Metric Modulation

Metric modulation is a device that creates the illusion of moving to a new tempo while in fact staying with the original tempo. In this case I play quarter note triplets and regroup them into 4's which gives the illusion of playing in a faster tempo.

I'm playing along with "Meet the Bass Player", a great practice tool. You can get it here;

I play along with three choruses of "Rhythm changes". For the first two I alternate between the original tempo and the modulated one. In the third chorus I stay in the modulated tempo.
This topic will be covered in my upcoming book, complete with explanations and preparation exercises. If you're interested please subscribe and I'll give you more details shortly.

In the meantime enjoy the video.
