Geared towards people who are new to playing LH bassline, the emphasis is on developing solid timing and rhythm by playing the simple patterns along with the CD until they come automatically. - - Organ bass lines are broken down from the most complicated stuff (bounces, flips, passing tones, syncopated lines) to their simplest and most basic rudiments starting with taps and pulses... Simply stick the CD-R into your player and play along with the tracks to develop your rhythm, fingering, hand position and coordination. Each rudiment repeats itself for 40 seconds to a minute. (After learning the rudiment you can either work through the CD (recommended) or take it to other keys and tempos on your own.)
