More about this title

Why we love this

Bass Matrix abandons the pretense that groove mastery requires fluent sight reading. Rehm's intuitive notation system makes the material accessible to players who think rhythmically rather than theoretically, while the sheer breadth of over 400 audio examples (spanning styles, meters, and song contexts) gives students immediate, concrete models for how grooves actually sit in ensemble situations. This is hands-on bass education rooted in listening and muscle memory, not abstract drill.

What to expect

Approachable and immediately playable. The notation strips away academic formality in favor of clarity about note placement and duration, letting you focus on feel and timing rather than decoding symbols. Exploratory too: 296 pages of examples and variations invite you to discover how small rhythmic decisions reshape a groove's character across different styles and musical contexts.

Who it's for

Bass students at all levels who want to build a repertoire of practical grooves and fills across genres and time signatures. This works equally well for beginners intimidated by traditional notation and for experienced players seeking systematic exploration of rhythm subdivision, grouping strategies, and groove design across 4/4, odd meters, and everything in between.

How to get the most out of it

  • Engage the companion audio examples as your primary learning tool. The 400+ grooves and fills demonstrate how concepts translate into actual playing situations across multiple styles and meters.
  • Work through the Bass Matrix notation systematically rather than jumping between chapters. The system reveals itself more clearly when you build understanding sequentially.
  • Use the odd meter sections to expand your comfort zone. Start slowly and let the audio guide your internal pulse until the rhythmic shapes feel natural in your hands.
  • Return to the song-inspired examples once you've internalized a concept. Hearing a groove applied in context (and recognizing which bass players inspired it) reinforces your own stylistic choices.

How to use it

Assign it as a supplement to ensemble rehearsal, particularly for bass players who need stronger rhythmic independence and groove vocabulary. The materials work well for private lesson study, where a teacher can select relevant examples and guide application to the student's musical interests and technical level.

Skills your students will build

  • Groove construction and subdivision techniques
  • Reading intuitive (non-standard) notation for rhythm
  • Fill and riff design across multiple styles
  • Rhythmic phrasing in odd meters (3/4, 5/4, 7/4, etc.) and complex time signatures
  • Stylistic flexibility across genres (funk, rock, jazz, Latin, and hybrid forms)
  • Listening and transcription skills paired with notation interpretation
  • Transposition of grooves and fills across all keys
