How many of those time signatures can you count out confidently without hesitation? How many of those can you play in comfortably and on demand? And finally… how many of those can you really groove with?Survey says that most intermediate players would boil it all down to three time signatures: 4/4, 2/4 and 3/4.? Make that four time signatures if you play the blues because you’d also be very comfortable with the 12/8 signature. Five time signatures if you added 6/8 to the list because you play a lot of jigs, polkas, tarantella, marches and some 6/8 rock. And yea, jazzers might be inclined to increase the number to maybe eight time signatures because they’ve been introduced to 5/4, 11/4 and 9/8. Add a few world genres and/or modern jazz signatures and lets move the number all the way to ten time signatures.It’s not enough.Chops, technical skills and a solid knowledge base of theory and harmony are very important but most of all, musicians need to master time and rhythm. Its timing and rhythm that hold it ALL together; the band, the arrangement, the performance, the pocket and of course… the groove.Whatever the time signature, a competent musician should be able to hear it, count it, play it and craft a groove with it. Musicians need to master time to become a master of rhythm and groove. Become a master of groove and your phone will never stop ringing.Kai Eckhardt’s Atomic Bass: Time Continuum is focused solely on time signatures and the rhythmic possibilities that lie within those time signatures. It’s also the most insightful, most comprehensive and most impactful bass guitar course that has ever been authored and presented on the topic.
