My bass player is a newbie, and has horrible timing and no real rhythm, so I need some sites where he can learn new things. I'd show him stuff myself, but I suck at explaining things.

Videos would be great, btw.

And also some basic music theory. (Like really basic.)

Want me to come play bass for you? I'm *really *really good... :rolleyes:

Ok, so not really. I'm a drummer.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I learned plenty of techniques from the lessons there. Also, check out the forums on [url]www.mxtabs.net[/url].

I feel for you, but other than lessons from a real person, there's nothing other than just him playing with other people that'll make him better with rhythm. Buy him a metronome.

Heh, I just joined a Funk band a few days ago, so now I have to learn slap/pop. I can sorta do it. Just not very well.
