'50 Funk Licks You Must Know' pays deep homage to the players that laid down the foundations of funk such as James Brown alumni Jimmy Nolen/Phelps Collins/Alphonso Kellum, Funkadelic guitarists Michael Hampton/Gary Shider/Eddie Hazel, Freddie Stone (Sly & the Family Stone), Al McKay (Earth, Wind & Fire), Sugar Foot Bonner (Ohio Players), Leo Nocentelli (The Meters), Ernie Isley (The Isley Brothers), Nile Rodgers (Chic); as well as their descendants such as Prince, Vernon Reid (Living Colour), and John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers). To take it even further you're going to dig on major must know moments laid down by a collection of players who you may have never thought flew the funk flag such as Steve Lukather, Joe Walsh and Ad-Rock (Beastie Boys)! As an added bonus I went all out to bring you must know licks and riffs from the funk underground via guitarists like Brian Dennis (Dag), Simon Katz and Gavin Dodds (Jamiroquai), Simon Bartholomew (The Brand New Heavies), Adam Rogers (Groove Collective) and David "Fuze" Fiuczynski (Screaming Headless Torsos). These and a whole lot more six-string genius awaits you.

@rocknrollporn:Everyone's guilty of that to some extent, but not knowing what chords you're playing makes it harder to extend or alter those chords to create new color and make what your playing more interesting. The more chords you know in context, the more options you have. Your ears will tell you it sounds good, but you need to learn why it sounds good.

I bet you talk like that in your sleep. you're a loony. sounds good though, I wish I could do it.

@rocknrollporn I'm self taught myself. I started playing twenty years ago and I've learned more in the three years I've had a computer than all the years before that combined. There's no excuse for beginner players today in the age of the internet. Youtube is amazing for guitarists. I do recommend a teacher if there's specific songs you want to learn. But you can even learn complex theory analysis on youtube and go at your own pace.

@tomthefunky i hear you. i never really had a teacher to tell me the basic terminology, i just recently started to try and learn on my own. i started playing guitar so i wouldnt have to study damn it! hahaha. stay funky

[rocknrollporn]

[Zee1198]

@tomthefunky Oh sorry that I've not had a chordbook rammed down my throat from the second I picked up a frickin guitar! Get your head out your own arse, you cunt.

@Zee1198: Musicians don't communicate by "saying the frets", you dumbass. Learn music properly. It's not the instructors fault if you can't understand chord names.

@Zee1198 ...Not that theory isn't important and good to know what you are playing... buy a chord book if you need help
