A new funk practice loop, sampled from The Same Old Thing, by The Meters. Use this with these two recent pages, or any of my funk stuff. The tempo is about 106 bpm. The 16th notes are swung slightly, in that New Orleans kind of way; don’t worry about copying it, just listen and play and you’ll start to acquire it.
