Les Claypool Like Riff
This is a Les Claypool type riff. It's pretty sweet, though it doesn't go to well with drums because this solo was originally written without them. Enjoy and send feedback!

Slap/Hammeron Riff
This is a really cool slap riff that can repeat indefinitely and not be boring because there's enough to it. Plus, there's a lot of room for improv inside it.

RiffRaffSlapBack
This is a pretty straight-forward funk, slap line in "A". I put it in intermediate because of the change up high. I like it at 90, but to each his own

Outro For Any Band
This is to be played at 120. I use this in my church band on Sunday's. Have your guitar(s) play the same thing you do and your keyboard player play whole notes against what you are doing. "Talk about sweet"!

A Mixolydian / E Dorian Bass Groove

I wrote this once, and it didn't save, so I had to rewrite it. I need to take a little more care with these lines when I write them...hence the title. Funk the groove, cradle the groove, do what you like with this one.... It's saved now
