    Every time I watch Michael Manring it feels like I'm getting a glimpse into the alternate universe where Jaco was able to get sober for good, conquer his demons, and continue being to the bass what Allan Holdsworth was to the guitar.

    In the marching percussion world, we call this type of rhythmic exercise “gridding”. You’d play the first pattern 4 times, then the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th also 4 times. Then play each 2 times. Then play each one once, like he does at the end of the video. Great exercise, and especially fun with triplets and quintuplets.

    Michael Manring is the nicest most humble bassist you will ever meet. His skills are insane. I have seen him 3x playing solo. Being in the SF bay area has it's perks. Tapping and harmonics can quickly lead to strange rhythm patterns. 5:4, 7:4 time, 11/6? Sometimes it's easier to just create something, then make the time match that, rather than taking the time and trying to make something from that. Both have their utility, but I find it easier to cook something up weird. Bass is part of the rhythm section.

    Doing it all in a row can prove difficult.
    It’s not 3 note and a pause, it’s a three note but shifted every time of just a sixteen, but keeping the “one” on the metronome constant.
    It’s an exercise that a lot of drummer do, Benny Greb call it a drummer vocabulary.
    The drummers do it but larger than that:
    starting one note on first, then second, then third then forth sixteen, then 2 notes on first and second, then second and third, third and fourth, fourth and one, then one and three, 2 and four and then the three notes on the video and then all four notes.
    All in one sequence.
    It really Improves your control of timing.
