I used to sample some of my favorite guitar licks from P-Funk. ONe good funk chord can get you through the day.

Beat-maker! Care to share some of your work?

"One good funk chord can get you through the day."

I'm jacking this hard.

It's not my work per se, just a few licks cut from some P-Funk tunes for personal use. I'll look up the songs and report back.

The very simple samples I made that come to mind are these:

1. "Sick 'Em" from the CD "Dope Dogs": there's a rhythm guitar lick in the middle that breaks up the piece and is repeated at the end.

2. "Let's Take It to the Stage" / Do That Stuff": opening guitar lick from a 1975 live performance in Houston. Following this lick comes the words: "Everybody funkin' but don't know how / they shoulda seen the bull when he funked the cow/ funked so hard they saw some smoke / he said let's get in the bed and funk like folks / laughin' at ya . . . " This is from one of my Funkadelic or George Clinton anthologies, possibly a British import. I'll look it up.
