You know how their faces contort when hitting certain notes or rhythms? Why is that triggered in the face? Is it an emotional response? Communication by facial expression? Vestigial from some other process?

    Bootsie explains how to play funk bass in a 3 minute video where he only says “play the root on every downbeat” but then he plays funky ass shit on the other notes and doesn’t explain that part

      I know the video you’re talking about. It’s great. Don’t they have a song “up on the downbeat”?

      I was just quoting a British comedy (the mighty Boosh) in which a character finds a creature that found “the funk” haha. Look up “Old Gregg” if you want some dumb humor with some music in it.

      Old Gregg is actually Noel Fielding? Richmond from the IT crowd. Great comedian.
