Need a new challenge for your rhythms? I’ve got you covered! In this lesson I take you through a very simple but very challenging exercise that has you playing quarter notes, 8th notes, triplets, 16ths, quintuplets, and 16th triplets…all at 60 BPM. Use the chapter markers to repeat sections as needed and let me know how it goes!

🧑 ABOUT ME
My name is Alex, and my passion is teaching music online. I’m a bass player and composer by training and trade, but what I really love to do is teach. I make my living teaching private lessons on Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Ukulele. My favorite thing to teach is theory - helping the students understand the “why” behind the music and empowering them to make better and more informed musical choices. I’m very adamant about teaching technique. This is how you gain power and control over your instrument and ultimately raise the ceiling on where your limits are and where they will be in the future.
I appreciate you participating in learning music with me, either for free through my videos or in private lessons in my virtual studio. Players of all abilities and backgrounds are welcome! There’s no music lesson I don’t love.
