I want to learn a good funk song anyone have any suggestions I'm having a hard time thinking of many other than Brickhouse and I don't even remember what the guitar part sounds like.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Superstition is a good one, not sure if its funk or not. I don't know much about funk, but I would call that song funky :D
"Contrary to popular belief, Clapton is NOT God. The prospect that he is God probably had a large hand in driving him to drugs and booze. Thanks everyone."
-Guitar World :lol:
get some james brown, some pfunk.
How about "Super Freak" by Rick James?
Otherwise, check out some James Brown, George Clinton, or even Prince.

Superfreak that's a good one, I was thinking about "I feel good" by JB also

You wouldn't have any tab for any of those especially for play that funky music or super Freak would you?

+1 for Super Freak - it is a great funk song, known by almost everyone!
Anything by Geoge Clinton; here's a good place to start:
Sly & the Family Stone:

Rick James, Chaka Khan, etc, etc. That should give you a place to start exploring!
Wow I must be gettin old or something I just listened to Super Freak and I can't even hear a guitar, it sounds like it's all bass to me but maybe that's the guitar. Am I hearing things or is it mostly a bass groove?

Sorry, I don't have any. Got a great bass transcription for Rock Steady though. :)

Do the Beck, Bogart, Appice version of Stevie Wonder's Superstition...
It's more rewarding if you learn it without the tab.
