Time And Groove For Bass Guitar: How To Develop Your Internal Clock (How To Play Bass - Practice Books)

Do you Know The Secret To Playing Bass With ‘Time’ And ‘Feel?’
It’s simple - but not necessarily easy.
You need to develop your internal clock.
Bass players act as the fulcrum of the band. The bass line glues the rhythm section (drums, percussion) to the harmony section (keyboards, guitars) by using rhythms that are complimentary to what the drummer is playing, and notes that are complimentary to the chords played by the harmony instruments.
Most bass practice is focused on playing in time, where time is referenced from an external source like a metronome, drum loops, or a real life drummer. Practicing in this way trains you - even if only subconsciously - to rely on someone else’s time.
In Time And Groove For Bass Guitar you’ll develop and strengthen your “internal clock” using a series of exercises where you become responsible for more, and more units of time. As your internal clock gets stronger, and your perception of time gets better, the ‘side effect’ of this is that your playing has more ‘feel’ and ‘groove.’ Here’s what’s in the pages of this volume to help you do this: Two different types of exercises that build your internal clock. Series of practical exercises to work on building your internal clock progressing from a quarter note groove to 16th note grooves. Advanced exercises if you want to take it to a higher level. Suggestions for going beyond the advanced exercises.
