but come on dani california's like college rock if anything.) | ||

it's a funk / jazz / african high life hybrid. i recommend starting with Fela Kuti, as he's pretty much credited as the founder of afrobeat. and for straight funk, obviously anything by Parliament and Funkadelic. Bootsy Collins' solo stuff is also extremely funky. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Suggestions] + RHCP is the only band I know very well that has a strong bass line that is not electronically produced, so here's some more of their stuff that sounds kinda funky: RHCP - 21st Century RHCP - Hump de Bump RHCP - Warlocks | ||

if you're interested in straight accessible funk I would start with licks from the meters and sly & the family stone. just steal a vamp off some tune you like from one of them, get the feel for the groove, and then play it over a metronome. once you can play it in time and accurately, start moving it up and down the neck, changing keys and octaves as you please to get a feel for it. obviously no need to do this if you're just playing for fun but if you want to pick up the pace that'll help since you're an rhcp fan I'd also suggest you check out their second album freaky styley, it was produced by george clinton of pfunk fame and is for all intents and purposes a straight funk album. if you get a strong handle on those types of funk and feel you wanna step it up or try something a little more demanding you can start working on some of those crazy fuckin 16th note grooves that rocco prestia lays down in tower of power, or maybe start with "come on, come over" off of jaco's solo debut. whatever you ultimately do, have fun and keep the groove in the pocket. on a parting note, I leave you all with larry graham in a ridiculous 70's get-up thumping like only the father of slap could: | ||

I didn't even know this much funk existed.Larry Graham and most Flea lines are CRAZY! xD Steel- I really like a couple of thos songs yet I couldn't find any tabs for them (Cause I'm not a musician I can't read standard notation. well thats not a drama, theres probably plenty of sites that teach you for free (how to read notation) imo u should learn it, makes it easier when you are constructing chords or scaling over chords and such i found this site through google, http://www.wikihow.com/Read-Music , might be helpful to u | ||
