That was an awesome lesson. Reminds me when I was a kid, when driving and listening to the car radio, I'd try and keep the beat going through a tunnel when the would radio cut out. No practice is bad practice!

Want to get better at polyrhythms? Set your metronome to [bpm your song is] * 1.5 (or bpm / 2 * 3, if you prefer). So if your song is 120bpm, set it to 180, and play your 4 beats against your metronome's 6... play along and just feel how it sounds. Bonus: once you can feel it without trying, you'll stop playing drag-triplets (e.g. dotted-eighth, dotted-eighth, eighth) when you really mean to play true (even-length) triplets.

The real killer: 16th note displacement, e.g quarter note met but it's the 'a' or the 'e'. Helps you feel the space in a very different way, also, using it as a polyrhythm, putting the met at a 3:4 or 4:3 ratio to the tempo you're playing. Neither of these work at every tempo or with all time signatures but for 4-4 they can be a really good brain chop out. Love all your videos, I learn so much from them every time :)

That last tip can be confusing sometimes because in certain system configurations, drivers of audio interfaces have problems with correctly report latency to DAW(so DAW compensate wrong latency). So you may see that you play in the "pocket" but actually you are not. Sorry if my English is poor(not my native language).

Not a bass player here even though I do record my own basslines, but I find practising bass is one of the things that really strengthens my overall sense of rhythm and timing. Can't seem to get away with the shit I do, on piano, guitar, or singing for the matter. Until I learn drums that is. One of these days, anyway. Peace!

the 'on the 2 and 4' trick is a great way to capture swing with a metronome. (sounds funny, as there is no 'swing' in time, but what it does to the ear does provide a hard swing feel) additionally I have started using a mechanical metronome, and it adds another nuance to metronome games.

Hey Adam (and all), I'm not a bass player, but I love your channel! I wanted to share another met game that I've seen a lot of places and that I use occasionally--try swapping the frequency of the click from something "in" time to something wacky. I've seen the click on dotted quarters, dotted eights, even once every 5 subdivision (once ever 5 16ths or once every 5 8ths, depending on tempo). The math on this one is way, way beyond me, so finding the right tempo can be rough. I think 80 BPM is dotted eights for something at 60 BPM? The next game would be jumping back and forth between feels: the click is set for dotted eights but I still feel the pulse in 4/4 duple time versus feeling the pulse in 4/4 triplets. I'm doing a bang-up job of describing this (not really), but the idea is to switch between feeling the rhythm I'm playing "as intended" versus feeling the rhythm as a hemiola against triplets. Literally nothing would change in the speed or distance between notes; only my internal pulse changes. Since I don't play bass, I don't know what the applicability would be. I played drumset and now tabla, so doing something like this for paradiddles or a simple kaida can be fun and frustrating.

I have done this for walking bass lines as well. A favourite game of mine was to record a click (2 and 4) and then mute increasingly longer sections of it and try to play good time while it dissapears for up to 30 seconds. The next step down the rabbit hole is to put your music library on shuffle at the same time! Then try it with the click on the swung 8th of 2 and 4, without and then with the random musical distraction. Cheers!!

Not sure why by my thoughts jumped to that episode of Cheers where the orchestra's percussionist only had two parts, one at the beginning and one at the end. So he decides to hit the bar during the performance for a beer, all the while counting/tapping out the beat to keep count. He loses it when the waitress counts out his change and he has to run back...
