| "60
Of The Funkiest Keyboard Riffs Known To Mankind" by Andrew Gordon consists
of 60 riffs in a "funky style." The first 30 riffs are designed to be
played using a "Clavinet" sound while the second 30 riffs are
designed to be played by an "Organ" sound. These 60 riffs cover
a multitude of musical styles including Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Disco, Jazz,
Latin, Blues, Rock, Gospel and Hip-Hop. Musicians and bands that have influenced
these 60 examples include: Stevie
Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Billy Preston, Ramsey Lewis, Jimmy
Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Charles Earland, Stevie Winwood, Richard Tee, James
Brown, Tower Of Power and Earth
Wind and Fire. This product is for the intermediate to advanced musician who
needs a comprehensive practical guide to these styles. CD and cassette has each
example recorded twice. The first example has the left hand part on the left
channel and the right hand part on the right channel as well as a separate bass
line and drums. The second version of each example has only the bass and drums
recorded so that you can play along with the backing rhythm tracks.
Customer Comment on this bookThe 60 Funkiest Keyboard Riffs Known To Mankind
book contains some of the great secrets of the Funk world! No longer do
you have to stare at the TV trying to see what masters such as Herbie
Hancock or Chick Corea are playing. It's all here. By integrating the
tricks in this book to your solos you can dramatically transform the
sounds of mere pentatonic blandness into exotic 20th centuary harmony,
and leave yourself amazed by the results. I tried for years to get the
authentic sounds and discover the scales myself, to no avail. This book has transformed my
playing and given me new directions to take my Keyboard playing. Buy
this book...you won't be disappointed! Ed Feast, Nottingham England
