About this course
The rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic principles in funk horn parts are a wonderful source of information for guitarists. Not only will they enhance your rhythm guitar playing, but you'll be able to utilize them in music production as well as in your soloing. This course is designed to take information that many guitarists already possess - the minor pentatonic scale and various modes - and apply it over 4 different bass/drum tracks. You'll learn how to visualize information along the string axis as well as in position and we'll explore various technical approaches to achieve hornlike articulation.
We'll begin with single note horn parts, octaves, double stops, and finally will move into 3 and 4 part diatonic triads out of various modes. Most importantly, you'll be encouraged to think as an arranger, which will help you create parts that leave space and are effective in enhancing the musical landscape of whatever style you're playing.

Minor Pentatonic Double Stops
This lesson will take the minor pentatonic scale and view double stops on the 1st and 2nd strings. These double stops consists of perfect 4th intervals of which there will be 4 different locations in the scale, and one major 3rd interval. Great emphasis will be placed on technical approaches which will give you a wider palette of articulation choices to help you emulate a horn section.
Minor Pentatonic Double Stops
The 2nd and 3rd strings are the only adjacent string pair on the guitar which are tuned a major 3rd apart, which is useful in many situations as demonstrated in this lesson.
Minor Pentatonic Double Stops
This lesson will cover the remaining adjacent string groups with the E minor pentatonic scale. By seeing the exact same mapping from a linear sense on various string groups, it simplifies duplication of a figure in either unisons or octaves.
Diatonic Triad Ideas
This lesson will demonstrate how to utilize the E Dorian triads in 1st inversion as a source for three-voice horn parts.
Diatonic Triad Ideas
This lesson will demonstrate how to utilize the E Aeolian triads in 1st inversion as a source for three-voice horn parts.
Diatonic Triad Ideas
This lesson will demonstrate how to utilize the E Dorian triads in 2nd inversion as a source for three-voice horn parts.

Ok, this one is cool and can up your game instantly. Funk horn parts. Awesome. Much of the work involves being able to identify double stops and then getting a feel of the timing and placement of those accents. The course is short, sweet, focused, and perfect as a side-topic to work on for 5-10 min at a time. You can honestly apply these ideas to other genres once you get some of it down.
