I’ve had an idea about a song based on an old funky jazz standard. Several months ago I had temporarily programmed the rhythm into my drum machine, but gave up on the tune after I realized it was probably beyond my capabilities to copy it effectively as a solo piece. Now I’m thinking of just stealing the rhythm (and maybe one or two signature riffs from the song) and creating my own tune around it. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to work it out in time for this weekend’s performance.
