Maggot Brain - Funkadelic Cover by Brian Kmetz 

Amen.thats all folks

Lol for real? I’ve only got barre chords down but I could see learning this song teaching you pretty much everything about finger style

"Know as much and are as good as anyone out there" I'm sorry, but WHAT? It's one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time and Eddie Hazel was incredible, but literally about 95% of it is E minor pentatonic.

@@mrrec0very956 bro no it doesnt, this song just teaches you how to use scales, mainly pentatonic.

​@@akiroai6577I mean, yes you're correct. Beside the fact it let you learn vibrato, bending , tempo, dynamics,intervals, emotion and so on. Y'all can't say it is a basic Em pentatonic scale solo AND one of the most iconic solo in the same sentences. there is way more to it 🤘

George Clinton the master mind behind Funkadelic

while he was on lsd

the title comes from the fact that the producer found his brothers decomposed corpse adds another layer of meaning doesnt it?

The reason George telling him to play like his mother had just died was translated so well into music is because, when your tripping, you kind of believe anything, or make up your own beliefs in seconds if you hear something that would affect you. Beliving your mother has just died, while tripping, would be a complete mind fuck. As someone In these replies said, near the end of the solo, he likely realised thst he had just told him to play LIKE his mother had just died, not that she actually had, which is why the solo ends less dark than when it starts

​@@Hi-wv2ixactually it was, " play as if your mother had died but you found out she was still alive", or something to that affect 😢

cuz people are lame

Unless you're Eddy van Hazel ofcourse

I'm trying to figure how to play this thru my guitar speaker

i'm so incredibly sorry to hear about your brother.

I'm so sorry for your brother.

I’m so sorry to hear that, may he rest in peace and in the kingdom of god.

I'm sorry we couldn't see his mean guitar mug! I bet it was epic too lol

Yep!

I. Go. To bed. Lisneg. To. It. Played

You can play it. It’s not about making it sound like the original, it’s telling your own story

@@garfield4863 beautifully said

Can you play it now?

Learn your minor pentatonic, you'll be able to play this.

It’s not hard ! Just need time to practice 😂

Love

The FEEL is extremely hard to replicate. The solo itself is not exactly technical by any means. All E pentatonic.

@@michaelm4464 you just have to let go, no matter your skill level if you just let your emotions do the playing it will come out amazing

@@i.r.433 I agree. I have a cover on my channel if you'd like to check it out and give me some constructive feedback. It's nowhere near as good as this but it was my first take and I feel relatively pleased with it.
