Finger Funk 4 by Russ Rodgers will take the exercises learned in lesson 3 and apply them to bass lines. These bass lines get their funky sound from the use of triplet figures and dead notes. This is a style that you can hear in the playing of Jaco Pastorius of Weather Report and Rocco Prestia from Tower of Power. In addiition to the detailed instruction on playing these lines, you will receive jam tracks at three different tempos so you can practice along. The download also includes a .pdf of the tabs. $4.99
