The definitive book on James Brown's seminal style.

Drum, bass and guitar transcriptions and analysis of 23 of the funkiest grooves ever recorded. Includes scores and breakdowns of each part, plus profiles of the players, the gear, the times and the culture of the bands themselves. See photos for listing and sample page for a tune.

Musicians profiled include Bootsy, Maceo Parker, Jimmy Nolan, Clyde Stubblefield, etc. And of course the man himself. Even includes little quotes of the call-out signals James Brown did to the band.

This is one of the greatest style transcription books ever written and is an essential learning tool.
