Rick Latham Advanced Funk Studies - Solo 3 (100 BPM)

Me playing an awesome funk solo from Rick Latham's "Advanced Funk Studies" (AN AMAZING BOOK)

Sorry for some of the hiccups, it ain't the easiest solo in the world (and who's perfect really?)

Played at 100 BPM
(IMO, 126 is too fast for this solo, and if the solo is played that fast, the groove starts to fade away (funk is all about that groove))

when you do the 16th on the high-hat you need to use both hands... LRLR.. but still pretty good

@hhsheep ......Have you even looked at the solo in the book? You know he has certain stickings in the book that make it easier? If I did straight 16ths on that part (I think I know which one you're talking about) then it would be damn near impossible. I'd be doing so many crossovers (and I hate crossovers anyway).

Pretty good, F990. Is it just our viewing angle, or is your hi-hat set really high?

What other books or videos would you recommend? I'm at Intermediate level. A lot of these books don't have a lot of descriptions in them. Just a lot of notation. Hard to find something really solid that describes exactly how to do it.

[F990]

Thank you sir. I think it's just the angle. I like keeping my hi-hats high, but not too high.

A lot of books really don't have a description, and I feel your pain. I learn with a teacher where I live (Atlanta, GA) and he's absolutely phenominal. I bought the books he recommended to me and they're all great

[hhsheep]
