Eighth-Note Rests & The Importance of Leaving Space
Summary
This next course highlights a key aspect of bass playing: knowing when not to play. “It’s not always about the notes you play in your bass lines, but rather the ones you don’t.” This is such an important concept to understand and put into practice, because it helps the musicality of all great bass lines.
The focus in this set of lessons will be eighth-note rests, with two practice pieces in a rock style, plus one more inspired by Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay”.
