The Elements of Music: Rhythm (Part 2 of 4) | StudyBass

In part 2 of The Elements of Music, we discuss rhythm. Rhythm is the most essential part of music. I'll describe some of the most important aspects of rhythm like the beat, meter, tempo, rhythmic subdivisions and the bass' involvement with them.

Study bass actually covers the underlying knowledge required by musicians in general. I am surprised this channel has less subscribers. More power to you.👍🌟🌟

Hey @StudyBass! A couple years back I went through every single lesson on your site and it gave me a lot of confidence as a bass player, thanks for all you've done for the community.

I was looking through your site to see if you ever talked about the optimal way of playing with your drummer and this video is the closest one I've found. I was playing with a new drummer this week and I couldn't figure out how to gel with him. I wasn't sure if I should be playing on the Kick, or between the Kicks or how and when he or I should play fills and we didn't sound all that great.

If you ever get back to videos it'd be great to hear your tips on playing with a band. Thanks!

Outstanding video. I'll actually be referencing this to some students learning general music. The way you have put this forward would be helpful for all budding musicians bass and non-bass players alike.
