| | Ska Guitar: An In-Depth Study Of The Styles And Evolution Of Ska
Since the sixties, electric guitarists have played a critical role in the evolution of several contemporary musical styles, most notably rock, R&B, jazz, and blues. These styles have maintained a prominent position in the public ear for decades. While these forms of modern music were spreading in the U.S. and abroad, another musical style (one which was also indebted to contributions made by electric guitarists) was brewing in Kingston, Jamaica. This style became known as ska.
In short, "ska" is a slaphappy mix of Jamaican rhythms and western R&B that typically features electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and an extensive horn section. Since the sixties, ska has enjoyed varying levels of success in the last three decades, most recently with the rise of such bands as No Doubt, Sublime, Skatalites, Madness, the Specials, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
So if you're a fan of these bands, you came to the right place. This book presents all the stylistic elements inherent to each of the three generations of ska, everything from its characteristic rhythms, chord voicings and progressions, effects, single-note riffs, and lead phrases. Included with the book is a CD that includes 60 full-band tracks to help you along.
