In this one, we build a minor-scale-based lick from scratch, break it into chunks, and drill it across quarter notes, eighth notes, and 16ths. Then we get into the real subject: rhythmic displacement, shifting that same lick's starting point one 16th note at a time until it sounds like five different ideas.
🥁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 — for bass players who are done treading water.
Groove School is about SYSTEMS so that *you* can take agency over your bass playing journey.
