BOOTSY'S BASIC FUNK FORMULA

[MDVEEJAZZ]

So much rhythm, groove, timing, feel and FUNK!! should be against the law. He sounds better than I do just giving a 30 second demo.

[hazatude]

I love you Mr. Collins!

[aurosne]

This is the best music lesson I have every watched. So simple yet so so right. Hit on the one then fit what you can inbetween, then hit on the one. IF you follow that you will rock...No wonder Buckethed is so awesome.

[Megamusicfan1997]

49 people don´t know.

[oscarrookie]

thats is one funky bass!

[technoguyx]

Simple as hell and works. Awesome. :D

[Budney420]

Ha! This must have come from outer space. It's too simple. Too powerful.

[wolfboy12321]

[TheRealDJMODE5]

What did he mean by "breakdown"?

[eldi72]

[spacewithace1997]

[AlexDeMars123]

I've been following this formula on guitar and I didn't even know it was Bootsy's

[LedGratefulAllmanBro]

He learned that from a funky ball covered in teats from outer space

[WoodsofWilmer]

You know? The thin line between pothead/poet

[TechnosaurMusic]

[CaptainSugarFoot]

I don't hate the 41 people who disliked Bootsy and the funk formula -  there has to be losers in the world to find the winners. Get some glide in yo stride :)

[HillmanProjects]

@CaptainSugarFoot Either that or they disliked the fact that he hasnt mentioned that JB invented the "one"

[SupremeSoulstice]

@CaptainSugarFoot my man said glide in yo stride! I know that's right!!!

[breadwarandcircus]

The bass appears to be translating his words into the lost language of Funkish

[awfulguitarplucker]

@breadwarandcircus but bootsy is like our Indiano JOnes of Funk...he rediscovered thisancient language an transalets it tru his bass!

[MrMaciosh]

Ya, ya know, know.

[stevensteelbird]

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. Bootsy Collins, ladies and gentlemen!

[The32deucecoupe]

Bootsy put the Woogie in the Boogie Baby..

[kghsbassboy]

the funk be with you bootsy ( i mean who the hell would want the force when you could have...(whispers with eyes in the squinty expression you get when looking at a bright object,with the dramatic close up of them both) the funk) again i say the funk be with you all

[RobParliament]

If you fake the funk, your nose is going to grow! Simply put, The one is the first beat of a measure.

[BobNThat]

do wit' it, ya know, do wit' it, ya know. do wit' it, ya know, do wit' it, ya know

[bassmanb3]

Bootsy is awesome. He Played with James Brown and Parliment /Funkadelic. Saw him Live (Bootsy's Rubber Band in the 70's) He influenced My funk style long ago.

(Hey Bootsy! Are You a star?) "Twinkle twinkle Baby." Best Quote by anybody ever!!!!!

[tvboy0707]

this video has the most sense in anything ive seen in a long while

[desbiens14]

funniest, smartest video on tha Tube

[tinyping]

when the bootsy repeat started happening, i thought some sort of awesome modern mix-off was going to start but was thoroughly disappointed.

i've been listening to too much daft punk, damnit.

[9doma9]

And then you wanna break it down. BREAK DOWN! xD

[OscillatorCollective]

EVERYBODY ON THE ONE!!!

[chcknhntngottaloveit]
