Rock House Method, the leader in music instruction is announcing the release of two NEW instructional programs on DVD featuring FREEKBASS. Legendary bassist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bootsy Collins calls Freekbass "The new spiritual warrior for the Funk." The Learn Funk Bass program takes a two step approach with a level 1 & 2. They are designed to give players an inside look at the techniques that make-up Freekbass' unique style, help develop a solid foundation for playing Funk bass and an understanding on how to fuse funk playing with other styles of music. "No question that Freekbass is an innovator, he carries the torch for all that old school funk that most of the over 35 crowd grew up with, yet his music relates to today's younger aspiring musician because he infuses techniques from all genres of music. Rock House's partnership with Freekbass further solidifies our position as the instructional company for the next generation of players." Said Joe Palombo of Rock House.
With Level 1 students learn left and right hand technique, the G major scale and quickly graduate to key funk elements like slap & pop, thump, pluck, groove and timing. They will learn octaves and how to put major & minor triads into full progressions. With Level 2 students learn to develop their own creativity, fuse funk and blues scales, techniques like hammer-on grooves and funky right hand variations, key elements like the Dorian thump mute groove, double thump, ghost note percussive technique and multiple position scales spanning the entire neck.
