    You can see just how much of a PRO bassist Scott is - not because of the notes he's playing or even his rhythm - but because of the sheer precision with which he keeps the headstock mere inches away from the whiteboard EACH TIME he turns from one side to the other! Once you notice this , it becomes almost hypnotic!!

    And I for one am happy with that. He takes time and gets it across. Too many people seem to not understand how teaching and transferring information works. Especially when teaching something entirely new it helps to repeat and to go slowly. There are too many people on KZread who you have reached the point of that Gm7 chord in under 5 minutes and that's just too rapidly for those for whom this is new or difficult.

    +Logan Freund These two are great, and you can follow through without a problem which is always a big plus, and you certainly find a good amount of months worth of work ahead in both. However, THE most importat stuff you can watch as a musician, in terms of groove and rhythm, I have found is the Intro to Polyrhythms and the Metric Modulations DVDs and booklets by Ari Hoenig and Johannes Weidenmueller (the best bass teacher I have ever had). Scott's and Benny's methods barely scratch the surface of what these DVD's will do for you and your groove and time, and they are certainly a next step to take once you're comfortable with Scott's and Benny's (it'd be nice to have something in between, because the gap is huge). Next, also very related to rhythm and groove, but also as a musician in general and this will affect you in way deeper ways: Hal Galper's teachings. If you leave in NYC or close by, hit him up and ask him to teach you. He'll destroy you and everything you know about playing, and he'll rebuild you and you will never even listen to music with the same ears. If you are too far you can always check his website and read his articles, they are extremely powerful (though he needs some spell checking lol). And last but not least, in case you have done it all, you have Mike Longo's DVD series The Rhythmic Nature of Jazz. I haven't gotten to it, but that's what I'll be doing soon.

    I am working on visualizing what I play on drums, guitar, bass, or whatever musical composition I am working on. So this video was quite stimulating to my focus. As well as learning the other stuff we can do with bar/measures. 1&a2&a3&a1&a2&a3&a as opposed to 1e&a with four sub-divisions. And how to simplify it to the rest of the band. Like whispering 123 223 323 423 0r 1234 2234 3234 4234. When the whole band knows what the whole sound looks like they can understand where their parts are. That's the visual part the band also feels. Thank you for doing what you do with music. I've always thought of musicians as sound weavers. Keep up the good work and thank the management for me.

    This clarifies so much for me as a beginner because sometimes I'll be walking along, just through the day, and I'll hear the rhythm to a nice bassline. It'd stick inside my head for a bit but I'd always forget it because I had no solid way to write it down and remember. This chart gives me that means to do so. Makes things way easier to understand. It's simple, but effective if practiced. Which I will be doing, practicing. :D

    This is an incredible beginner's lesson. I am a guitar player and recently picked up bass guitar to get in touch with my sense of rhythm (and because jamming in the lower frequencies just sounds so sweet). Like you I am very strategic with my musical learning and I have been looking for a good rhythm lesson which included diagramming for a while now. I searched through countless percussion books and rhythm guitar tutorial videos, but none of them were able to get the point across as well as Scott or provided such a valuable tool for building rhythmic intuition. Thanks Scott! Definitely subscribed.

    Hi there Scott I dig your groove grid concept. I've always, since I were a kid, wanted to play bass or lead guitar, but never took any private lessons or classes in school. After many years pass I finally bought some gear and now ready to learn the comcept of playing my bass like a pro. l read books and listen to CD's but they can sometimes be confusing and very costly. but what I like about your groove grid, is it's not all about using penatonic scales chord progression etc..., not to say that they are not a part of learning music, but they can sometimes be discouraging especially for a beginner, it's finding the repeated rhytem broken down in quarters, eights, and sixteens using the main notes used from a specific chord and plugging them in randomly in your measure to create your own bass line. now. Thats an concept l can easily graspe. Now to start practicing it. Thanks for that tip. .

I started lessons a few years back but just couldn't keep the motivation and interest..but last year I bought a bass and started playing around with it thinking that if I understood the "bass" better It could help me be a better drummer and better asset to the groove...and maybe someday step up and play bass. And it will help with writing/production. I've been watching your videos and they have helped me immensely!...I enjoy playing along with tabs on KZread videos with all the classics I grew up with.. I'm having A-blast, I really love it and I would love to learn more and really do want to become a better bass player... I have basic music theory knowledge.

    A great lesson. I've been playing bass since '61 in most all flavors of music. The Groove Grid really fixes a basic problem I've had: Getting lost because I was not laying down a repeating groove (except of blues). So occasionally my playing would get to the point "Where's 1"? Especially if playing complex funk or afro-cuban styles. I could play cool bass parts but only if the drummer laid down the basic rhythm structures 2 bars, 4 bar phrases, etc. emphasizing where the beat was in terms of beat in the measure so many thanks

    This concept is word. I am a sax player learning bass. This concept you are graciously sharing is very similar to the concept that my old teacher Lee Konitz (sax giant) taught me on improvisation AND learning how jazz standards are constructed by chord changes. I know chord changes over standards by 16th notes and triplets etc...before I ever tackle improvising over a song. This lesson makes sense to me and has helped me get my bass approach in gear.

    Mr. Divine. I love your teaching method. I love your bass playing. I love my bass again. I p,aged bass for a couple decades in a R&B / Fusion band and loved it. But I always played guitar and did so more and more for composing. I've been away from my bass muscle for a couple of decades except for occasional recordings where key bass wasn't working for me. I've become a pretty content guitar player/writer but you my friend have completely motivated me to incorporate more bass guitar back into my compositions. Because you've reminded me of how important and infectious the groove can be. The groove has always been my strength because of my experiences as a bassist. As a guitarist I was always more concerned with harmonies and melodies. Yes the pocket was always still there but I used keys to implement a bass concept instead of my 4 string. Man did I miss out on all that 4 and 5 string meat and potatoes. But Scott you've brought me back from unconsciousness. I'm an older guy whose made his way and survived playing out for a livin. So as of the last 2 decadesI always hired great bass players and played guitar and sang throughout most of my later career. But now my heart is into staying home and creating in my little studio and figuring out new musics to turn the world around. You've given me the missing mojo I needed to play more bass guitar and to marry the guitar to new and improved bass concepts. Thank you Scott. I've shared your channel with my family of bass players and all players alike. I'm in. Thank you. F. L.

    I've been playing on and off for about 10 years (getting hard to remember how long!) and this is actually great video. Had it sitting around in my watch later list for a while, but finally had some spare time to sit through it! I've realised I've been doing a little of this internally when playing (but not when practicing so much!), but it's fantastic to see it basically simply explained on a white board. I suffer from some (thankfully somewhat mild) learning difficulties and this can make learning things on bass either much easier or much more difficult for me (eg, I either 'get it' or say 'huh?' for quite a while!). The way you've explained it makes it very easy for me to understand and I can already think of a few ways to start thinking and practicing this stuff. Thanks a lot for putting up this video and I've subscribed on your site. And if you do read this comment, hope you have a great day! :)

The highhats is the 16th note, the kick as the 4th notes and the snare as the 8ths. It is looooooot clearer to me now. "Different, but the same." - James Franco, The Interview.

    I am primarily a guitar player, but I started on Bass and still do pick up some Bass work. I also teach as well. This was fantastic for me in all 3 capacities. Groove is essential for being a great rhythm guitarist (we spend 95% our time comping, right?), the bass application is obvious, and as a teacher this is a great way for me to demonstrate the concept of subdivision for my visual learners. I honestly can't believe this was a free lesson. Awesome!

I am going to practice that rhythm thing stuff from today onwards because I feel this is going to help me a lot in my songwriting process. Thank you Scott for this great stuff, looking forward for you to cover triplets in the upcoming lessons. Thanks!

    Excellent video! I play bass at church each Sunday but I don't really consider myself a bass player. I generally play the bass line from sheet music arranged for the piano so I have developed various counting methods to get the rhythm right.Playing the bass has really developed my guitar playing both rhythmically and harmonically and it's created that internal feel for me you mention in the video. We don't have a drummer so whilst I don't usually set the time I am the one that maintains it!This lesson has made many of the things I've noticed along the way fall into place!Thanks Scott!I'm currently working on 3 string chords on the guitar and the knowledge gained there is feeding back directly to chord tones on the bass and the end of the video with the Gm7 was the icing on the cake :)

    Thanks for sharing this. Some really great stuff here. As a beginner for bass it makes more sense now some things they were trying to teach with a drum pad (block of wood with a rubber top) when kids wanted to learn drums in school. Just saw Victor Wooten Tedx talk from 8 years ago about music as a language and the importance of just learning the language over whichever instrument you happen to want to express the music/message thru. This lesson on making a groove and understanding it as repeated rhythm is a gold mine of a concept for making and practicing grooves. Thanks @scott!

I've saw a 6 piece band, where they had 4 singers, just singing, and a bass guitarist, and a drummer, that's all, and they kicked ass. So I understand the great power of a great rythem and bass player. I don't have enough years left, to get to your level on bass guitar.. Cheers !
