Alan "Dr. Licks" Slutsky, author of "Standing In The Shadows of Motown", has also written a great book called "The Great James Brown Rhythm Sections," which contains transcriptions, recordings, and explanations.
Sorry, Ray Parker, Jr.; Jimmy Nolen was bringing the funk on his guitar probably well before you were a twinkle in Ray, Sr.'s eye...

Anyting by James Brown, especially with Jimmy Nolan. Everybody else learned "the funk" from him.

James Brown is one of my "kickin myselfs" for not catching a show whilst I still had the opportunity.

unfortunately it's kind of hard to hear the groove on this one (and that singer looks embarassing) so watch this one too!!

I think that it's supposed to be based on a Swiss Army Triplet or some crazy rudimental thing that I don't necessarily understand.
