George Clinton a Musician?

P-Funk always had great talented musicians
and George Clinton was always the driving force
but what about George Clinton as a musician?
does he plays instruments? compose songs ?
what do you think of his singing voice?

p.s.
i love Funkadelic /Parliament music especially guitar player Gary Shider
but i know so little about the facts sad

George mainly uses percussion and synthesizers. I think he used the vocoder too or that could be credited to Bernie.

Years ago I heard George on one of the classic soul stations and he was asked if he played any instruments. He said "No, I only play my lips". Good answer.

lol Then that answers the question then. I never really known George to play an instrument though. He was best as a songwriter, voice, founder and bandleader anyway.

Yes. Like Ozzy, George had a knack of picking some great musicians to work with him.
