Summary of This Book
Dive into the heart of Oakland's "horn-heavy" sound with this collection dedicated to bassists who want to play funk with precision, character, and rhythmic solidity. This Play It Like It Is Bassedition gathers fifteen essential tracks by Tower of Power, carefully transcribed in standard notation and tablature, allowing you to approach each bass line from the clearest and most musical perspective.
The content emphasizes the fundamentals that define the band's signature: relentless groove, placement, articulation, syncopated riffs, ghost notes, and the typical funk-soul phrasing. You will find iconic tracks such as "What Is Hip," "Soul Vaccination," "You're Still A Young Man," "So Very Hard To Go," and "Down To The Nightclub." This is perfect for working on consistency, precision, and endurance while developing expressive and effective playing in a band setting.
Fully authorized by Tower of Power, this book is aimed at bassists seeking reliable transcriptions for learning, reviewing, or preparing covers. The introduction by Francis Rocco Prestia also provides inspiring insight into the groove approach and the spirit in which these bass lines were conceived.
