The song “Smoothly” is a really grooving, medium tempo, jazzy funk tune that’s super fun to play. Stylistically, this one’s loosely in the vein of the band Steely Dan (if you haven’t heard of Steely Dan, definitely check them out). It's gonna challenge you with time keeping, new rhythms, and a host of other essential bass skills. While jamming to this track, other things you’ll learn along the way are: Fundamental rhythms: quarter notes, quarter rests, eighth notes and rests, How to play clear and solid notes with great technique, consistently, Muting techniques using both hands, Tips on locking in with the drummer and a band, Staccato articulations, And much more!
