Description

Understand and Easily Master Funk Rhythm Guitar

This 104 page, detailed guitar method builds the rhythmic and melodic skills you need to become an excellent funk guitar player.

Funk Guitar Mastery contains 169 Audio Examples and 12 Backing Tracks from Quist so that you can hear and apply every single idea in the book.

Build and Understand Funk Rhythms to Develop Great Musical Feel

Funk Guitar Mastery focuses on developing the rhythmic and technical skills needed to develop and understand how a funk guitar part functions and sits in the band. As proficiency is developed, funky chords, riffs, techniques and approaches are added to get you grooving like a pro.

Great Musical Feel is Developed Through Great Musical Practice

Funk is a music based on rhythm and feel. Long periods of static chord vamps come alive by the use of subtle and varied musical techniques, and these techniques must be built on a foundation of rock-solid rhythmic control.

To build the rhythmic skills needed to play tight funk guitar (or indeed, any music), guitarists must learn to accurately perform almost any rhythm on the guitar before learning how to sit tightly in the groove of the song.

Funk Guitar Mastery Develops Perfect Rhythm from the Ground Up

The first half of Funk Guitar Mastery focuses on developing tight, accurate rhythm skills from first principles. For guitarists, funk is a music that is all about playing accurate and groovy 1/16th notes. Every possible pattern of 1/16th notes is addressed and then combined into original and authentic funk guitar parts. Essential skills such as scratches, rests, triplets and chord stabs are also introduced.

The second half of the book introduces the vital elements of groove, chord embellishments (such as adding slides and melody notes), chord progressions, riff based ideas and improvisation.

Both halves combine seamlessly to develop creative, musical and interesting funk guitar parts. Throughout, the emphasis is on listening to, and locking in with the bass and drums to help you form a tight, functional, grooving rhythm section.

Funk Guitar Mastery:

  • Understand and develop excellent funk rhythm guitar skills
  • Over 160 notated examples with audio
  • 12 backing tracks
  • Chords, riffs, progressions and scales
  • Learn to improvise your own funk guitar parts
  • Lock in with the bass and drums to ‘Play in the Pocket’
  • Practice and tone tips

All the backing tracks have been made by the legendary Quist, they’re fun and funky and will keep you jamming all night!
