About this title

Synopsis

Funk Bass Method by Chris Kringel is a bass guitar method designed for electric bass players who want to develop authentic funk feel through real songs. Created for intermediate players ready to deepen their groove, this book teaches the core techniques, rhythmic precision, and stylistic awareness required for confident funk performance in the spirit of artists such as Flea, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Rocco Prestia.

Built around complete songs rather than isolated drills, the method blends practical instruction with bass arrangements in standard notation and tablature. The included online audio allows players to hear phrasing, articulation, syncopation, and pocket placement in context, reinforcing musical accuracy and feel. With 20 songs spanning classic and modern funk influences, bassists apply essential grooves directly to full-length repertoire while strengthening consistency and control.

Working through this collection develops timing, muting technique, slap and fingerstyle coordination, note placement, and improvisational confidence. By connecting philosophy and technique to real performance material, the book supports steady progress while keeping practice musical and motivating. The structured approach makes it suitable for focused self-study, private instruction, ensemble preparation, and players looking to lock in tighter rhythm sections.
