Hi all .... missing Prince, so can anyone recommend some funk which also has great rock guitar playing in? Not fussed on era ... retro, modern, whatever. Thanks!

eddie hazel - games, dames and guitar thangs

mutiny - mutiny on the mamaship

The Funk songs on Exodus: Prince

Wrong forum.

also, while probably not categorizable as funk (but with definite funk sensibilities), you might enjoy ween...dean ween is a prince acolyte, and a helluva player in his own right. i'd recommend 'chocolate and cheese' as a good starting point.

.

Yep, Mother's Finest

This is a fun romp. Especially while watching Tamar work a Tina Turner fringe dress.

"Slide" by Slave (1977)

Thanks folks! ... loads to start digging in to here, can't wait!

The Time "My Drawers"

Isley Brothers "Climbin' Up The Ladder" & "Who Loves You Better"

Slave "Slide"

Ohio Players "What The Hell"

Jesse Johnson "Love Struck"

Janet Jackson "Black Cat"

Funkadelic "Not Just Knee Deep"

Rick James "Ghetto Life"

Insane - Cameo

Stellar Fungk - Slave

Whitehouse Orgy - Bar-Kays

Deal With It - Ernie Isley

Cosmic Slop (Hardcore Jollies version) - Funkadelic

Self titled debut from DAG (1994?)...Their lead guitarist is a cross between Ernie Isley and Freddie Stone. Funkadelic's "Let's Take It To The Stage" and "One Nation" are good picks too.

The Ohio Players song "What The Hell" has some nice guitar. Also, as mentioned above Slave has some songs with good guitar work..."Slide" to name one song

Also Contradiction by the Ohio Players

I just DIE every time I hear the version of this from Tamar's Chicago show. Prince just absolutely tears the holy living SH*T out of his guitar in the solo at the end and when it's over, you hear a girl say, "Not bad, Prince. Not bad!"

Not F***ING bad?!?!?!?

I was three feet from Prince when he played the solo to this at the Houston Tamar show. Still the greatest guitar solo I have ever seen anyone play, ever.

OK, after wasting a half hour trying to figure out how to embed Youtube videos here are just the sonfs identified ...

Few more recommendations:

Minds Under Construction - Bootsy

You Got the Love - Rufus

Maybe Your Baby - Stevie Wonder

Sir Psycho Sexy - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I also like the Run-DMC rock tracks like King of Rock, Rock Box and Raising Hell.

Can someone please either post how to embed videos here or send me an org note - PLEASE

Thanks in advance!

It worked! Knew it had to be simple. Here is another funk-guitar classic, instrumental. Wicked guitar courtesy of the one and only Marc "Drac" Hicks, RIP.

i kinda like the solo on "Jerk Out."

Jesse Johnson's solo cd projects....especially that last one.

How about these two, anyone feeling them?
