5.0 out of 5 stars An essential study for musicans interested in James Brown, 25 April 2000
This is an excellent in-depth study of Mr.Brown's rhythm sections. Chusk Silverman demonstrates thorough knowledge and great enthusiasm, the interviews with former Brown players are fascinating, offering a unique insight into the perils and delights of working with the 'hardest working man in showbusiness'.

The book is essential source material for all rhythm section players.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAKE IT FUNKY, 9 May 2007
By Mr. L. A. Stevenson "The heed" (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having recently had the privilege to see the Funkmasters live (stubblefield, starks, wesley, worrell) I had a look in Amazon and came up with this book. So pleased with it. The writers have done a fantastic job. The notation and recorded examples are spot on. Very faithful to the original recordings in my opinion. (e.g - the amazing bass run Bootsy does at the end of the bridge in "give it up turn it loose" is included and is perfect.) That's a real anorak thing to say.
Also as a non-music reader, all guitar and bass parts have been tabbed which is handy.
If you like the G.F.O.S and play guitar bass or drums you should get this.
