How can You craft your own signature basslines and apply your bass repertoire in any rhythmic scenario?

Every bassline and rhythm is built on a sequence of groups. In this video, we explore the rhythmic foundation of a common grouping (42424), develop dynamic bass parts with it, and uncover familiar riffs along the way. This video is part of a trilogy where I utilize the same bass vocabulary and creative steps across three different groupings to develop basslines: 42424 and 44332 - two very popular 4/4 groupings, and 334 - the most common grouping for grooves in 5/8 or 5/4.

The examples in this video are based on my book 'BASS MATRIX' (out now at Alfred Music). Within its pages, delve into a multitude of basslines and bass-and-drum patterns spanning various music genres, from 4/4 to odd meter. Through this exploration, we unveil their rhythmic foundations—the groupings upon which they are built - and observe how these groupings come to life with tones. It’s like a bass language that you can use to create your own signature basslines.
