About
Dr. W
The King of Fives
Dr. Warren Waren, takes you through hundreds of original quintuplet figures optimized for electric lead guitar. 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.
