Thank you for this video. I subscribed to your channel because of it. There is some discussion in comments below that playing ON the beat of a metronome is not groovy playing. I agree with that statement, but I'm not sure that is precisely your point. A bassist can play with a straight feel or a swing feel. S/he can lock in with the drummer on the 1 & 3 of the bass drum or the 2 & 4 of the snare drum. S/he can play "in the pocket". S/he can play with syncopation, or come in just before the beat, or just after the beat. S/he can play an anacrusis at the beginning of a song or song part. Whatever the case, a bassist needs to be precise with respect to the song's tempo (timing). And THAT'S where practicing with a metronome is so valuable. As Nick Mason, Pink Floyd drummer, said: A band is made up of a Drummer and a Bassist with additional novelty acts. We need to get it right.

Hi Tatiana, often out of laziness I practise with youtube drum loops, but you are absolutely right that the metronome is essential (even if a bit boring)

" nice" i learned something today👌thankyou. im 63 & taught myself by ear from age 7. i still cant read music nor done 1 lesson in my life. whether it be bass or guitar i believe groove is a personally combined syncopated "feel" of timing + string "strike type" (slap, tap or picked) + fret pressure relative to the flow & feel of the song rather than perfectly timed bland scale movements

Hi, I watched this video after your short lesson on dimished chords. Your presentation style is easy to follow, fun, progressive at a good pace and informative. I've subscribed!

Google has a metronome built into its search engine. It’s basic and free.

Good tutorial -thanks. BTW, What brand of bass do you have there?

I never looked for a definition of the groove, but if someone would ask me that, I would say that the groove is achieved when a player is capable to play exactly on the grid, but plays a little out of the grid intentionally.

excellent practice

I come here to help my left hand piano playing. Bass players are groovy and this helped.

Oh, I'm in this video!!!

This is not good advice. Groove is the opposite of what this video says it is. Groove isn't playing notes on the clicks of a metronome. Groove is when your notes
