Without crisp rhythm playing on a solid-body electric with single-coil pickups, think of a Fender Stratocaster in the second position or a Telecaster, ideally with an out-of-phase setting, there’s no funk.
Add a deliciously growling bass guitar and you’re well on your way to a fantastic groove that never gets old.
