Pat Petrillo  /  UPDATED Aug 19, 2022

“Brooklyn Phunk” is a song written by Pat Petrillo (with Oz Noy on guitar and James Genis on bass) that features a smooth blend of rock, funk, blues, and a New Orleans influenced sound. The goal of this play-along is to get you playing in that “in-between” straight and swung feel. Make sure you download the MP3 tracks below and the two notated drum beats!
