Post New Video - Fun with a Funk Classic - Kevin Keith
Hello everyone!

I've been having some fun playing some old school funk tunes and decided to capture it to video. Here's a short video of a classic tune, this one actually works well on Stick.
Lot of fun to play!

Thank you very much!
You can't see it in the video but my Stick has a Roland GK-3 synth pickup fitted on the bass strings. The envelope filter sound is coming a Roland VB99 bass guitar synthesizer.

VB99's are wonderful units and the filters and synth engines are super responsive to Stick playing. Sadly the units are discontinued, expensive and becoming rare.

I own 4 Roland guitar synths - I'm a serious junkie for the Roland 13 pin technology!

Thank you so much for watching!

Kevin

Ah. That makes sense now. My first thought was that there pretty much had to be a synth involved but I couldn't see the usual extra damper strip that MIDI equiped Stick typically have. However, that's usually on the lightest strings on the melody side; maybe it's not needed if the GK-3 is on the bass side?

Wow, Kevin! You never cease to inspire with your relentless pursuit of expression on the Stick. Keep it up! Very musical and inspiring.
