Picking up where we left off in chapter one, this instalment follows the stories of Phelps Catfish Collins, Hearlon Cheese Martin, Robert Lee Coleman, Jimmy Nolen, and the J.B.'s, with some more Little Bobby Roach thrown in for good measure!

We also learn about some of the studio guns that contributed to James Brown's early 70s recordings, including Joe Beck, Sam Brown, Bill Pitman, and Louie Shelton.

And of course, we must talk about the Grodeck Whipperjenny project and the overlap between that work and James' Sho Is Funky Down Here.

I was well and truly blessed whilst compiling this chapter, to be graced with an interview (and lost of correspondence) with Bobby Roach - James' guitarist from the early days, who regaled me with the story of his return for Get on the Good Foot, as well as his experiences on the road and creating that beautiful guitar part for Try Me.

This mini-doco contains tablature for the funk guitar examples used throughout.
