Should I Practice with the Metronome on Beats 1 & 3 or 2 & 4?

In this lesson, Danny Ziemann outlines the differences between playing walking bass lines with the metronome set on beats one and three compared with setting it on beats two and four. ​​Most players set the metronome on beats 2 & 4, but Danny explores some compelling reasons why you may wish to switch to beats 1 & 3.

At the end of the video, Danny references his new course The Bass Player’s Rhythm Workshop.
