After several years of playing the guitar I realized that going back to basics was a necessity. I kinda jumped right into learning other people's songs and never really mastered the basics. So when I saw how this book was laid out with all the rhythmic exercises, it appealed to me. Also, funk is a style of guitar that interests me - among others. I bought this book for the exercises and going through it has greatly improved my playing. One of the nice things about this book is that the exercises, once mastered, can be applied to almost any style of guitar. Another nice thing is that the exercises are laid out logically, but simple enough in structure that a raw beginner can play them as well. If you want to get a better grasp of basics and just plain have some fun, then get this book. The price is certainly reasonable for all you get.
Just started this book. I had actually bought Joseph's Guitar Fretboard Fluency and found that so well done that I decided to buy this as well. I am using it the way it was written so so far I have been gradually increasing my 16th note strumming and picking to 120BPM...I'm only at 74BPM so far...Having flipped through the pages, I am certain this is going to be a very good book. Doesn't happen overnight but I'm sure this book will really help my playing!
This is the 6th book I've purchased by Joseph Alexander and it didn't disappoint. I've never before been able to find a great funk guitar theory book. Since the Red Hot Chili Peppers are my favorite band, I learned the songs but never had a real good understanding of the theory behind the Funk guitar fretboard until now. Thank you!
This will be my 4 th book. I've been playing for 30 plus years and never really understood the fret board as I should.All these courses have opened up my eyes and my improv skills have improved . I take a little from each book at a time. Probably shouldgo thru one book completely. My method is working for me so far. At present I'm in the Exotic Pentatonic course. Good learning.Glad I found these. Even if you can't read like me they still are very helpful.
Another great book by Joseph. This makes book 8 for me. I took a chance on Funk Guitar Mastery since funk is not my normal cup of tea. After making my way through the first half of the book I quickly realized this was great information that I could really use. Everything was written in an easy to follow method (per usual) and packed with great examples to follow along with. I definitely look forward to learning more techniques from Joseph outside of my normal comfort zone.
This book clearly and concisely covers a topic I was never able to get under my fingers, literally! It begins with the very basic rhythm structure and works its way up to the more advanced types used in real-world funk playing. If you can't follow the figures, the audio tracks provided do the trick. All in all, I highly recommend this and any of Joseph's books as they truly deliver as promised.
I have been looking for a source of information that would help me improve my playing ability in funk and R&B music. I wanted to improve my rhythm playing and articulate fills within this style of music. Funk Guitar Mastery is the perfect source. It breaks down every aspect of the style and highlights the fundamentals required to authentically play in the funk style. The examples are thorough and expertly arranged. The backing tracks excellent for helping to re-enforce the technique being examined. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting improve their guitar playing in the funk genre.
If you’ve been wanting to get into funk, this is a good place to start. It covers rhythm, funk “vocabulary,” chord techniques and embellishments you can add to chords to make them funky. Alexander provides advice on getting the right tone with the right gear. There is also a nice list of 30-40 “Recommended Listening” albums that help define the funk genre.I dinged one star only because of the quality of the paper and ink. It's good, but not as sharp as books published by, say, Hal Leonard or Berklee Press. Consequently, the diagrams are a little bit fuzzy. This is a minor problem and certainly wouldn't stop me from recommending the book.
