I am looking for recommendations on a DVD or computer program that will help me better understand some basic bass styles. I have a lot of experience with church worship bands but am being asked to take over the rhythm section to improve their skills and develop a better baackdrop for the singers.

What I am looking for is something I can play along with that will explain things like the patterns, pace or stlye of Latin, funk, swing. etc. I'm not so much looking for bass playing technque as I am seeking something that will help me unhderstand how the bass sets the style for the song.

Thanks for any help.

As far as DVD's go, there's many genre-specific titles...
Think Ed Friedland's book Bass Grooves might be up your alley... really discusses the role of rhythm for bassists, not only excellent examples, but also a really good read. His website (I think it's edfriedland.com, but you might want to google it) also has some really informative, sometimes interactive lessons along those lines as well. Not only a great bassist with pretty impressive credentials (esp. if you're into old R&B) but also just a really interesting, informative educator. Good stuff.

Thanks for responding. I'll check it out. A friend of mine also volunteered to give me real examples of different rhythm patterns through well-known songs, e.g. 16-beat swing is Al Jarreau "We're in this love forever." I can relate to that approach as well.
