Product Description
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, this indispensable guide will show you how to master the art of the groove! GIT instructor Ross Bolton has developed a clear, concise method that unravels the tricks and techniques at the heart of the unmistakable funk guitar sound. After laying down the fundamentals, he moves on to cover the finer points: swing/straight 16th rhythm patterns, "hip-hop" grooves, classic funk chord voicings, single-note "bubble picking," "skank" playing, and much more. You will learn to play both traditional and contemporary rhythm guitar parts in the styles of James Brown, Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince, and many others. Split-screen closeups magically dissolve into live performances to show how the techniques are applied. Never before has this essential style been so thoughtfully organized and presented.

"Ross' funk instruction has been generating a lot of excitement here at M.I. His method has proven itself time and again for our students, and now finally translated to video... truly an amazing piece of work."
