How To Build Rock Solid Time On Bass

What if you could play perfectly in time, every time?

What if you never again accidentally sped up while you’re playing, forcing anyone singing along to stumble over their words?

You may think this sounds too good to be true, but it IS possible – and we’re not going to be following the same boring advice of ‘Just play with a metronome’. (This advice is incomplete btw…)

Yes – playing with a metronome is part of the puzzle, but it doesn’t give you the whole picture unless you use it the right way.

That’s why the exercise in this video is perfect for learning:

• The cardinal sin of using a metronome (and how committing it can rob you of developing a rock-solid time-feel)
• The absolute most helpful way to use a metronome or drum machine to build an unbreakable, immovable groove
• The secret to developing your own sense of time (which makes it easier to play with any other musician you want)
• How you don’t always have to play strictly ‘metronomically’ to groove hard

My favorite part of this exercise is that you can use it no matter what you’re practicing.

Want to improve your walking bass line time and feel? This exercise would be fantastic!

Want to work on making your bass fills super tight? This exercise can help with that.

Do you want to be able to keep perfect time and make everything feel amazing – even if you’re the only person playing? This is a great exercise for doing that.

My goal is to get you closer to having rock solid timing each and every time you pick up your bass.

When you achieve this, you become the kind of bass player other people love to play with.

In fact, if you play with a great time-feel, people will go out of their way to try and have the opportunity to play with you.

Good luck with the lesson and happy playing!

Cheers,
