Funk Blues Fusion Concepts
Funk Blues Fusion Concepts is a modern guitar improvisation lesson course designed to equip already proficient rock guitar players with harmonic knowledge, commonly found within the rock/fusion style. The fusion guitar course focuses on ways in which to view the fretboard to gain confidence with note choice when improvising, explores multiple tonal options that can be played over Dominant 7th chords and ways to expand musical and contemporary guitar soloing vocabulary. The course is also designed to be a first introduction to the concept of playing guitar solos over chord changes, and matching ones note choice to the specific chord that is being played. This modern blues fusion guitar course delves into how to view the fingerboard to enhance smooth, musical transitions throughout the harmony. The chord progression used is a basic I7 IV7 V7 blues in a fast paced, swung, funk style, a feel commonly used in the rock/fusion guitar idiom. The blues is well known and loved by all guitar players, and is a great place to practice implementing these new visualisation and harmonic ideas. There is an example study with TAB for students to learn and analyse with the aim of lifting ideas into their own playing. There is also some bonus improvisation footage that students can use as inspiration to fuel their own creativity.
