Rock House Method and Freekbass Teachin' the Funk

Rock House Method is on top of their game when it comes to music instruction. Rock House currently has two new instructional DVDs featuring funk bass guitarist, Freekbass. Freekbass hails from Cincinnati, Ohio and is best known for blending in old-school funk with newer age styles. He has played with the likes of Bernie Worrell, keyboardist for Parliament and formerly of The Talking Heads, as well as legendary bassist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Bootsy Collins. Public Enemy says in their song, "Don't Believe the Hype", but I urge you to very much believe the hype when it comes to Freekbass. This funky, bass guitarist originally from Cincy is keepin' it real and keepin' that funk alive.

The brand new, instructional DVDs teach people how to play bass with two levels, Level1 and Level 2 sold separately. These learning tools also offer iPod-ready video as a significant feature. How To Play Funk Bass Featuring Freekbass: Levels 1 & 2 are priced at $24.99 each or you can buy the combo pack for $49.98. The DVDs will be available at MI retailers around the world and can also be purchased at www.rockhousemethod.com. These learning materials will give the inside scoop behind Freekbass' unique style, provide a strong feel of playing Funk bass and getting that funk bass sound and also teach how to blend funk playing with other types of music.

Level 1: Students pick up on left and right hand technique, the G major scale and accelerate up to crucial funk elements like slap & pop, thump, pluck, groove and timing. Octaves and how to put major and minor triads into full progressions will be demonstrated on the Level 1 DVD with Freekbass.

Level 2: Students get in touch with their creative sides, learn how to blend the funk and blues scales together, pick up on techniques like hammer-on grooves and funky right hand variations, gain knowledge of crucial elements such as: the Dorian thump mute groove, double thump, ghost note percussive technique and multiple position scales covering the entire neck.
