Revisit FunkyC-Mixdown - Complete

[MikeS]

I thought I'd try something I heard Griff suggest a while ago and that is to limit yourself.
I decided to revisit this track and limit myself to just the first 3 strings (mostly the house pattern).

I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone else does with it too.

FunkyC-Mixdown 3 Strings-MS
I take it until 1:30.

Very nice Mike. You definitely got that BB groove going! I’ll try to jump in sometime over the next few days although limiting myself to 3 strings might just be more than I can handle. I think it will be a great practice routine to maybe help me slow down a little and concentrate on the riffs.

Who ya gonna call?

RUTBUSTERS!!!!!

Lot's of slippin' and slidin' on each of the first 3 strings. (1:30-2:55)

(And 2 contributions to the same track in the same day.)

Anybody want to try 2 strings?

OK, a quick 3 progressions using the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings of box 4 (with the C root on the 3rd string at the 5th and 17th frets).

I really just use the 4th string for the final V note of each progression, otherwise it's 2 strings for me.

Pickup selector change between 1st and 2nd progression.

In at 2:55 and out at 4:21.

Three String FunC

 

[PapaRaptor]

Well, this is fun. Three strings, eh? That's some hard habits to fight and you all are doing such a great job at it.
I'll take a crack at this..

All righty then. I'll fess up. I plucked one note on the D string throughout the whole thing and it seemed as if fire alarms were going off in my head when I did it.

4:21~5:40

***RECORDING***

I was able to keep it on the southern hemisphere of the fret board even though that pesky D string kept calling my fingers to come visit! I'm in from 5:40 - 6:43. Room for someone to come in and take it on home.

MarcV,
No limping at all, at nice burst across the finish line.
Tone is reminiscent of something familiar.........CCR?

 

[MarcV]

Thanks Captain. Love CCR, but nothing intentional in tone just dialing up what sounds like good amount of OD, delay and reverb. Still playing with that part of it though
