Summary: Let The Funk Begin
Rating: 5
If you've never played Funk guitar, you will when you're done with this book! I have to disagree when anyone that says this book is not for beginners. The chords and rhythm grooves on the CD are exactly what beginners need to stay interested in chords, chord progressions and structure. It will also please the ears of parents and other nearby listeners. There is more to the fretboard than shredding you know. Once you start getting the basics of this book underway, I strongly suggest listening to some James Brown, Tower of Power, Funkadelic (the sixties stuff), Rick James, Prince (the beginnings) and The Meters (Cissy Strut).
There is some very good stuff in this book!
Summary: Wish I knew it before!
Rating: 5
The exercises are to the point and lead you to a perfect sense of rythm.
Summary: Very good stuff
Rating: 4
this is a nice book, it starts with some basic (but useful) 16ths exercises then moves on to some very cool grooves, the CD tracks although basic do sound professional, something I appreciated ... you'd think the grooves here are easy but they are not, they are simple but not easy at all if you want to play them like Mr. Bolton does on the CD (he plays pretty much on top of the beat & he has great timing) ... most funk tricks you hear are explained here, scratching, skanks, slides, muting, funky shuffle feels ... I would have liked more exercises to develop the other rhythmic figures in this book but overall it's very good
Summary: a good basic book
Rating: 3
This is a good basic book for people who like to play funky music. After finishing it, I liked to find more about this kind of music. The audio CD is 100 % OK and very instructive. The book is thin and essential, it goes rather fast, and I think it is not suitable for beginners on the guitar.
But most important of all : you can just play along, and playing is the essential in music.
Summary: Great starting point for the funk!
Rating: 5
I have never played funk music before - thanks to this book, now I have a clue and I'm having fun playing along with the tracks on the CD of this outstanding method. The exercises are truly useful and build gradually your funk chops from the scratch (no pun intended).
The book is much easier if you already know about dominant chords, but it does not require advanced playing.
Verry fun and instructive! A great book!




Thank you very much!
