The Soul & Funk Music Recommendation Thread

hey I'm looking for funk recommendations, specifically guitar driven funk. Im a pretty big chili peppers fan, and I'm looking for other funk(y) bands where the guitar plays a major role, as opposed to having a big horn section

Check out the song Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. You have to skip ahead a minute or two, but it's essentially a ten minute funk/soul guitar solo by Eddie Hazel. Everything I learned about funk guitar started there. Actually, everything on the album Maggot Brain is a good place to start. Also, I'd check out Eric Krasno or Will Bernard.

Men on the chessboard are a new up and coming funk band that I think are heavily influenced by the chilli peppers.
