The Soul/Funk Appreciation Society

[justgimmethefunk]

List has been updated with 'I'll Take You There' by the Staple Singers and a new version of 'Little Green Bag' by The George Baker Selection

[bernixix]

@@justgimmethefunk Thanks for adding my version of Little Green Bag, mate! I didn't mention earlier because I didn't really think it would fit here

 

@@Aludog That banner's so godamn good! I'll use it if you don't mind, and btw when did you join CRC? I didn't notice 'till now ^^

[Aludog]

I'll make a new version of the banner to reflect the name change of the group to simply "Soul/Funk/R&B Society". It will be the same otherwise.

And yeah, I've joined the CRC when they opened up their social group but it's not like I haven't done any Classic Rock before. It just nice to have someone to get concrete feedback from or maybe even some help in creating the custom.

I like to think that we can do the same here as well, so feel free to use the Charter Collaboration forum in the social group to get feedback and help from other charting members.

Here's a new banner:

I wanted to make it look good, so I needed two more words in the second half. It's the "high regard society" now. :lol:

Nice to see some Marcus Miller being made.  Strangely I never play slap style with Rocksmith.  Whereas when I started playing, that's pretty much the first thing I tried.  I remember giving Rampage a go - isn't too difficult.

One of the great ones died on the 21st, Mr. Louis Johnson. I was devastated. Stomp is still whipping my butt. (Thanks, @mikka23!)

I got an email, I got a response on my message I left here yesterday. But both my post and response are gone?

 

Anyway David Bowie must be on the list. But right now I'm very busy with school untill the 6th of June. After I can make a list.

 

Anyways words of George Clinton himself:

 

 

"We Want The Funk," I was biting off David Bowie. Faaaame! Weeeeee want the funk! I would be sued like Robin Thicke right now. I would be in trouble. Because the beat and the feel—I didn't copy the melody, because if you copy seven notes of the melody, that's what the copyright law is. But the feel. I just added the silent parts that he didn't say. It's the same feel. Of course David Bowie had funk! You don't know David Bowie if you ask whether he had funk.

Also The Clash is very funky.

OLD POST:

 

 

I made Parliament (Funkadelic) - Flashlight. It is not right yet. I see some notes are played to early. BASS!
 
 EDIT2: Uploaded a new version. You can find the song in Rocksmith as PFUNK - Flashlight.

Can I have some feedback? Before I upload it on Customforge

•  
• What Tone should I use?   
• How do I add that thing above the song :P (so you can go in Riff Repeat, and select a part you want to play)

Not sure if the song works on ps3, xbox but it works on PC.

[Leorstef]

List updated with the latest Sade tracks

 

Frankly, with Sade's song catalog, we could do a "Sade Appreciation Society".  :lol:

[Jokkah]

Hey Guys, please give this a try, is Jackson 5 Blame it on the boogie.

If you can give me feedback on what to fix and  HOW-TO do it, that would be great... for example I think there is a lot of slap going on on that A string and I don't know how to change it :S. also I´m having a hard getting the game to display the phases the wright way

Any help is welcome! the better I learn how to use EoF the more I can contribute to the customsforge community!

[justgimmethefunk]

@@Jokkah wow nice one! It's been on my to-do list for quite a while...I'll give it a try and will let you know how it sounds. Thanks!

[justgimmethefunk]

I'll give it a go. I tried to open the tab with the RS to Tab tool cause I suspect any issues there which can cause problems with sections in RS, but it failed, couldn't be loaded in Guitar Pro 6. Anyway it's important that all bars are filled with the correct lenghts of notes and rests, otherwise the sections won't working. Slaps and pops I always add in Guitar Pro when I create a tab. But in EoF you can easily highligt one or more notes, press "n" and there you'll find also options for Slap and Pop and other techs.

If you share the tab I can take a look into.

[Jokkah]

frippchen I think you need to delete some old mails, is not allowing me to send you a private message... anyway sorry everyone else for going a bit outside of topic here.

I put the EoF files and the GP in a folder in my dropbox (or you can click here). maybe I´m asking a bit too much, but if you find the problem, would you mind taking few screen shots pointing me what you did to fix it? btw, thanks for telling me that the "n" is for note... again, im a newby here... I think i´ll start transforming all my CDLC to make them 5 string friendlier... so far I just make the math in my head but between "n" and the "Precise Select Like" it should be easy... and i will start giving that B the use it deserves :)

[justgimmethefunk]

@@Jokkah I might have an idea about your phrases/section problem. When you created the sections in EoF (intro, verse, chorus etc...), did you check the 'Also Add as RS Phrase' tick button in Beat > Rocksmith > Place RS Section ?
