OUTTA SIGHT FUNK AND R&B RIFFS FOR BASS
View		Unfortunately, we have sold through the last of our inventory of this title, and it is not a part of our present inventory. Outta Sight Funk and R&B Riffs for Bass is designed to help bass players and also keyboard players improve their bass playing technique with a wide range of different Funk riffs and grooves. The book starts off with easier examples and gradually increases in difficulty as the examples become more syncopated. While living in London during his early 20’s Andrew had the opportunity of developing his Funk & R&B skills by playing or jamming with musicians of mainly African & Jamaican descent 3 to 4 times a week. They would jam for hours on end including doing gigs to the early hours of the morning. From this experience it is his feeling that it is important to play and learn from other musicians, however, if one is unable to do so then incorporating this product into your practicing routine is the next best thing. By using this book your funk bass playing will definitely improve. Written in Standard Notation and TAB. 31 pages	Our Price: US$21.95 click to see more
