The Brown’stone: The Fundamentals of Time & The Metronome

Editor’s note: Please help us welcome our newest contributor, the talented Rich Brown! Rich is kicking off a new Bass Lesson series here on No Treble. Be sure to subscribe below to get his new lessons in your inbox.

In my very first lesson, I’ll be taking you through some fundamental exercises dealing with time and groove. We’ll start with the basics of playing with a metronome, and we’ll get into more challenging exercises based on the 16th note subdivision.

This is the metronome exercise you need in your life.
