The 6 Essential 16th Note Rhythms You NEED To Learn!

This week we're going to look at rhythm, specifically 16th note rhythms. 16th notes can be problematic for bass players just getting started with the more funk oriented styles. Syncopated 16th notes can be particularly tough.

So in this lesson I'm going to break down the 6 basic rhythms you need to work on in developing a good rhythmic foundation. We'll learn how to read, play and feel them in isolation before adding pitch into the mix.

That is why we need to learn the importance of reading music and understanding the rhythm patterns in every bassline.

Wow that video teached me something i spent a days pondering with in my head... Never got the idea of just treating it like blocks... I'm not sure if i should feel super stupid, or happy that i get it now..

Wow! Mark, thank you again for the amazing video. I have been really struggling with playing sixteenth notes recently, and this video has really helped😀 What you have taught in this video, along with everything else, has turned me from a wanna be bassist to a gigging musician, and I want to thank you for that!

Practising this for a few weeks has truly elevated my playing. Came back here to say thanks again Mark!

Ive spent the last 3 months building my own bass from scratch and learning music theory in the mean time on my keyboard. I finished it like 3 weeks ago and been practicing and still learning as much theory as possible everyday. I have to say this is one of the most helpful lessons for me so far.
My main focus right now is speed and my fretting hand. I feel like Im having the most trouble crossing string with 16th notes
