Summary of This Method
With Funk Keyboards - The Complete Method, dive into the heart of funk language applied to keyboards and develop a solid, precise, and groovy playing style. This method from the Master Class Series guides you through the elements that make all the difference: the choice of chords and harmonic colors, the most common progressions, as well as the typical rhythmic placements that instantly deliver the funk "bounce."
Throughout the chapters, you explore classic funk rhythms, licks, and patterns to enrich your vocabulary and gain ease in various musical situations. The method also covers very current concepts such as bass synth playing, the use of multiple keyboards in an arrangement, and essential expression techniques (including the pitch wheel and modulation ) to add character to your parts.
To solidify your learning, access to the online audio (via a unique code in the book) allows you to work with 81 full band tracks. Thanks to PLAYBACK+, you can tailor your practice to your level: slow down without altering pitch, create loops to repeat tricky passages, change key to transpose, or pan left/right to better isolate certain elements.
