    Time, rhythm, and groove are everything to making music. Bass is such a fulfilling and fun way to make music and then some. Cheers

    Been playing for a long time but never with metronome until recently, and I find these suggestions make an incredible amount of sense, and really help me. Foot tapping is distracting and I get lost in the count when I try to do it verbally while playing, but I can feel the beat pretty well by swaying to it, and I don't get lost or distracted. Thanks again, Rich, for another helpful lesson!

    Mr. Brown, I'm a Drummer who is learning the Bass. I studied with Terry Bozzio and he really was into the Metronome, He would have us carry our Metronome in the car. You really start feeling the groove. That was the best advise ever. I love Metronome exercises.Thanks so much for that 16th note Metronome exercise, I love it and work on it everyday.

    Very good advice, it's essential to get the groove into your body. Well, at least one thing I'm getting right since I began playing 😂
    For me it's very helpful imagining a full drum beat over the metronome to get the groove running smoothly and don't forget the metronome is a real friend for any musician and should be regarded as a kind of band member, at least that's my opinion

    The three metronome lessons are great. I had an idea for another lesson, do the mirror image. Start with all 16th notes and start to remove specific notes. Huh. Remove all the "e"s and play that rhythm.

  • @tjsmith3741
    @tjsmith3741 Před rokem +2

    This is a great exercise! Playing drums before transitioning to Bass..I think really helped me with grooves. I’m always counting in my head. Everyone in the band should always pay close attention to tempo and rhythm.. it’s fundamental..

  • @fuglsnef

    Good point about using large movements of the body. Adam Neely has a video about this somewhere and if I remember right it was backed up by scientific research.

    Hey big brother..... Good to see you back on the channel... Obviously I'm a little staving for any info that you'll bring.... Please note that the metronome is a great tool, But i thinking that to hear the composition first, than the metro is a great tool.... Thank you for what you do.... note this just a thought....

  • @Am6-9
    @Am6-9 Před rokem

    Anyone else having a problem with breathing during thins exercise?? I kinda intuitively want to breath in and out with the rhythm of the movement, but it doesn’t really work and I just more or less stop breathing in between (which is possibly a bad thing…). I somehow need to learn how to decouple breathing from the body movement.
    Else, those metronome exercises are great!

    @domredfern2867 Před rokem

    Thank you Rich, as always fantastic hacks for us all. I have wondered about my dancey swaying vs the foot tapping that was insisted upon by my first teacher, so wonderful to be affirmed by you. I really got a lot just watching you switch between two adjacent positions playing G minor pentatonic. Anywaaay, I was wondering how you feel about playing with drum tracks? I make my own funk drum tracks in Logic and find playing to them I am groovier, have more ideas, and can focus on feeling the 2 & 4 than I have with a metronome. But if you feel that the very stripped back experience of the metronome is essential I am all ears. Thanks again, Dom

    I play with a big band of lazybones horns, who lose 5 bpm each beat, and occasionally we do not have the drummer😢, so the burden of keeping time falls on me and I've realized it's beyond my ability.. So I have searched and practiced zillions of exercises. This is really different and looks promising, matching suggestions from experienced players I met. I'll try and report back!
