Summary: Music has always been a part of all of us as human beings. This being the case we have devised ways to write it, read it and, of course, play it. We have developed terms for every musical scenario that might occur and ways to teach all of this, as well. Things like minor and major, 7th chords, intervals and chords are all great examples of the way we like to organize things as a species. Improvisation is a great example of the speed at which our brains work. Very popular among jazz players, improvisation is a great tool to test your knowledge of the instrument as well as let go of some of the rules.

In this free music instruction video series, watch as jazz musician Ryan Larson teaches advanced bass guitar lessons discussing rhythm techniques on a bass guitar. From eighth notes to triplets, staccato to slap and pop progression, the foundation of bass guitar rhythm is taught here.
