Bass

66 Grooves

The bass is the handshake between the drums and everything else. Four families — the piano's own four — each with its own 66, climbing from roots-and-fifths to sixteenth-note funk. Loop a groove until it sits.

Grooves 1–22 are free. The faded ones need a subscription what it costs.

Major · 66 the bright set: pop, soul, disco, motown walks

Natural minor · 66 the dark workhorse: rock, metal, the ♭6→5 drop

Harmonic minor · 66 the drama scale: the ♮7 pull, flamenco and metal

Melodic minor · 66 jazz minor: the 5→6→7→1 walk natural minor cannot make

Triplet grooves · 66 — shuffle, 12/8, swing: the grid IS the feel
