If you're spellbound but mystified by funk guitar, you'll dig this
video. Not only can Bolton play greasy grooves, he's able to break
out funk's elements and explain how they mesh. With a relaxed delivery,
this GIT instructor walks you step by step from basics to burn. You
learn pick-hand scratching, fret-hand muting, essential chord shapes,
single-note riffing, double-stop fills, tri-tone licks, and how to
create both static and moving lines. Bolton demonstrates the difference
between straight and swing sixteenth-note grooves and addresses many
funk styles, including rhythms inspired by James Brown, Kool & the
Gang and Prince. Tips on practicing, getting good tone, and developing
strong time round out this excellent package. A pass key to the exciting
world of funk guitar. |

"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." |
