RHYTHM

Bassplayers have got this tendency to always play the same rhythms. Lots of styles also need a certain bass rhythm to be there all the time ; think of some South-American styles like samba, calypso, rhumba, etc.
And of course it is important not to change patterns and grooves every two bars. But why not be aware of the incredible number of possibilities so you can make your own original groove ?
