    👋 Thanks for checking out this groove tutorial! For those who want to take this further - try practicing this exercise with a metronome while making sure to count out loud. Gradually start out at around 60 BPM and move it up it increments of 2 BPM until you get to 80 BPM. In the video, I'm performing this at 70 BPM.
    Drop a "🎸" in the comments when you nail it at your target tempo!
    💡 Quick Challenge: Try this same exercise but with different note combinations. For example, play the 8-bar exercise and then transpose it through the cycle of 4ths. Share your variations below - I'd love to see what you come up with!
    I'll reading every comment and will be choosing some of your groove variations for a future video. Keep them coming because I know you've got loads of fresh ideas!! 🔥

    While other "teachers" are pushing out fluff like - Jazz bass or P bass bro - or slap lick number 257....Joe keeps the musical content real and applicable. Keep 'em coming.

      This comment made my day! 😄 Love that you're seeing the bigger picture here. While gear and flashy licks have their place, it's those fundamental concepts that truly transform your playing. That's exactly why I created this groove exercise - it's about building that rock-solid foundation that works across ANY style, on ANY bass. Thanks for getting what we're doing here. These kinds of comments keep me motivated to deliver more real, practical content that actually moves the needle in your playing. 🎸

      @@kensharonyoga Thanks for vibing with this lesson! 🎸 If this groove exercise helped you out, I've got a challenge for you: Record yourself playing it at 60bpm, then start pushing it by 2bpm until you get to 80bpm.

      @JoeHubbardBass  Місяць тому

      Thanks- but here's something super crucial! 🎯 Be thinking about the counting volume - it's not just about making noise, it's about creating those strong neural pathways. When we count LOUD and clear, our brain processes rhythm differently than when we whisper or count internally. Fun fact: studies show that vocalization during practice activates additional motor learning centres in the brain. It's often the difference between students who progress quickly and those who plateau. Keep crushing it with that strong counting! 🎸

      This means a lot - thank you! 🙏 It's exactly the kind of impact I aim for - not just improving bass technique, but deepening your overall musical understanding, especially in jazz. Love that you're seeing these connections. Actually, this groove exercise ties directly into jazz playing - those precise rhythmic placements are crucial when you're grooving or playing more complex jazz lines. Keep that musical journey going - your thoughtful approach to learning really shows. And thanks for being such a supportive member of our bass community! 🎸

      Thanks! I bet you're already thinking about ways to level this up! 🎯 Here's a challenge: Try connecting exercises 1 & 2 while moving through the cycle of fourths (C-F-Bb-Eb etc). Start with 8 bars per key at 60bpm. Getting clean transitions between keys while maintaining that pocket is where the real magic happens. Drop a 🔥 when you nail it - interested to hear how it opens up your playing!

    Nice tip !, I have already found my own way of doing that by simply using 1234 for each of the 16th, then I replaced it by my personnal konnacol technique inspired by the indians (they are the masters of rhythms.).
    The most interesting part is when you start hearing it within the music you play or listen to.
    This execise is the best to master the holly groove we all want.
    love it.

    • @JoeHubbardBass
      @JoeHubbardBass  Місяць тому

      This is brilliant! 🙌 Love that you've connected this with Konnakol - you're absolutely right about Indian rhythmic mastery. That's such a powerful system for internalizing subdivisions. And yes, when you start hearing these subtle placements in the music you listen to, that's when everything levels up! Really dig how you've personalized the practice approach too.

      @@JoeHubbardBass I liked a lot "Function Harmonic concept" as it combines theory with ear training and you can apply immediately on the instrument. Same for the walking book. But all books (I have 5, not 4..) are good.

      @@Max-xr8lo Really appreciate this detailed feedback! 🎯 You nailed exactly what I was aiming for with the Functional Harmony book - that immediate connection between theory and real-world application. And yes, combining it with ear training is crucial - that's where the real musicianship develops! Love that you're working through the walking bass concepts too. Actually, the groove exercise in this new video ties in perfectly with both of those - it's all about feeling those subdivisions so you can place your notes with intention, whether you're walking or creating functional lines. Keep that deep practice going - this kind of systematic approach really shows in your playing! 🎸
