LIVE FROM FLAT V by Josh Smith
LET IT RING
Last time, Josh Smith started teaching his tune “Triple J Hoedown,” specifically the version from the Live at the Spud album. The lesson made it all the way up to almost the bridge, which leads the way into a long unison lick, played by both guitar and bass, which is then followed by the funk section of the tune. So, as a composition, we transition from “bluegrass-fusion” to a funk groove.

00:02 Alright, Josh Smith here again. Last month we started talking about my tune "Triple J Hodown,"
00:10 the version from "Live at the Spud" album, and we made it all the way up to almost the bridge.
00:16 We were working our way towards this big, long unison lick that gets played,
00:21 and we lean into the funk section of the song, so we kind of transition from bluegrass fusion, I guess,
00:27 into kind of a funk groove, and we played this big ascending lick.
00:32 So from there we go back to the intro.
00:52 [music]
00:54 Then we play this big lick.
01:06 So that's a big walk-up lick, kind of similar to the earlier one, but it starts on C.
01:18 [music]
01:20 Then we play that syncopated lick, leading to F, we're modulating to F. So here it is slow.
01:31 So we're basically walking up through the scale, and then we play this...
01:47 C to F thing four times.
01:49 And here I know that goes crazy.
01:54 And then we head over to F.
02:01 I'd normally have the Leslie off for that section, and we get into kind of the funky section.
02:15 Travis Carlton playing bass like a mofo in that section.
02:19 We vamp on the F, and then we get into the drum solo section, which I'm not going to tab out for you,
02:25 but we basically play this phrase.
02:27 And Gary plays drums through that.
02:37 And basically we work our way out of it, back into the bluegrass phrase.
02:41 [music]
02:43 And then we're up to my solo, which is like an open section over the key of G,
02:52 where a lot goes on, and maybe we should do that in the next column.
02:57 [music]
02:59 [music]
03:01 (upbeat music)
