i saw this song live at my music school with my music teachers backing him up. When he plays he touches every fret on the guitar. pretty amazing how he looks at music. All he cares about is groove lol
i've met Oz and was lucky enough to learn a thing or 2 (or more) from him, the vast majority of his stuff is 4/4. he is also one of the coolest and funniest dudes you could ever meet
Can't deny the pure genius of the original. Very simple with a lot of holes to fill. Gives covers much latitude. These guys turned funk into jazz by doing just that. The Meters were the best at their craft, inventing things that resonate to this day. Being from NOLA I had the chance to see them many times in my youth. Great times in a great city.
I've never seen John Medeski make a satisfied face like he does during your solo Oz (3:58). Man oh man your chops are just so damn on point. Truly inspiring man, many many thanks for sharing this footage.

Always great to here a faithful, note for note rendition of a classic. 😂 seriously though, just love the little twists, turns and stutters, with a healthy tip of the hat to the original.
It’s like Steve Hillage meets New Orleans to begin with. Great meaty stuff. The video producer needs to brush up on his/her continuity……the number of tee shirt changes by the bassist! Seriously, I loved this take on a classic piece of funk.
Excellent playing and twist on the chords! Was not a fan of the time signature change, but it was definitely interesting and different (I did like how it eventually resolves to the original groove: 7/8 + 9/8 = 16/8 or two bars of 4/4). To each their own.
@jcostello69 As i said before. Counting it that way only fools the head. it is a 4/4 like you said so count it as a 4/4 and learn how the ups and downs land. That is the whole Idea behind funk. To dance around the beat and not to make a strange beat, if you want that you have to listen to some more progressive stuff:P
This is awesome, man! The Meters is such an inspiration and this is such a creative version of the song. I absolutely love it! Too hear this live would be so cool. Are you ever coming to Sweden och maybe Copenhagen some time soon? / Jonnie, Gylf.
what would be the fun of covering a song if you can't try to make it your own? I mean if they simply played it how it already is, it would be easier to just listen to the original...
1 bar of 4/4, 1 bar of 7/8, 1 bar of 9/8, 1 bar of 4/4. There's different ways to sub-divide/count it but that's how i think of it to contain it bar-by-bar.
@@s98715 go work this out with a band. 15 mins of rehearsal If you explain the melody in 4/4 7/8 9/8 4/4. It'd take hours to get everyone on the same page in 4/4. Cheers
what you were trying to do is plug all your learning material damn bro I'll probably been playing guitar longer than you I'm not putting you down your accomplish musician but it doesn't seem that you were trying to put me down I will go in the studio and redo that song and I guarantee if you get back on my website hear it after the studio you will be blown away then you will be apologizing for sending me all that learning material on my website best of luck Wayne
@aleifhamdan i would say 6/8 6/8 3/8 6/8 7/8 4/8 but there is no sence since its the easyest to just count 4/4 and try to understand how the funk feel works in that way.
Why NOT rearrange something? Rules can hold people back from being creative if you don't remember that you can break them. but I do love the original version!
Dave Schachne Depends on which musician you're using as a frame of reference. The drums are 4/4 throughout the hook with snare hits on 2, 4 and the & of 4. You could notate it otherwise but it seems silly to do that. The rest of the musicians parts in the hook could be notated in 4/4 with displaced melodies or 1 of a bunch of mixed meter options.
hey I just watched your video because you commented on my lil video on UA-cam and got to tell you bro not impressed you see i also play jazz no money in it bro what's impressive that I've got so many hits and it hasn't even been up but a week and a half to maybe is the shredding I did bro 100 32nd notes bro and I didn't have effects on my guitar like you do little gain from a little fender champ x2 and my cellphone that's it see what you were trying to do is plug all this
CISSY STRUT AT THE OLD AGE HOME, NOT READY FOR IT YET. LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS, ITS GOT THE SOUND THESSE GUYS ARE INSPIRED BY. NOT YOUR BEST GROVE ANTON, SUPRISED ME. YES I TO CAN PLAY THE S____, OUT OF DRUMS TOO. BUT WOULD PROBBIBLY USE ALOT OF 32S AND 1/4S ON BASS DRUM WITH FLAMS TRIPLETS AND SOME TASTY 16THS NOW AND THEN. ALWAYS LIKED YOUR DRUMMING....KEEP ROCKIN.....
@vampolka, check out Jeff Beck. And he doesn't need all the pedals. Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Steve Hackett, Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. Etc., etc.. Life's much too short to listen to this guy when there are so many great guitarists out there.
This guy is supposed to be some new guitar god? Nice song, well played. Could've been played just as well by 1000 other nameless guitarists. The bar seems so much lower since New York City took over 100% of our culture in the U.S., doesn't it?
Lol this comment is so far off base w regard to Oz its ridiculous. He IS a monster player, wouldn't put him in the top 5 of all time but of recent times? He's w/o a doubt one of the best blues/funk guitarists around. No question
Just discovered Mr. Noy this week and now I'm obsessed. Such a great mix of chops and feel. Pure fun.
Keyboard solo so nice, had to listen twice.
i saw this song live at my music school with my music teachers backing him up. When he plays he touches every fret on the guitar. pretty amazing how he looks at music. All he cares about is groove lol
Is that Will Lee !!!???
Fastest guitar player in the west..... he managed to put his sweatshirt on in the space between the A and B sections..... now that’s a novel trick.
This is so dope.
Anton Fig on the drum.....magnifico!
i've met Oz and was lucky enough to learn a thing or 2 (or more) from him, the vast majority of his stuff is 4/4. he is also one of the coolest and funniest dudes you could ever meet
Oz Noy's Guitar tone is just sick...
yes it's great! :-)
He's got his Tele too bright for my tastes, especially in this small 4-pc. ensemble. The wah solo is pretty cool tho'.
yep, you are right, they shift twice or so. nicely done, didnt realize it until simply counted.
Fantastic!
l'm always ready to go to the Land of Oz Noy !
How dare you mess with the rhythm like this! I love it!!!
Unbelievably good, THANK YOU!
Somebody buy these guys a quarter note.
I love John Medeski!
Drummer and bassist holding that groove down big time 🤙🔥🔥🔥🔥
"The World's most Dangerous Rhythm Section "
Fig and Lee
fantastic

Warning to all you wedding DJ's out there: This may not be the best version of this song to play for the first dance.

Very nice, indeed. Heard the show on WKCR last night and loved this groove.
RIP Ralph MacDonald you will be missed. :(

This is so cool!
great stuff man. dig the added wah my man. sounds great.
John medeski on organ. Love the time games here.
This is my new personal theme song......
your just to cool...I love all your stuff...
I think i watched this video at least 40 times
That was the best use of a wah I ever heard except maybe Huron River Blues by Steve Morse
A lot of it is a voice box filter on the M13 I think. He uses lots of those filters.

it's just straight 4/4 the whole time. no time signature change.

@@collinsmith6565 it's just syncopation. there's no time signature change...
This is bad-ass for sure. Great Band.
As Ray Charles once told his drummer. "That drum beat is part of history, you can't go fucking with that."
The Meters !
that was overly tight! (not a complaint!)
Who Dat On da bas ? Will ?
Nice....

Show !
good stuff
Wasn't this song Aerosmith's inspiration for Last Child?
Play witth Greg Koch that's all im saying
@DrummerRF yes, but the guitar, organ and bass give off the impression of a 7/8 is what i mean.
yes sir!
it is not. they cut one beat at the end of the first part of the theme. everything else is in 4/4
@teerexness Check out his version of Blue Monk, or his original What Love Is.
Hi Graham,
I think Oz use a Crybaby mod. by Ziv Nagari.
Greeting from Germany
What kind of wah is he using? It sounds so vocal.
like yea.
what would be the fun of covering a song if you can't try to make it your own? I mean if they simply played it how it already is, it would be easier to just listen to the original...
He plays the Potato tonight Aug 28th
which wah-wah is he using?
5.5/4 time on the head?

is that Garth on bass lool
wtf time is that?
Keyboard player could be related to Bill Burr! LOL
we get it, you like Hendrix
Negev Orleans.
Why NOT rearrange something? Rules can hold people back from being creative if you don't remember that you can break them. but I do love the original version!
It's not a wah. It's an envelope filter/follower. Kind of an Auto-Wah
There is difference in bars 2 and 4,bar 2 is 7/8 and bar 4 is 9/8.Great metric variation,it take song on another level... Bravo Mr Noy
+mr daddy or its in 4/4 with the melody displaced...
Naw, the hook in this tune is not played in 4 as far as I can count.

@mmwphan it's actually easier to count it 4/4 the whole way, like the drumbeat, its just that he inserts two 7/8s to give that f*cked up feeling
Lost it in the clever displacement.
Ya dont have to dance to enjoy music???
Mostly because to me what they did rearrange (rewrite) was only done to make it different not better.
@aleifhamdan I see not how you can count a 7/8 in this song. There is only 4/4.

Why rearrange something that was perfect to start with. Just write a new song..
