Description

Check out the tracks covered in this volume of funk play-along tracks and tabs! From Rick James “Super Freak,” to The Meters “Cissy Strut,” to the Red Hot Chili Peppers version of “Higher Ground,” the influence and reach of funk music gets touched on throughout this volume.

Using the CD to first hear how the bass parts should be played, then the tabs to get the correct fingerings and patterns, and finally putting it all together with the separate backing tracks, filling in the iconic bass lines yourself!

Using this book you could be playing “Brick House” by the Commodores in no time, up to speed with the original recording.

Learning these lines the way they we’re originally recorded and articulated will give you insight and experience into playing other funk songs. Stating here with this book of funk music, the entire genre and influence that comes after will begin to open up. There’s no better way to master a genre or style than to play the classic hits, and no other book will get you there faster for these tunes!

Pick up a copy of the Hal Leonard Bass Play-along Funk Vol. 5, and start internalising the funk groove that survives through these great hits.
