I know...yup

OK, but why? Still do not grasp the term - as it is used without discernment in so many unrelated contexts. Why, for example is it not "goodass"?

@@BlueBeeMCMLXI There's a chance you're overthinking it.

Bet you couldn't funk your way out of wet paper bag if your life depended on it. The rhythms my little wizzl. They are complex and difficult to render. But you wouldn't know that, cuz you can't hear it or feel it. Or play it. Stay with your mind-blowingly complicated prog rock and 12 tone composition or new age muzak or whatever it is you do. Much safer for you there. IT takes the a different kind of ability to funk and create interesting statements over a static one chord thing. Some can do it, some can't. The ones that can, Miles Davis called in the 70's 80's. Guys like Herbie Hancock Chick Corea Keith Jarrett Robin Ford John Scofield. Guys that can do "simple" and complex, simultaneously, This is a James Brown joint, and Marc is not going for a fully fused out extra dark and jazzy , very altered sound like Miles's 70's stuff, but it is the same ballpark, and with the same intention and spirit. To reach people with some easy to listen to, funky improvised music. to entertain a wider audience with a bit more accessible "jazz". Accessible is not necessarily boring or overly simple. It depends on the purveyor. What could you give us over a static dominant chord groove? Not much I'll bet. I bet you own r shit is boring as f--k and nobody listens to it. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe your shit is awesome and I'll eat my words. Go ahead. Give us a link. Put your money where your petty words come from. Your smack talking mouth. Put up or shut up. Let's hear you dazzling and complex melodies. come on with it .We're waiting with baited breath,

Guess your comment pertains to players we have been graced to hear or see over the era of recorded music. But those are the foundations of musicality that you name. Many guitarists possess them across many styles.
