Etudes for Rhythm Practice

[Newtransistorhero]

Afternoon

 

I've been working my way through TalkingBass's course on Technique Building. It's really good and is improving my knowledge of scales and the neck notes

 

I'm wondering if there is something similar but for rhythm. These are designed to be played in 16th notes or triplets and that's all good but I would like something complementary

Would you consider Standing in the shadows of Motown?

The book I’ve linked to has a series of exercises that divide 4/4 time up.

 

They increase in complexity.

 

You can also get an odd time signature book too which is very good.

I've found playing drum rudiments helpful in the past. 

 

Treat left and right as different notes.
