Jamming To Pfunk by Bass Lessons bass tab (text):Every bassist learns to play a few funk songs at some point in his life, for obvious reasons. Funk is a lot of fun to play because of its interesting rhythms and the prominent role that the bass plays in it. But the really fun part of funk music, as in many kinds of music, is being able to improvise to it, to do your own thing while jamming to an old favorite. This lesson will hopefully teach you the theory behind funk music and give you a starting point from which to start improvising. The two songs that I'll have you jamming to are both from Parliament's Mothership Connection. They are, Unfunky UFO and Give Up the Funk. We'll start with Give Up the Funk, which is in the key of E Dominant. For those of you with a little bit of music theory already under your belt, you should know that this means that while jamming to this song, you can play over the E Dominant scale, which looks something like this: ---------------6--7--9- -------6-7--9---------- --7--9----------------- ----------------------- And you should also know that the first, third, fifth, and seventh notes in that scale are the chord tones. So, to begin, we can put on the song and try to improvise some over the E Dominant scale, sticking to mostly chord tones ( the first 3rd 5th and 7th notes ). Make sure that at first you keep things simple. Feel that funky rhythm, always play on the first beat of each measure and add on from there. Always make things interesting rhythmically before you try to make them interesting note-wise. Jam to that for a while. After you've become comfortable jamming like this we can move on and start to learn another way to jam over funk songs. Because Give Up the Funk is in E Dominant we can jam to it not only in the E Dominant Scale, but in the E Blues Scale, which looks a bit like this: ------------------7--9--- ---------7--8--9--------- --7--10------------------ ------------------------- This is true when you are in any dominant key. Both the dominant scale and the blues scale will work. So now try jamming to Give Up the Funk with the blues scale. Remember all those same things that you used when jamming with the dominant scale, but just play over the Blues. Once you're comfortable jamming in both the blues scale and the dominant scale with funk, you can switch it up in the middle of a song. And when you're really into it you can visualize these scales past where the finger patterns end (another finger pattern begins where the first one ends, in case you didn't know that already). You can use all of these same ideas when jamming to Unfunky UFO (in A Dominant), or any of the songs on Mothership Connection actually, once you've figured out what key they're in. Like I said before, almost all funk music is in a dominant key and you can jam over it in either the dominant or the blues scale as I have shown above. Just remember to focus on rhythm first and foremost, relax and feel the funk. Note: I would also advise you not to look up the tabs to a song before you jam to it, as I find that knowing the real bass line hinders me when I'm trying to be creative. I sometimes get stuck in a rut playing what's on the cd instead of improvising. |
