I’ve been playing bass for about a year using Yousician. I can hit gold on most songs inside the app, but I’ve realised I struggle massively with internal rhythm when I’m not following visual prompts. Without the app, I lose the beat completely.
I’m trying to figure out whether this is a normal stage in learning or a sign that I’ve built bad habits. I also feel stuck with slap bass — I can do some patterns slowly, but I haven’t progressed in months.
I’m not trying to join a band or be a pro. I just want to play songs I like and actually stay in time. For people who’ve been through this:
How did you develop internal rhythm after relying on apps? And how do you break out of a plateau like this?
