The Most Extensive Funk Rhythm Guitar Course Online - 45 Lessons That Take You From an Intermediate to a Gig-Ready Funkateer ***Now Available With Lifetime Access***

Having command of a versatile and extensive vocabulary of fills to connect chords and accompany singers is an essential skill for all guitarists.


Rick Stickney’s collection of 30 Timeless R&B Guitar Fills can be applied to any style of music you play, from rock and country to jazz, funk and blues.

”The tastiest fills we hear today, in contemporary music, root directly back to classic Soul and R&B music from the 60s and 70s.

To broaden your fills vocabulary, I’ve put together 30 of my favorite and most versatile R&B fills, which you can use as presented or tweak any way you wish to create your own variations.

I’ll show you fills that you can play over major, minor and dominant chord progressions, in a variety of keys and feels.

As you learn the fills you will also gain valuable insight into how to visualize them relative to common chord shapes and positions on the fingerboard, making it a breeze to move these to other keys later on.

We’ll practice all 30 of these fills over jam tracks for real-world musical context.”

You’ll have all of TrueFire’s advanced learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You’ll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.

Grab your guitar, and let’s dig in!
