Added some Useful Tutorials about G-Funk Beatmaking and Lead Synthesis

 

great! Yesterday after seeing this thread, I saw videos about G-Funk and similar genres. I like to merge styles, but there are many that I don't know their "essence". So, it's good that you have put tutorials, and also in Spanish, great, since I speak Spanish.

Because, I was trying to achieve that Syth sound, and I was looking for presets, and presets, but then I realized that it's not just about the presets, but also the style that gives that "touch" to the instrument.
So this will come in very handy.

Added Some More Stuff but could not attach it to the main Post as only 12 Videos per Post are allowed.

Thank you so much for the Feedback @Ryck if this helps some people gettin into that Kind of Music i'm Happy with it, because when i started it would have been cool to have something like this to have a starting Point. And Today this Grene is more a Niche Product.
So Let's Keep the G-Funk Alive

I'm making an G-Funk Beat for this Thread and will share the FLP when it's finished for better learning and understanding and maybe people can post their own Versions of the Track here also.
