Summary of This Method
This method dedicated to 5-string and 6-string bass offers no less than 50 grooves "across all styles," directly inspired by the approach of great modern bassists. The goal is clear: to help you progress musically and technically, while giving you concrete ideas to create richer, deeper, and more impactful bass lines thanks to the low B string.
Musically, each groove highlights the contribution of the extension into the low register: rhythmic placement, articulation, tone, and motif construction become more expressive as soon as you intelligently incorporate this additional string. You thus develop real ease in switching registers, reinforcing a backbeat, thickening a riff, or giving more weight to a groove without overloading the arrangement.
Technically, the method leads you to fully "tame" the instrument by exploring essential gestures for modern bass. On the left hand: hammers, pull-offs, dead notes, and slides to gain fluidity and control. On the right hand: finger alternation, pick, slap, and palm mute to vary attacks, dynamics, and the character of the sound. All of this concretely illustrates everything possible with an extra string, always serving the groove.
For effective learning, the video allows you to see the grooves played "in context," first at real speed, then slowed down to detail phrasing and timing. The MP3 audio invites you to play along with long playbacks (4 to 5 minutes each) to work endurance, precision, and consistency, with two speeds available (real and slow) for each groove. The result: a progressive, structured, and motivating training, ideal for perfecting your playing in conditions close to live performance.
