A few months ago, Jamie and I collaborated on this track, which I thought came out pretty well.  Today Mirko (@Stringburner) said he liked the tune and would like to contribute to it.  So he sent me a bass track, I remixed with his playing added, and then remastered the track.  I really like the result and the bass is a great addition.  It's always nice to revisit these tracks after a while and try to improve them.  

Thanks to both Jamie and Mirko - this is one of my faves :)

Original post:
This is another track that came together pretty quickly. The groove was inspired by some jamming I heard a few days ago and played along with for a while. Once you have an idea what you're going for, these tracks can come together easily and take on a life of their own.

This one is me on guitars and bass and Jamie on organ and synth. Drums are loops from beta monkey's funk drums collection.

I am not good at naming these tracks and am functioning on little sleep, but after the fact I realized that my playing on this track is sort of inspired by the Grateful Dead's 'Help on the Way/Slipknot', which is a really cool tune and I unconsciously borrowed some of that vibe. Jamie sounds great as usual and is pushing it hard on this one. Hope you enjoy :)


Funk On The Way (featuring Jamie Rhind & Mirko Borach)

Hello!
I’m a musician, composer and songwriter. I have higher musical education and professional experience in this field for about 15 years. I compose music in different genres that can be used for background music, TV, commercials and advertising. Thanks for listening to my music.

I love how SC brings folks together from all around the world. I've had the opportunity to collab with new friends everywhere from TX (wazzup Tom?) to Germany (proud to officially be called a "Lunatic" with Hendrik and Jorg) to Holland (cheers, Marco!)to Spain (the incomparable Ms King)...to Japan (trading blues licks with Keit)...and hopefully more in the near future.

Hello and be welcome
I love it to listen to all your beautyful musix and I really enjoy it
Thank You and You undYou#



have all a good time and relax
                                      peace

Lliam Greguez is a macro ice photographer who captures freezing moments of a mountain stream and a creative arts therapist who, before C-19, used music to engage chronically ill children in five hospitals around New York City.

He also unlooses his experimental tendencies with five albums - a pair of Acoustic, a pair of Electric, and one Ambient. 

The acoustics are: Other People’s Children in English and La Yola in Spanish, the latter written by Dominican artist Luis Días. Each showcase uptempo acoustic music that could be labeled anti-pop with a unique essence accompanied by deliberative lyrics.

Then the two rock albums also contain one by Luis Días and one by the trio "Any of Several Weasels" reveling in the electric guitar sound. Luis' album is driven by Caribbean rhythms, while AoSW fuses punk and progressive.

Meanwhile, the "Look of Utter Disbelief" explores synth, sampling, and guitar improvisations.

Be sure to check out Lliam's website for a taste of his ice photography and stories from working with hospitalized children.

I've been playing guitar with varying degrees of devotion for about 30 years. I love to play and record every chance I get and have really enjoyed my time on SC so far.  My musical influences are guitar greats such as Hendrix, SRV, Jerry Garcia, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Robben Ford, Mike Bloomfield, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. I love listening to other people's music and drawing inspiration from their talents.  Most of all I appreciate all of the support from the community here and look forward to spending a lot more time. :)

Mark McDonald is not your average lead guitarist - influenced by Jeff Beck, Robben Ford, Frank Zappa, Richie Kotzen, Joe Satriani, there is a wealth of flavour to be found in Mark's playing.

Some of Mark's band influences include Rush, The Who, The Doors, Thin Lizzy, Chili Peppers.

Hear what others have to say about Mark: I have to thank my amigo Robert for that quote,i wouldn't have thought of it!  I've been writing my own material for a long time,as soon as started playing guitar i started to write songs. I've never stopped working on original music,i constantly keep trying to develop & progress,as best i can. I taught music for 12 years in a college & met lots of really creative characters along the way! I write however i feel,based on what's going on at that moment in time & where my musical vibe takes me. I really dig dudes like Jeff Beck,Robben Ford,Joe Satriani,Billy Gibbons,Jimmy Page,Stevie Ray Vaughan & Frank Zappa-there are so many people i could mention,but i'd literally be here all day ye'all! I really dig the concept of this soundcloud community & i hope that many of us find ourselves able to engage in creative ventures,that are enabled by this fab'n'groovy soundcloud community! To all of ye'all who listened to my songs,posted comments & sent messages-many thanks & mucho appreciation! I hope ye'all have a cosmical musical adventure that cleanses your soul & frees your mind! Take care ye'all,may your groove always be solid & Stay Funky you cheeky munkys! Peace'n'Zen

I don’t have as much time at the moment to be on Soundcloud. I always appreciate listens and feedback and will respond when I can.

Thank you for visiting. It’s always appreciated. 
You’ll mostly find blues colliding with other sounds, styles and traditions here. Lots of improvisation. Lots of guitar and some other instruments. Hope you find something to enjoy!
