Recommend some funky guitar-driven tracks! I need a few songs to cover in the band for when we don't have the keyboardist that will keep the ladies dancing. Funky is good. Has to be recognizable.
Thanks! | |

Seems we're getting a little heavy on Funkadelic stuff 
What about this one? Should be pretty recognizable, and it's funky http://www.youtube.com/wa...nnbZReh4_U [Edited 1/14/10 14:51pm] |

I never realized this one was so guitar driven before. And, while I love this Funkadelic stuff, people will NOT know it where I play. KC and the Sunshine Band - yes, Funkadelic - no...haha. | |

I know he produced the album and Andy Taylor wasn't in Duran at the time. That riff sounds like something Chic would have done. | |

I was thinking maybe "Good Times" by Chic and "Love Rollercoaster" by Ohio Players. | |

How did I forget about this one? The lead guitar is more rock, but there's some funky rhythm playing in there, too:
Here's the studio version: Here's a live version from the 70s: | |

Slash + Lenny Kravitz = 
Live (distortion boosted); "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |
