Rittor Music [Autumn Super Sale] Rhythm Training Book for Bassists: The Ultimate Practice to Gain Accurate Rhythm with Just a Click

Train your sense of rhythm, essential for bassists, with a metronome!
Rhythm is an essential skill for bassists, but it can be difficult to know how to develop a good sense of rhythm. While practicing rhythm can involve playing along with a drummer, training with a click is the best way to develop an accurate sense of rhythm on your own!
A click is a sound produced by a metronome or rhythm machine as a tempo guide. It produces a continuous sound with consistent timing, eliminating unnecessary noises, allowing for more intense training. This book is a collection of training exercises using clicks. It includes a variety of training phrases, including not just four clicks, but also alternate sounds and fewer clicks. This is a specialized instructional book for strengthening rhythm, helping you develop a precise sense of rhythm. *This book adds new elements to the well-received "Rhythm Training Book for Bassists," released in 2009.
