bass groove 1
A rhythmical approach
to bass line creation

Sight reading - Composition - Rhythmical Training


mbryan829@gmail.com 03 Jan 2023

Foreword
Rhythm exercises on bass are often not
practically connected to bass playing.

Usually exercises are purely rhythmical and


often not very musical - and with little to
no context to actual bass playing.

This material encourages a creative process


of developing rhythmical and bass groove
vocabulary.

I encourage everybody to compose their own


exercises/grooves.

I hope you have fun!
