5 Star Rating  "Funky Training"2007-09-15
- Reviewed By User: A1JXUCWRKLB7ZO
Well if you are expecting every single version of every single funk song, then you better look elsewhere. This book contains progressions, licks, grooves ect., to get you into the feel of funk and includes a few pieces at the end.

She encourages you to LISTEN to pieces she suggests because that is the best way to learn this style. Transcription of records would more than likely be a must. With this stlye, including R&B, jazz and even blues, transcribing records or even buying transcription books is the best way to learn these styles, although there are some very good, thorough books on the blues that teachers you everything you need to know.

This is a good book, written by a beautiful and intelligent woman.

very repetitive, midi jam tracks that sound awful,
and you are with nothing that you can apply
to real world of playing.
I gained much more from the Hal Leonard Blues Piano
and Smooth Jazz Piano Series books. i.e. useful licks,
chord progressions and basic soloing techniques
 
5 Star Rating  "A great teacher"2005-07-29
- Reviewed By User: A33QOP5U4B532Q
Gail Johnson is not only a good teacher but she is an inspiring person aswell. I have not met her and only know her music from this book, but I can say that the method is thorough, and the music is playable and it genuinely builds your technique and musicianship.

She takes you from basic grooves to complete songs. All the while the music is sensible and meaningful, and allows you to grow your knowldege and technique.

This is what good music instruction is about - presenting beautiful music with insight and inspiration. It's not easy to do outside of a music lesson, but she has pulled it off. Now how about a book 2, something with more funk studies, perhaps?
 
5 Star Rating  "one of the best keyboard instructionals I've bought, can I give it a 6?"2005-06-23
- Reviewed By User: A354UYSX08SUA8
I think Jeff K.'s review is entirely correct. There are a multitude of usable examples of runs and progressions. I really enjoy using the cd with Digital Preformer - I'll load up an example, loop it and play over it until I have the timing right.
After using Levine's Jazz Piano Book (if you don't own this book you should) for five years Gail Johnson has helped me change up my voicings and rhythm - even helping me modernize (if you can consider 70's and 80's funk modern) my personal sound.

If you like Bob James, Deodato, George Duke, etc. this book will get you a little closer to what you are looking for.

I'm not a bass player, but Josquin des Pres wrote an OUTRAGEOUS book on classic funk and r&b grooves for bass. I load some of his audio into my sequnecer and try to incorporate some of Gail's ideas. It's really good practice and infinately more interesting than most of my workouts.

There's a book by Peter Gelling that has a similar title that is no where near as good as this one.

For a fourth of the price of one piano lesson you will learn a lot.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent Bang for the Funk"2005-01-15
- Reviewed By jgroseth
Gail Johnson has done a great service to the music community by writing this book/cd. It is chalk full of USEFUL riffs, rhythms and changes actually heard in contemporary and classic funk. The cd has almost all the examples (80+) found in the book and a lot of the riffs will sound very familiar if you are acquainted with the genre. It's a welcome change from examples in other music books/cds which often times are more theoretical than practical. Her writing is very concise yet enlightening and a great variety of styles and topics are covered. I especially appreciated the clav licks. As well her funk discography at the beginning is of the highest order. Price of $15 retail? This deal smokes. Great job Gail and Musician's Institute. More quality publications like this please.
 
5 Star Rating  "Inspiring"2004-11-30
- Reviewed By jusca
This book is what I have been looking for in a method book. The chords, the music, and the rhythms are "funky." I popped in the included CD into my cd player to listen to a few examples of the music that's in the book. I've always wondered how funk was played. This book contains most of the answers.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great for intermediate players"2001-03-07
- Reviewed By Anonymous
I picked up this book knowing some chords and scales, and it is putting it all together for me. It has taught me new voicings to all the old chords and new rhythems for all those scales. I sound so much better now. It's teaching me great techniques for using both hands to create a professional sounding bubble gum machine of sound. After working with this book for just 4 days I went and jammed with friends and they were amazed at how much I had improved. If you want to sound funky on the keys, buy this book.
