Foreword
A great way to truly know if you can account for how subdivisions feel is to
play them all. Drummers do this all the time coordinating rhythms between
the right and left hand playing the snare drum.
I think its often overlooked to do the same thing on bass guitar – it’s a great
way to build up right hand speed, dexterity and to practice your rhythm.
I made these exercises inspired by snare drumming books I’ve been
practicing with – however I wanted a more direct and focused workout for
bass.
These exercises are made to go through some common groupings you may
stumble upon.
The ghost notes notated should be played as ghost notes and to clearly hear
the accents I recommend playing a note of your choice.
Practice tips
• Be comfortable playing the exercises in different tempos ex. 40 & 110
bpm
• Practice saying the beat/pulse aloud while playing the exercises
’
• Practice saying the subdivisions out aloud while playing the exercises
• Practice the accents without ghost-notes
