ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jean Marc Belkadi started playing guitar at age 14. He graduated from the
Toulouse Music Conservatory in his hometown. In 1984,he left France for the
u.s. to learn at the Musicians Institute of Technology in Los Angeles where he
received the Best Guitar of the Year Award.
In 1989 and 1992he was awarded third and second prize at the Billboard Song
Contest. For three years he was musical director of the Johnny Hune TV show.
He has written two guitar method books addressing Jazz, Fusion and Rock
soloists and recorded one solo album.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this book is not to be a guitar method book with a captalIM."
Rather, it is intended as a source of inspiration to help you develop your own
ideas. The three key areas that I focus on and encourage you to explore are:

Melody
In any style of music you are into, the melodic direction, sound, and phrasing
are the first and most important things to consider. For this reason-and to
develop the connection between your ear and fingers-I recommend that you
sing all the lines (slowly at first).

Harmony
All of the lines are performed against a certain chordal background. However,
they can also be used with other chords and will sound different in each context.
I encourage you to experiment by playing them in different chordal contexts using
a tape recorder, a synthesized background, a friend, or whatever you may have
available.

Technique
This book is geared for guitar players and makes use of various techniques that
are unique to the guitar, including alterna te, sweep, and skip picking, hammer-ons,
pull-offs, and tapping. Play the lines very slowly and accurately at first and
gradually speed up. Don't forget that the melody should sound natural to you at
any tempo. The harmony should be implicit, your phrasing clean, and timing
perfect.
Let's begin now! I hope you will enjoy this as much as l do ...

Editor's notes:
Follow the audio icons in the book to keep your spot on the CD.
A short "introductory" solo portion may sometimes precede the main lick of each
figure, to give it a better sense of context. However, only the main lick itself
appears transcribed in each case.

The CD features demonstration and practice tracks, played by the Boston-based r&b/funk group, the Thaddeus Hogarth Band. Guitar tablature, fretboard diagrams, and traditional notation are included. You will learn how to:

• Play lead lines and build solos
• Understand and use scales over funk/r&b harmonies
• Create rhythm-guitar parts that support funk/r&b grooves
• Bend strings to expand your palette of scales, harmonies, and ornamentation
• Use articulations, such as muting, sliding, plucking, and others
• Use characteristic funk/r&b amplification and effects such as distortion, wah-wah, envelope filters, chorus, and more
• Gain facility with all these tools via time-tested exercises

Thaddeus Hogarth is an associate professor of guitar at Berklee College of Music, where he has trained hundreds of guitarists in the art of funk/r&b. He is an active performer and recording artist.

"When I was a young blood, starting out in the Apollo Theater house band, the knowledge the old timers shared with me was invaluable. As I started working through the lessons in this book, it felt like an extension of those glorious soulsters—guiding me like Lewis and Clark, down the trail to Funkland. This will be a priceless tool for the novice, as well as the pro of other disciplines. Bravo."

—Nile Rodgers, Guitarist/Producer/Composer/Arranger (Chic)

"Thaddeus Hogarth has articulated some of the 'secrets of the funk' in an easy to understand, practical manner. It is the only book I've ever seen that approaches funk and r&b with due respect, in its simplicities and complexities. He not only gives great examples but also takes you into the exploratory harmonic possibilities to find your own voice. If you're looking for "That Book" to unlock the inner workings of the groove and what to do on top of it, this is the book to read."

—Billy "Spaceman" Patterson, Guitarist/Composer/Producer/Arranger (James Brown, Sly Stone, Miles Davis, George Clinton)

"A timeless staple of r&b guitar. The format is meticulously detailed, the recorded examples are first rate, and the listening list is a veritable treasure-chest map."

... musician, and get to a point somewhere between
the Trio record and Room for Squares-and
that's a really good place to be."
While the Trio tour showcased Mayer's blazing
fretwork, he says he learned lessons from those
shows about restraint. "When I made my first
record, there was no trust in space because it was
all me; everything was just on those six strings," he
says. "With Steve and Pino it was all about space,
using a whole different palette. When your tone is
good on the guitar, you need, like, four notes. The
more concise and right you have it, the less you
need around it." One listen to such spare, carefully
crafted songs as "Slow Dancing in a Burning
Room" or "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)"
instantly reveals this new approach.
Mayer points to one song in particular as
the turning point for Continuum. "I wrote 'Gravity'
last summer, and it changed everything," he
says. "You talk less when you trust that people
understand you. 'Gravity' had to be sparse. And
when I listened to it for the first time, holding
back, it was a whole new game. That might be
the most important song I ever wrote."
Armed with this outlook, Mayer knew
Continuum would tackle larger ideas than
those that defined his previous albums. "A big
challenge was writing about big themes," he
says. "I'm not a better writer in terms of sitting
down in front of a pad, but I'm better in terms
of receiving inspiration and converting it into
something 'real' quicker. I'm better equipped to
deal with those moments."
The hard-hitting "Belief" tackles an
infinitely complex subject. Over a slinky,
hypnotic guitar groove, he sings, "We're never
gonna win the world, we're never gonna stop
the warlWe're never gonna beat this if belief is
what we're fighting for," questioning the power
and the limitations of faith and convictions.
"It's an intellectuallandmine-how do you
write a song about what people believe without
impugning their belie s?" he asks. I wanted
to get right next to people's beliefs and look at
them without threatening them. It's tricky. You
only get x number of syllables and you have to
write something you can defend."
With "Waiting on the World to Change,"
Mayer shot for something even more ambitious something
like an attempt to explain his
generation's attitudes about politics. "It's
meant to shed a little light on inactivity and
inaction," he says, "because I don't believe that
inaction is a lack of interest. I think inaction is
preservation-nobody wants to get involved in a
debate in which the rules and facts will change
so that they'll lose. So we end up with this other
option, which is, I guess we'll just have to wait
for things to get better.
Continuum also includes the first cover
Mayer has put on an album, his version of "Bold
As Love" by the incomparable Jimi Hendrix. "To
me, it's the quintessential Jimi Hendrix song,"
says Mayer. "The sensitivity, the imagery, the
power. I also think the third record is the time
when you challenge everybody. It's your throwdown.
Ilike inviting the challenge of, Should
this guy even touch Hendrix's music? To which I
answer, Well, everybody should. Why not?"
Ultimately, Continuum represents maturity,
both musically and thematically, for John
Mayer-a concept that he wasn't comfortable
with until now. "A lot of these songs are about
coming to terms with getting older," he says.
"My generation was never told we were going to
get older. We thought we were going to hear our
names on Romper Room for the rest of our lives.
For a long time, I was really upset about getting
older, worried that things were just going to level
out. But then I realized that everyone around me
was getting older at the same time. We're all
fighting it together, and we're always going to
be those kids, the first really emotionally aware
generation. When I realized that, I could relax
about it a little bit. And I thought that maybe I
can be the guy to sing about it.
