At
last, bass players around the world are allowed a rare,in-depth look
into the amazing style and technique of one of the most influential
electric bassists ever. In a logical step-by-step approach, Tower
of Power bassist Rocco Prestia
clearly explains his percussive "ghosting & muting" techniques
and demonstrates the importance of creating a "balanced" bass
line. Twelve Tower of Power tunes are used to illustrate his
approach to funk & half-time shuffles, straight-8th, 16th-note
and 12/8 funk, ballads and more. Each example is presented in
it's fundamental form, then he elaborates one step at a time so you
can see firsthand how a bass line for a particular groove is created.
Split-screen close-up studio demonstrations magically dissolve into
live T.O.P. performances specially filmed for this video. The detailed
booklet allows you to play along with such classics as "What is
Hip," "Soul Vaccination," "You're Still a Young Man" and many
others. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to sit in with one
of the true masters of R&B/funk bass! Running Time: 78 minutes "Our
