This course builds upon the material covered in the 60-Lesson Groove Course Level 1, exploring a comprehensive range of topics pertinent to effectively function in a rhythm section. These include: concept/approach, ear training/rhythmic analysis, developing a rhythmic & harmonic vocabulary for grooving, variations/fills, metronome studies, and a number of feel considerations (tempo vs. feel, playing on top vs. laying back, etc.) that can be considered the “critical subtleties”.
Recommended for the beginning (if already familiar with basic theory and technique) and/or intermediate bassist seeking to broaden and refine their grooving abilities.
