The King of Fives, Dr. Warren Waren, takes you through hundreds of quintuplet figures. Dr. W was inspired to bring quintuplet figures to modern music. Quintuplet guitar licks are hard, so he renamed them "futtuplets." His inspiration turned to obsession as he researched, created, developed, and documented more than 500 futtuplets over the last few years. The Futtuplet Series is his pentalogy of books that introduces the issue, then applies the 5-note rhythmic subdivision to repetitive figures, melodic sequences, arpeggios, and modal pentatonics.
All the while, making sure that futtuplets are cool, not intellectual. Dangerous, not pretentious. Rock 'n roll, not homework.
Coming Soon! There's more to pentatonics than just the standard CAGED forms. Explore more exotic tones while staying true to five-notes-to-the-beat and five notes through the octave. Five-note patterns sound great with Mixolydian pentatonic and Dorian pentatonic scales.
Five notes to the beat at 140bpm adds a little spice to any rock 'n roll improvisation. Make your outtro fade to black in style. Click on the video prompt in the text to see each futtuplet in action.
The books lay out all the rhythmic groupings and fingerings for electric guitar.
When you read any eBook in the series on Kindle Fire (3rd gen and up) or Kindle apps for Android phones and tablets, you get an embedded video for each futtuplet played slowly without a metronome; at speed with a metronome; and at speed over a chord progression.
Customers who download this book to other devices will receive a standard Print Replica book, with all of the text and detailed notation, but without the enhanced video features.
I'm hopeful that Amazon will allow me to offer video to my readers on the Kindle reading apps for PC and IOS soon.
Access the video files for the first 10 futtuplets from the first book here.
