“Rocking the Rhythm”- How I Wrote My First Book – “New Orleans Funk Guitar!”
During my career I’ve been blessed to work with a “who’s who” of all the New Orleans greats including The Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, all the members of The Meters and more. The result of this experience was put into my first book “New Orleans Funk Guitar Styles” still in print 25 years later! Here’s a story and little history on how it all came to be.

I love this! Killer playing Shane.
Great channel, Shane!
All my favorite guitar players are deadly at rhythm playing. Solos are great and all, but rhythm is what moves the entire song.
Isn't this you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IOkw6MLFVo That video influenced my playing so much — just perfect strat tone and groove — loved the intro and the fills toward the end. Glad you're ramping your channel back up — you're right up there with Guthrie and Uncle Larry in terms of high quality content and talent. Thanks!
A friend gave me a copy with the disc still in it. Were you friends with Eddie Freche? I think he played with the Nevilles before you did. My Dad always talks about when the Nevilles stole Eddie from the Nobles ????
That book was so good had it for years
That Big Chief riff is insane, great video and cool stories, thanks.
Good stuff Booblah! ????
Still love you and your playing after all these years, Shane! This book is totally badass! That magazine article turned me onto you and the highway 90 album. I collected soundboard recordings of The Neville Bros just to hear you play.
Very interesting video! I love NOLA! The book you found and this book you wrote is a treasure! You should write another book! You were at the right place at the right time with these musicians. You should be very proud. God bless!
Cool stuff Shane! A friend introduced me to Willie Green in the 80S and got to hang with the Neville Bros a bit and also hang out in New Orleans and check out a lot of small clubs aaand lots of great music! Thanks for the great guitar stuff! I subscribed to your channel and will be checking it out!
Caught many Neville’s shows in 80’s & 90’s and was amazed by your playing, Shane, and that you were the white kid in the band made a huge impression. Looking forward to following your channel! ????????
I love it! Completely unknown to relatively obscure ????. ⚜️☮️❤️????
Liking and subscribing.
Cool. Never saw a Hamer Tele before. Funky rhythm playing is right up my street, too. Love it.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also I feel sad ❤????
Great funkin stuff there!
Shane been following you for years and I love what you do. Gotta get me a copy of your book. You my friend are the real deal !!!
Tell me about your Melencon guitar…. I have a Tele by him….love it…..I hear he has passed….sorry to hear….did you know him and what made you buy it?
Back in my university days in Montreal (mid 2000s), my teacher made me practice a lot of stuff from that book. I even transcribed the introduction jam. I now teach at a college with that same teacher now being a colleague and we both use that book every now and then! Great stuff.
I have it, and it took my understanding of rhythm up a notch.
Given what you’ve been up to since your time with the Neville Brothers, I’d bet you have enough for at least one darn interesting memoir/history style book.
And…. very glad to hear you're going to be posting. I just turned my notifications on!
It's so cool that you have those cassette tapes it's good to see you brother are you in Los Angels jason sent me a photo of you sitting with dr john on the steps I love that last album he did miss you brother I can't believe wes is gone miss him big time
