Hey Peter, hey what's up? Shall we be funky? funky. and uh mrs and the I'm Adam Maness.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast.

Music advice and inspirational and funkiness, not funkiness.

Fonkiness, coming at you.

Funkiness coming at you today, sponsored by Open Studio, of course. Peter, why are we being so funky today, now? Well, we've been, we just kind of through, well, okay, it started from the Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder a couple weeks ago. We're working on this video. On the St. Louis Blues. Yeah, the St. Louis Blues. And it's just a funk fest. It's just groove fest it's so great we love that track and we talked

about it here on the pod i think a couple weeks ago as well and so we did a little thing on the you'll

hear it live on mondays yeah what do you know about mondays exactly one week ago from right now

a week ago exactly uh and we invite you to join us every monday 4 pm over on the youtube's

totally uh on the open studio youtube channel where we do a live show that's ephemeral. You taught me that word earlier. I'm not sure if it's right. No, it's right. I love it. It's like something that's there and then it just blossoms the word. It's like deep blossoms. It de-flowers itself away. And so whatever. You know, I think about like a flower that just becomes like, you know, it becomes powder. Yes. A dandy lion. That's a dandy little phrase that you, little turn of the words. Yeah. So we do that at 4 p.m. Eastern, please join us over there. But we were just sort of grooving on that. And then, you know, we turned that into a little video because it was kind kind of fun but the idea was about like how do you develop and how do you work on and really how do you

learn how to play funky baselines and i mean the bigger thing is like how do you play funky but

we're not going to be able to tackle that on the pod fully today but we thought we could talk

about specifically baselines how you could practice it Because I think that the hand independence element is so important, but you got to have stuff to play. And like it's all for not if you if you've got independence of your hands, but you don't have the right stuff to play with either one of them. Totally. Totally. And so normally your baseline would be with your left hand, but, you know, whatever, it's in

that base region, right?

So we should probably start there.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

So the thing at the beginning, what was it?

I've already forgotten it, but it was something kind of, it was a little faster maybe.

And I'm just making this up, right?

But the idea is like, like you find the groove, right?

And then where's the 16?
