some times it easyer to drop notes than too add, it gives you a space and timming senses.
I find/found on change overs or chord changes just to hit the 4 down beat on the left, but if you experiment you can even drop or strike on the 3 rd or experiment and change the structure and infill with notes that help you. I am with you I am not a pianoist or keyboardist but have come back to music from school. I am know 61 years old. I have tried learning a few set pieces.
let it be original bass pattern took me for ever. gave up started again.
feel robbie williams. and Fur Elise the easy bit he he.
now a bit of boogie but I am very inconsistant.
I going to be laid up for three months as having Mitral valve surgery, but I will be able to twinkle my Kawai ES100 88keys.
I am on first lick stuff but have had a go at bass patterns before was trying to follow Brendan Kavanagh, Dr K but finding his stuff too irractic and not structure enough.
anyway just adding my two pence worth. If it tripping you up just miss it out and when practicing set hicks or trips just focus on that bit, till it gells. Patient is a vurtue I have never cultivated but seem it is essential to master anything. pratice, pratice oh and practice.
till I get board then it back to amazon prime video...life saver
