Summary of This Method
Ross Bolton: Funk Guitar - The Essential Guide is a guide dedicated to funk guitar, designed for intermediate guitarists who want to structure their rhythmic playing and gain confidence in the typical patterns of the style. In the spirit of modern "real playing" oriented training, this method emphasizes efficiency: a solid rhythm, a clean sound, and a steady groove feel, essential for playing in a band.
Funk requires great discipline: sixteenth-note placement, alternating accents, management of rests and muted notes, right-hand control, as well as good coordination with the left hand to achieve clean attacks. This method supports you in consolidating these fundamentals to make your accompaniments more precise and more "danceable," without weighing down the playing.
Whether you play electric guitar in a rhythm position, in a band context or in a home studio, the goal is to achieve a stable pulse and a controlled sound capable of supporting a rhythm section. By practicing regularly, you will be able to enrich your funk vocabulary, better manage chord changes, and develop a more musical dynamic (ghost notes, intensity variations, breathing), while staying in service of the groove.
