Funk Fundamentals Course

Lock in the groove, nail the feel, and bring the funk to life on your bass guitar.

Want to capture the energy, syncopation, and pocket that makes funk bass so irresistible?

In this course with Coach Sian Unwin, you’ll learn essential funk techniques like ghost notes, slap & pop basics, and muting — while also learning about line creation, tasteful fills, and harmony. You’ll discover how to lock in with the band, groove with confidence, and add just the right amount of flair to your bass lines.

This course will give you the tools, ideas, and feel you need to make your playing tight, creative, and ready for any funk jam or gig.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

✅ Create the infectious, toe-tapping bass lines that make funk irresistible (with real-world breakdowns of James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, and Parliament Funkadelic)… PLUS, how to lock in with the drummer to make every groove feel effortless.

✅ Understand the deep connection between rhythm and melody, and why funk bass works the way it does (even if you’ve never played funk before)… And the best part? You’ll leave with techniques you can apply to ANY genre to boost your groove.

✅ Create funk-tastic bass feels that make people move (using tried-and-tested rhythmic approaches and articulation techniques)… Not only that, you’ll also get hands-on demonstrations and video analysis to truly bring it to life!

✅ Get a Front-Row Seat to Funk History and how legendary bassists crafted their iconic bass lines (so you can infuse your playing with their signature energy)… Oh, and did I mention? You’ll also learn how to build your own funk-inspired bass parts from scratch.
