Summary of This Method
This method offers a generous repertoire of 25 decidedly funky bass lines, designed to help you improve by playing. Each groove is crafted to develop essential techniques for the style: articulation, consistency, accentuation, management of rests, and especially rhythmic placement which makes all the difference in a good bass groove.
Beyond the riffs, you also work on music "like in a band": the pieces rely on complete structures with different sections, cues, and repetitions. An excellent way to learn to stay solid throughout an arrangement, count accurately, and maintain the same energy level from one section to another.
To facilitate learning, the method is supported by multimedia materials: videos (mp4) present all the bass lines at real speed and in slow motion, played over their backing tracks to clearly visualize fingerings and phrasing. The audios (mp3) provide the corresponding playbacks, at two tempos, allowing you to gradually practice and then play the bass part over them, or to freely develop your own accompaniments.
Finally, the stylistic universe is clearly embraced: these grooves are inspired by the funk of James Brown and the aesthetic of many heirs of the genre (Maceo Parker, Funkadelic, The Commodores, Parliament, Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Prince). An ideal foundation to enrich your funk bass playing and gain ease in musical situations close to the stage and studio.
