The Total Funk Bassist는 펑크 베이스의 세계에 대한 독창적이고도 흥미로운 여행입니다.
훌륭한 펑크 연주의 핵심은 바로 리듬이며 이 교본은 리듬에 대한 개념을 완전하게 이해하는데 큰 도움이 됩니다.
16분 음표, 싱코페이션, 그리고 그 밖의 다양한 펑키 리듬 컨셉을 확고히 다지기 위한 연습 예제들이 수록되어 있습니다.
펑크 베이스의 필수적인 두 가지 테크닉인 핑거스타일과 슬랩 & 팝 테크닉을 포함한 다양한 고급 테크닉들이 실려있습니다.
모범연주 음원이 온라인으로 제공되며 책 첫 페이지에 안내된 사이트 주소와 코드로 스트리밍 또는 다운로드 가능합니다.
