What you get
• Tone‑taming mix guide
• Lyric scene prompts

Build pocket first funk that snaps from rehearsal to stage. Design riffs that stick, bass lines that argue sweetly with the kick, and horn hits that feel like high fives. Arrange space so vocals breathe and every part earns its spot. Deliver mixes with chewy mids, tight lows, and clear air.

• Interlocking drum and bass patterns with ghost notes
• Guitar chank, clav grids, and syncopation drills
• Horn voicings that punch without crowding the hook
• Vamp to chorus forms that light up crowds fast
• Breaks, stops, and countable cues for live sets

You get: Riff banks, horn stacks, set flow guides, and mix checklists. Outcome: Grooves that make the room move on command.
