Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first heard of Shane when I read a short article in Guitar Player magazine.The article's description of his New Orleans funk style piqued my interest, so I took a chance and ordered the CD from amazon.com.I was not disappointed.This CD drips with funk.Shane is a very talented guitar player AND song writer (he wrote eight of the eleven tunes on this primarily instrumental album).His guitar playing, while being very funky, borrows heavily from the fusion masters, but he still sounds fresh and original.He can shred, too, but only when the song calls for it.Very tasty stuff.The musicians on the CD are excellent, too.
The CD liner notes said to check out his "New Orleans Funk Guitar Styles" instructional Book/CD.After listening to his CD, I ordered the CD/book.Great stuff.This is one of the best guitar instructional books I've ever purchased.There are lots of examples that I was able to start using right away.And the examples are well-oraganized by topic, not just a bunch of examples, one after the other with no unifying theme. All you guitarists out there who want funkier chops (and who doesn't?) need to check him out.
