Some of our friends who started out with conventional classical music training (e.g. piano classes) gave us feedback that they're not familiar with how to make beats and basslines. Since beats and basslines are the backbone of most popular music, forming the rhythm section of pop and rock and EDM, it's important to learn how to create them. Fortunately there are ample resources online, and this is a selection of them.
