Play that Funky Music

So tomorrow, we are going to explore the art of funk music. We did not have a good turnout for the practice and only one had an electric guitar, and no it was not me. I'm not a hundred percent sure how well we will do. We'll see how it goes anyway. To be honest I have no idea why I wanted to do funk. A fregin corps has more soul and funk in them than I've got. I have not the slightest clue how to play funk, random chords.
So here's my thoughts on groups. I don't know about anyone else but I, much like Bob Dylan in the mid 1960's am getting a little tired of the acoustic scene. I think it's time to change from Pane's Double El Acoustic Raid Supported by Dunkin D's (My own name for last weeks group) and go electric. Last week was a good time and me and my group members worked well together on a nice quiet piece. I like the music we've done, but I'm beginning to hate the quiet. The John Fox Company plays some amazing stuff on the stage and they blast us out of our seats instrument wise. Before the end of the semseter, I want to form the electric group and play a hard rock blues mix jam and likewise blast us out of the seats with the volume. At some point along with some people in class, I'd like to pull in my duo partner in our own band Gauthier and Chase and we can perhaps play another blues number with some people in class. Tomorrow I'm going to bring in the Ibanez but I dont know if I will play it. We will have to see what instrumentation we have for the Funk group. I might play a little organ. Anyway, it could be interesting, but I am planning on going electric much like the John Fox Company anytime soon.
Anyway I think that's really all I have for this blog, next week I will probably expand a lot on something I read in Sync or Swarm... Until next week, have a good one.
