my preference would go to Bootsy, for legacy and such, but he sure scores well in the race. if I remember correctly, he played on like 90% of the Motown releases during the seventies, something I got to respect him for
Rare pleasure - Let me down easy :

Yeah Bootsy is also a fucking monster.
BTW I have funk bass books on my computer, if anyone's interested let me know and I'll upload them, my upload speed is atrocious so it's gonna take a while but I'm glad to help
>>63679709
also I saw this absolute madman last friday, it was red fucking hot. he also announced a new album, making 2016 the potentially best year for funk in quite some time

I already have the Ray Brown method, but I'd be interested by the Patitucci one. thanks !
I was practicing some of these licks the other day, but my fingers are nowhere near as long as his so it was pretty hard lol : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQkjDxHvaXc
this was a major hit for me when I saw him and his brother live back in the 80s

>>63680489
I know they exist because I watched it with subs at a friend's place. it was a dvd, so a rip is probably to be found somewhere on the internet

big classic indeed, but it's always good to hear about it ! too bad original pressings rarely go under 100/150 bucks though... I have a Buddah pressing from 1971 I found at good will, but it is in pretty bad shape and I'd like to replace it but no luck so far

I got to see Parliament-Funkadelic last year at a free show - immediately became one of my top 5 shows ever.
James Brown wrote the book
to me, Sly & The Family Stone offer one of the strongest possible visions that extended his music (Miles and Eno were listening)
and Meters on their Josie albums have a whole different thing, which at times could be so effortlessly virtuosic (zero pretensions, while keeping truncated "pop" song structures) that some of what they did feels like "progressive funk" to me
