BIRTH OF THE GROOVER&B, SOUL AND FUNKGUITAR: 1945-1965Inside the Bluesby Dave RubinHal LeonardThe years 1945-1965 saw aradical and exciting shift inAmerican popular music.

What united these genres was an emphasison the beat, or the groove, over the melody that wouldculminate in the syncopated monochord workouts offunk. Along the way, some of the greatest electricguitarists of the postwar years explored the boundaries ofthe new instrument with a rich array of hot licks.
