## Resource

Legendary P-Funk guitarist Michael "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton joins us to talk about his early days learning to play music, the important nuances that are buried within the grooves of "Maggot Brain" and how he got his head around the song --- and we also talk about his new music, which you can find at michaelhampton.bandcamp.com. It was a real pleasure to get some hang time with Michael and we hope that you enjoy this conversation!
