I've been playing 25 years and have recently got into playing funk. I purchased this book plus others including Funk/R&BGuitar Thaddeus Hogarth, New Orleans Funk Guitar Shane Theriot, Funkmasters Allan Slutsky/Chuck Silverman and Funk play along Hal Leonard.I've still to work my way through all of these but I would say that Funk Guitar by Ross Bolton would be a great first purchase as it's nicely laid out and easy to follow. Very often I think books can be overwhelming with the amount of material and really act more like reference books but Bolton's book is very achievable and realistic.This book took me about a day to go through BUT I've been playing a while and still found it very useful. I would say it's a good beginners/intermediates book but of course if you've never got into funk then irrespective of how long you've been playing this would still be a good starting point.Of the others I purchased, my initial thoughts in order of favourtism are 1)Thaddeus Hogarth 2)Shane Theriot then Funkmasters and lastly Play along Hal LeonardHope this helps!!Pat Quelch (guitar teacher High Wycombe!!!)

Not for me.

Not a very good book at all the play along example s are too short , and they Is no list of tracks on cd or the book complete waste of time and money do not buy this

Terrible artículo.Me sirve porque tengo un maestro, pero al venir sin el código de acceso para bajar los audios de internet, resulta una porquería

Excelente pra quem deseja aprender o estilo.

Essenziale nel contenuto scritto, le tracce audio sono accessibili online: tanti esempi, tanti spunti

Excelente libro

This is a great Funk Rhythm primer. It's basically about rhythm and chords, but it does a very good job with it. And so many guitarists start with notes and lines that their rhythm work is weak. If this is you then it's a great book. But if it's single line work you want I would suggest something in the Blues You Can Use series. I think those are great packages. Nevertheless, this is a substantial practice tool and you can learn a lot and really progress with something like this. If you're an absolute beginner this might be a bit much for you, but if you can play some chords and songs in time, and want to move ahead with your playing, there's a lot inside.
