What makes this course different...

This course is a culmination of my years of touring, recording and working with some of the legends in the world of Funk (The Neville Bros., Dr. John), Pop/R&B (Daryl Hall/John Oates, Boz Scaggs, Beyonce') and more....We'll start with fundamentals, adding as we go along.

About the Course

 I feel that "Deep Pockets"  is a unique program and I'm confident you won’t find another course out there quite like it. Over year in the making, it’s a collection of original grooves and riffs that demonstrate and walk you through concepts that WORK.  If you want to improve your rhythm playing, feel and groove, all while centering around melodic R&B and Funk guitar styles, then this course is for YOU! I’ll start out with showing your some “Fundamentals of Funk” and get you grooving right out of the gate, then we’ll move on to different styles that incorporate techniques from my “bag of tricks” -muting, triads, double-stops, single notes, 16th note “chop” etc... Most importantly in this course I will not only be showing you HOW but I will be telling you WHY I am using certain approaches I feel my teaching style and approach differs from most in that I learned ON the gig and in the trenches. Now I’ll share my secrets with you...get ready! OVER 3 HOURS of content! High QUALITY PLAY-ALONG TRACKS INCLUDED ALL EXAMPLES INCLUDE STANDARD NOTATION AND TAB "I didn’t learn this stuff at school or even from a teacher- I learned it directly from the artists, and other musicians that I was fortunate enough to work with- on the bandstand and in the studio. That’s what sets it apart."
