Chris teaches you how to play great funk guitar by taking you to school on scratches, string percussion, super-staccato hybrid picking, punch comping, single note hybrids, thumb slaps, pops, combination palm punches, percussive snaps, down-stroke picked muted bass notes, chord stabs, fret-hand finger smacks, thumb mutes, single-note chromatic approach tones, pitch modulation, whammy bar expressions, ring modulation, motion controlled effects, frequency sweeping, time-based effects, amplitude modulation, sequenced filters and pitch shifting.

Many of the techniques, rhythmic and percussive concepts that you will learn how to play in Funk Fission are culled from the combined genius of Jimmy Nolen, Catfish Collins, Wayne Krantz, Dave "Fuze" Fiuczynski, Avi Bortnick and Mick Goodrick. Tweaking tonal textures with motion control, sequenced filters and other effects follow in the footsteps of The Edge, Vernon Reid, Bill Frisell, Nels Cline and Oz Noy. Buono has devoted many years to studying, documenting and assembling this comprehensive one-of-a-kind curriculum.
