    I need help finding a starting place

    I'll try that with the metronome Joe linked! So am I trying to hit the space between clicks or hit the every other notes? Or am I playing as if it was ticking every beat and playing 4 beats when I only hear 2? Thanks again guys, this helps so much! Edited for clarification

    Bruh y'all have helped me so much. This simplified everything. I feel freer now! I'll look up those exercises to improve my inner clock... I'm not that good at using a metronome, do I count while it's ticking or just play on the ticks without counting? Man I feel so free!

    I've been playing bass for a little over 3 months. I played guitar for a couple years, but my rhythm SUCKS! How should I learn rhythm? I can't subdivide for trash lol. I feel like when I think of the concept of counting I focus too much on counting and lose feeling the song... I've been using...

    Timing is everything.

    Fire the drummer...? This thread has been very valuable to me. I'm new to bass and learning importance of timing and wheres and when helps a lot. Thanks
