Un-Foot tapping



Our bass player had to miss tonights rehearsal.
Rhythm player finger picks with picks on his fingers.
He plays bass lines, fills, lead and rhythm all at the same time.
He has played solo for years.
He is very good at what he does but I can't follow him.
I go to play a solo and find myself conflicting with his solo.
The drummer likes to play before or after the beat at times.
Where's the rhythm?
I tried tapping my foot and it wouldn't tap.
It tapped but not where it should tap.
Do they make digital delays for foot tapping?
Bass player keeps everything together.
