This is designed to take the student into high-level bass playing including studies of Latin grooves reggae ska and advanced funk bass lines. It is the perfect launching pad to journey into a lifetime of excellent bass playing. This comes with an accompanying CD.

This method is designed for both the bassists and drummers and its purpose is to help them play together in almost all major musical styles: Rock Blues Funk Rhythm and Blues Disco/Dance Reggae Latin music etc... The many grooves presented here even if they can be practised alone are intended to be played in a band or at least by a bass/drum duo either on stage or in a studio or simply among friends. Each example displays the bass line along with its tab and the drum score just below allowing to situate each instrument in relation to the other. In this way the grooves can easily be read and analysed from both perspectives. For each style you will begin practisingone bar then two bar patterns... before tackling longer and more complex grooves. To put this into application all you will have to do is use your own chord changes or those you like as well as play the patterns you find interesting over these chords. On the CD the bass examples are played on the left channel and the drums examples on the right channel. With a centred sound balance you will be able to hear both instruments!

Blues, Jazz, Disco/Dance, Reggae, musiques latines, etc. Vous trouverez donc une foultitude de rythmes et de grooves qui, s'ils peuvent être étudiés en solo, ont avant tout pour objectif d'être utilisés au sein d'un groupe, ou au moins d'un duo basse / batterie, sur scène, en studio ou tout simplement en répétition, entre amis. Chaque exemple propose la ligne de basse, ainsi que la ligne de batterie juste en dessous, ce qui permettra de toujours pouvoir situer son propre instrument par rapport à l'autre. Les rythmes pourront ainsi être suivis et analysés plus facilement par les deux parties. Pour chacun des styles, le travail portera tout d'abord sur des patterns d'una seule mesure, puis deux...avant d'aborder des grooves plus longs et plus complexes.Pour mettre tout cela en application, il ne vous restera plus qu'à prendre des grilles d'accords qui vous sont propres ou que vous appréciez et à utiliser la ou les patterns qui vous intéressent sur ces progressions. Sur le CD, vous trouverez les exemples de la basse à la gauche et ceux de la batterie à la droite. Avec une balance en position centrale, vous profiterez des deux instruments ensemble!

Each pattern is recorded twice 1st. with the Keyboard rhythm part playing along with a rhythm section of Organ Guitar Bass and Drums and in certain grooves percussion 2nd. the rhythm section without the piano rhythm part so you can practice along.
