The years 1945-1965 saw a radical and exciting shift in American popular music. Blues and swing jazz helped to produce a new musical form called rhythm & blues, which in turn set in motion the development of soul, not to mention rock&roll. What united these genres was an emphasis on the beat, or the "groove" over the melody, that would culminate in the syncopated monochord workouts of funk. Along the way, some of the greatest electric guitarists of the postwar years explored the boundaries of the new instrument with a rich array of hot licks. In this book/CD collection, you will find the cream of the crop with notation and tablature of each song, as well as notes on the development of the artist and their music. Plus, CD accompaniment recordings and samples for you to hear and play along with. So get loose, get down, and get ready to jam!

Published By: "Birth Of The Groove: R&B, Soul, And Funk Guitar: 1945-1965" was published by Hal Leonard Corporation.
