Catfish doesnt get enough recognition man. this vid is great. the dude's clock was spot on too. Bootsy and George both said u couldnt shake his time for nothing
Those licks are pure magic. The dead notes are the metronome. Both Bootsy and Catfish were also drummers, which explains their uncanny ability to maintain rhythm.
Nice video!! Would be nice to see you do a video on my uncle Wah Wah Watson! He has plenty of groves to study!! RIP to Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson!!!!
Lived near to Mr.Johnny Watson in LA my first year in college at USC (football/track) was friendly with his daughter Virginia (cheerleader) USC Trojans/ as a musician / drummer etc enjoyed many convos with him and other local known players in the neighborhood was in heaven on and of the gridiron / track unbelievable times hope Virginia is well ❤️✌️ Timmy White
@@elwodwhite9943 I was talking about the guy that played on PaPa was a rolling stone, let’s get it on, Car Wash, Barry White, Michael and Janet Jackson and etc. 2 different people but great story!!!!!!
sometimes it was actually BOOTSY Playing guitar. or Garry Shider playing with both catfish and Bootsy. @13:08 Brides of FUNKENSTEIN.. not Frankenstein....Frankenstein is the Dr. with the Monster - Dr FUNKENSTEIN is THE DISCO FIEND WITH THE MONSTER SOUND... THE COOL GHOUL WITH THE FUNK TRANSPLANT.
Nice! Way to pick something that's not taught as often. 🤘 A suggestion: add those time stamp windows in the description so the students can come back to the video and skip to the riffs they need/want I'm quick enough to pick it up by watching you do it full speed but I remember the days of rewinding through frustrating slow speed riffs 🤘🤣
Dude you re sounding good af! You got that ish down! And you give a.great tutorial as well! Now this is what makes America great! Great funkin.music! Ten.cool points to you ! 😎
Rick outstanding lessons on some legendary Guitar funky licks by an all time cat whom ever since his early teens before his brother back in Cincinnati Ohio was the man that everybody wanted for sure as a duo they were the forefront of funk tunes for decades to come and leaders for guitar and bass players alike to emulate thank you very much even a drummer can like myself can learn from haha and I jammed with many known players from NJ to CA over the last 50 years best wishes 👍✌️
Might be the funkiest guitar play off all time. Instantly recognizable tone, and served the music 100% of the time. Always more concerned with the music then getting his stuff in.
I have a lot of those kind of lessons on my channel, search for layering funk rhythm, side steppin... All these can be found in my funk rhythm playlist
Hi Rick. Another great lesson!!! I have a question: I'm a premium member (and loving it!!), but I cannot view any content in the extra area. Such as your live performances, or live the workshops. I didn't see how to reach you on the site. Hope you can help. Thanks!!
Great job bro, Keeping bootsie and catfish out of Cincinnati Ohio on the map And given those 2 cats all the recognition they deserve, so many people don't realize The musician ship That went into the funkadelics All the parliaments played so well together It can never be duplicated I think they were aliens.... Make my funk, the p-funk
"Bootsy" Collins just shared this video on Facebook! Thank you Bootsy! web.facebook.com/BootsyCollins

Man , glad to see Catfish getting the well deserved love. He was an awesome player. RIP Catfish 🙏🏽🎸

LEGEND !!! MY PLEASURE AND HONOR TO HAVE KNOWN HIM AND HE AND BOOTSY CHANGED MUSIC HISTORY !!!
True
OMG 😮 can’t believe you highlighting this guy...

Lol, thank you, it needed to be done
Catfish doesnt get enough recognition man. this vid is great. the dude's clock was spot on too. Bootsy and George both said u couldnt shake his time for nothing
Thanks for watching, these cats are the original funkateers and must be given their due recognition
I agree!!! 🙂

Always loved that "jangly" rhythm on Flashlight. This is one great video.

Catfish is the Man ! Great pioneer, RIP
'71 Love Power Peace, James Brown live in Paris, showcases JB's Bootsy and Catfish. If you see it, get it.
Best thing I’ve seen on you tube for a long time. Nice work.
Thank you for watching
Great tutorial lesson. Even helped me pick up some of the bass lines. 1 thing tho', it's The Brides of Funkenstein, not Frankenstein.
What better way than to spend part of the day on some Catfish. Thanks.
Awesome video. It took me a few days but I learned these great grooves lol. thanks for this sweet video!
Right on, thanks for watching!

If I could find a guitarist that could keep time and make hooks like that....
Great, is there a possibility to make a review on the style of Paul Jackson jr. Single notes, double stop, ... Thanks
I have a lot of those kind of lessons on my channel, search for layering funk rhythm, side steppin... All these can be found in my funk rhythm playlist
Ya that would be a good one
Great Video RIP 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Hey Rick, is that a very slight flanger or phaser effect subtly sitting in the tone background? 🤔 🙂
yep, great ear...yeah just a kinda subtle phaser in the on a couple of these
What about Disco Lady by Johnnie Taylor. That was Bootsy and Catfish. That is the funkiest guitar part of all time.
That was GG I believe
Bootsy, Glen Goins, and Bernie Worrell
Great Stuff for my call and response exercise with skanky strumming and picking
glad you dig it!
Right on brother 🎸🏴
Thank you!
Catfish should have had his own solo album.
Woo Hoo...dancen so hard I spilled my coffee...Great work Brudda!
lol, right on :)
You GOTTA listen to STRETCHIN' OUT!! His guitar part makes the song SUPER funky!!!
Catfish-Mon was INCREDIBLE!!!👑💙💯🤘🏿🖤⚘️👏🏿🕊🙏🏾
@@charlescarr2869 yes indeed!!
Lavish! Love it, thank you!
thank you Allan!
So good. I struggled with these.
Bootzilla broke me.😵
haha, yeah, that one is no joke Jim :)
Great video and that guitar is beautiful, what spec is it?
Thanks Paul, this is a handmade Russell Fong from California, please search my channel for a detailed video interview with the builder
Great video thanks for sharing! BTW are those Joe Barden pickups in your tele?
Thank you, and yep they are the Joe Barden Danny Gatton set
That's FUNKenstein... anyhoo great video!
Thanks for this one.
Thanks for watching!
Real cool!
Thank you!
Thanks dude
Thanks for watching!
Where are the backing tracks from Rick? Great drums ....
Most of the drums were from the yurt rock Clyde Stubblefield tracks
Hi Rick. Another great lesson!!! I have a question: I'm a premium member (and loving it!!), but I cannot view any content in the extra area. Such as your live performances, or live the workshops. I didn't see how to reach you on the site. Hope you can help. Thanks!!
Hi Bill, glad you dig the lesson. Please email me at tastyguitarlessons@gmail.com with screenshots of the issue and I'll look into it asap
Ok, thanks Rick!
Very nice
Thanks!
What pickups are those? Also, thank you! This is great, i have to learn these licks now. Just discovered Catfish. He’s soooo damn tight!
Thanks for watching! These are Joe Barden Danny Gatton's
Your right hand technique is gold!
thank you Matthew!
For sure. I’m noting the velocity and aggressive attack to really bring out the scratch. Helpful to see this and thank you for sharing these lessons.
what city is that in the background?
Bangkok
Have you scars on your fingers, how did you do that? Great lesson. Always like you funk ones, you really have it to a tee.
Um, maybe you are seeing shadows? no scars on my fingers that I'm aware of
What phase make are you using? A 90?
Nope this was one inside the helix stomp xl
who plays the drums on Bootzilla?
some stanky riffs right there 🔥
Thanks!
hy

Flashlight!
Haha great tune!
Just waiting for Spiderman to swing by the window
as I will filming this there were actually guys out there repairs, swingin from ropes 35 floors up, yikes!
I can smell it👏
Thank you!
Phelps wuddn't no joke.
Phelps "Catfish" Collins and The Brides of Funkenstein...But otherwise bravo little brother.
Oops, right I did say Frankenstein lol, but I did say Phelps in the video intro
Wow is that a Tele body with an SSS setup? damn that’s sexy who the hell makes that
This was made for me by Russell Fong, a builder in California
Technically speaking, Flashlight was by Funkadelic not Parliament. But I'm being picky 😄
Flashlight is on the Parliament Placebo Syndrome Album
@@robjpooleiv6985 damn, I just lost a stripe 😔 sad 😄
Just what makes that funk? That's like what is on rock, too.
I wanted to hear Catfish play not you Elvis.😀😂💀
Seriously what.s your rig set up? Could.not see.the.name.brand of your.guitar.
This is a Russell Fong custom made in Cali. Straight in a Magnatone varsity reverb amp
Great job bro, Keeping bootsie and catfish out of Cincinnati Ohio on the map And given those 2 cats all the recognition they deserve, so many people don't realize The musician ship That went into the funkadelics All the parliaments played so well together It can never be duplicated I think they were aliens....
Make my funk, the p-funk
Brides of FUNKENSTEIN, let's get our funk correct here 🤦♂️😅
