Progressive Funk And R & B Guitar Method uses both chords and single note riffs to help the student gain control of timing and rhythms, which are essential to good funk playing. Thus the book contains a study of both rhythm and lead guitar, since a funk guitarist needs to be equally comfortable with both. A variety of chord forms are introduced within a framework that quickly allows the student to play confidently over the entire fretboard. Other sounds such as the 9th chord are also introduced
