Playing mixed subdivisions as rock grooves – Bass Reading Study 2

The next step is to play these new rhythms as part of your groove playing.

We need to do two things:

• play a bar of simple time and then;
• play the new rhythms.

The next exercise does exactly that. We have taken the bars from Exercise 1 and in front of each bar we have put a much simpler rock groove.

Have a good look at the next exercise below and use the media files as usual. I would be tempted to watch and listen carefully to the video whilst following the musical exercise before having a go yourself.
